Spring Pastel Dotticure

Hey Y'all!  I feel like I haven't posted in forever! I have been so busy with Valentine's Day, I couldn't get too many videos mad, and now I'm just lacking so much inspiration. Luckily there's only a few more days til March and green mani's! So today I have a random spring pastel Dotticure for ya! I was inspired by a picture on Pinterest that had no watermark, so not sure who the owner is, but it was beautiful so I wanted to try it. 

Here's how: 

I started with a light pink base of Cuccio "Tuscan Temptress."

Then with a dotting tool and a mint polish (Pure Ice "Home Run") I added dots randomly around the nail.

Next I used a very light pink polish (Sinful Colors "Easy Going") and added dots filling in the spaces between and next to the mint dots. 

Then I went back in with the mint and added a couple more dots wherever I thought it was needed. 

Finish everythin off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it! Super simple! Watch the video tutorial here: http://youtu.be/CaDSr-H2ZUY

Hope y'all enjoyed this! If you recreate it use the tag #MagsyInspired on Instagram so I can see!

Heather Grey Dry Brush

Hey Y'all!  I am a little late in gettin this blog post up, but I'm doin it anyways! This is for my heather grey Tshirt inspired dry brush! 

Let's just get right into it!

I started with a light grey base of Sephora Formula X "Extraordinary."

Then with a darker grey, Essie "Chinchilly," I wiped the brush off on the bottle as much as possible.

Then in back and forth sweeping motions, I brushed it across the nail, leaving streaks. 

Then again with another darker grey, Sinful Colors "My Turn," I wiped the brush off as much as possible. 

And again in sweeping motions, drag it across the nail. Not completely covering the nail. 

And finally use a white, Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube." 

Wipe the brush off as much as possible. 

And sweep it across the nail. 

I continue repeating the process, alternating the colors until I get the desired look. 

Use a small brush with some acetone to clean up any polish on the skin. 

Finish everythin off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!

Pink Camo

Hey Y'all!

I know I have been neglecting my blog recently! My heart just wasn't in it for a bit. I have been so crazy busy up until now, it just took a back seat. But I'm hopin I'm back to it for awhile! 

Today I have a fun pink camo look for ya! I really love the way they turned out! It was a different take on it that I think worked for a fun look!

Here's How:

I started with a hot pink base color. "Tickled Pink" by Salon Perfect.

I used this stampin plate by Bundle Monster, to create the camo look. It's plate number 310 from the 2012 collection. 

I'm using a dark green color for the first stamp layer. Pure Ice "Internationally Known." Polish the image on the plate.

Then scrape the polish towards you using a scraper. I used my creative shop stamper set. 

Pick the image up with a rollin motion. 

Line up your nail with the image and press into the stamper. 

And there's the first layer of your camo. 

Always clean your stamper with a piece of tape to keep it in good condition.

Clean off your plate between colors with a cotton round and some acetone.

Repeat the process with your next color. I used a lighter green "Pistache," from Sinful Colors.

Paint the polish on the image.

Scrape the polish towards you.

Pick up the image with a rollin motion.

Line it it up with your nail and press into the stamper. Now you have two layers of your camo.

Clean off your plate and stamper for your next color.

Repeat this process one more time with your last color. I used a dark brown "Scandal," by Pure Ice.

Paint the polish on the image.

Scrape the polish towards you.

Pick up the image with your stamper in a rollin motion. 

Line it up with your nail and press your nail into the stamper. Now you have all 3 layers to your camo!

Use a small brush with acetone to clean up the excess polish on the skin.

Finish everythin off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!

Black and Gold Abstract

Hey Y'all!

Today I have a black and gold abstract design for ya!

Here's How:

I started with a gold base of Sinful Colors "Gold Medal."

Then with a striper brush and a matte black polish (Sinful Colors "Whipped") I painted a line down half my nail just right of the actual center. 

and paint a second line next to the first, leavin a gap of gold in between them.

Next paint a line connectin from the first line to the outer edges of the nail. 

Repeat on the other side. 

Then with the actual polish brush fill in the two sections. 

Like this. 

For the pinky I did the whole nail so just 2 stripes down the nail, leavin that gold gap.

Fill in the two sides.

Use a small brush with acetone to clean up any excess polish on the skin.

And that's it!

I love the way these turned out. The matte black looks so good against the gold.
