Raibow Water Marble

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lack of posts recently I have really been into doing much to my nails, but I think I am getting out of this funk now so I should have more manis soon!  This was my third time trying water marble nail art.  I really hate the process and I am not very good at it at all.  I like how this one turned out and it is a mani I have been wanting to do for almost two years.  Also I didn't tape off my fingers or us any Vaseline so sorry if there is some stray polish on my fingers in the pics I thought I got all of it but I noticed some when cropping my pics.

I used a base of Essie Topless and Barefoot, the for the water marble I used Wet N Wild Everybody Loves Redmond, China Glaze Papaya Punch, China Glaze Lemon Fizz, Essie Mojito Madness and Sinful Colors Why Not. I then topped it off with a coat of inm Northern Lights Holographic Topcoat.

 

 

 

 

Wait Teal You See!

Hey guys,

The other day I picked up one of the new Ombre kits from China Glaze, I got Wait Teal You See.  This set comes with White On White, Aquadelic, For Audrey and Turned Up Turquoise.  I actually only bought this set to get Aquadelic, but I figured I would give this Ombre/Gradient a try.  If you frequent my blog then you will know that I love a good gradient mani.  The set comes with four nail polishes and ten sponges to do the gradient with.  I went ahead and used the sponge that comes with the kit, however I do not recommend them.  I would much rather use my cheapie makeup sponges I get from Dollar Tree.  With that being said I still like the outcome it just much harder for me to work with the sponge than my usual one.  On a sidenote I could not get Turned Up Turquoise to show up for me in the pics not matter what lighting I used so the pics are not very accurate.  So sorry about that!

I used the entire China Glaze Ombre set Wait Teal You See! and topped the mani off with inm Northern Lights Holographic Topcoat

 

Please excuse the Instagram photo, it's the only pic I have of the packaging!

Across the Universe

Hey guys,

I saw this Across the Universe tutorial by Totally Cool Nails on Youtube and I pretty much went and instantly re-created it.  Across the Universe is one of my favorite movies and I love what she came up with for this inspired mani.  In hindsight I wish I had done my dots way smaller or actually skipped that step but I still think they turned out pretty cool.

I used Color Club Naughty-Cal Navy, Orly Royal Navy, Orly Dayglow, inm Northern Lights Holographic Topcoat, and red and green acrylic paint.

 

 

 

 

Stars and Stripes

Hey guys,


I am trying to do more nail art lately, but I have been feeling really uninspired.  It may be time for some new nail art supplies!  This mani turned out different than what I had pictured in my head but it is still pretty cute.  I used China Glaze Bahamian Escape, white acrylic paint, inm Northern Lights topcoat, and some nail art confetti/glitter that I got at Dollar Tree.

 

 

 

 

Party of Five Glitters

Hey guys,

I was craving a bright, glittery mani so I did this one last night.  I used Sinful Colors Bikini, Wet n Wild Party of Five Glitters and inm Northern Lights Holographic topcoat.  Bikini is the most awesome hot pink, almost neon nail polish ever, it is probably my favourite pink out of my whole collection.  I really like this combo it is a nice bright fun mani that makes me happy!

 

 

 

 

Green Christmas Gradient

Hey guys,

I have a green gradient to show today.  I like this although I wish I had added a third color to help this blend a little better.  I started off with Revlon Top Speed Jaded and Essie Mojito Madness.  I sponged on the gradient after applying one coat of Jaded to my nails.  Then I applied a coat of inm Northern Lights Holographic top coat over to help blend and smooth things out.  I also found a dupe for China Glaze Party Hearty!  It is by Salon Perfect Glam Glitter, it is from what I can tell almost and exact dupe of Party Hearty.  I added a coat of it on top of my gradient and I love the way it looks.
