Sparkle Cotton Buds

Hey Y'all!

Today I have a different design for ya. I had no idea what to do on my nails and I knew I wanted a palette cleanser, and cotton buds just came to mind. I had already had a white back ground on and so I thought the cotton would look pretty on top. 

Here's how:

I started with a white base of Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube."

Then added a layer of Salon Perfect "Snowed In," glitter.

and sandwiched it in with one layer of Sinful Colors "Outta Space."

Next with a striper brush and a brown polish I drew a stem for the cotton. I used Elf  "Smoky Brown."

Then with a dottin tool and a grey polish I added lil grey puffs for the cotton. The grey I used was Sephora Formula X "Extraordinary."

Once that was dry I went in with the striper brush and the white polish and filled in the centers of the cotton to help give it more dimension. 

Then I went back in with the brown to create more definition in the stem around the cotton buds.

here's a closeup of the finished look.

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. 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.

Recycle Mani Monday: Chevron Tips

Hey Y'all!

Sorry this post is late!

It's Recycle Mani Monday again!

Today I did some more chevron tips.

Here's How:

Regular tape is gonna be the tool for this one. 

I take the corner of the piece of tape and line it up on my nail with my previous 'v' shape design. 

Make sure to push the tape down so no polish will get under it. 

Then I painted the remainder of my nail with a nude polish. I used Zoya "Charlott." 

Immediately remove the tape before the polish dries. 

Use a small brush with acetone to cleanup any excess polish on your skin.

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

And that's it!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Hey Y'all!

I'm so far behind in my blog posts but here goes!

This was my 4th of July mani! 

It's a glow in the dark star mani! Perfect for the dark night watchin fireworks!

Look at that Glow! So Fun!

Also It was my 3rd year Instagram anniversary!

I painted my logo to celebrate!

Here's How:

I started with naked nails.

I used these star stickers I got from Walmart or GW Supply. They're just regular stickers.

I also used a pair of tweezers to make it easier to apply and remove the stickers.

I applied a glow in the dark top coat to my naked nails. I used Pure Ice Glow Top Coat.

Then I applied a regular top coat (Salon Perfect) to help the nail dry faster, so the stickers wouldn't ruin the glow base.

I used my tweezers to apply my star stickers. 

I applied 2 stars on each nail. You can apply as many as you want.

Then I used a blue polish to paint over the whole nail includin the stickers. I used Salon Perfect "Indigo-go."

Immediately remove the stickers before the blue polish can dry. 

I used my small brush and acetone to cleanup any excess polish.

Finish it all off with your favorite top coat. I used Salon Perfect.

And that's it!
