Kaboom!

Hey guys,

I have one of the Salon Perfect Neon Collision polishes to show you all today.  This one is Kaboom, it is a dupe for Ninja Polish Floam, it is a neon green and blue matte glitter polish.  I love that a drugstore brand duped such a unique and fun indie polish.  I have wanted Floam for a while but I kinda hate messing with ordering indie polishes so I just avoided getting it.  The Neon Collision collection has a bunch of different neon glitter polishes in different color combos which is great!  I got this one and Shocked (which I will show you all tomorrow probably) because they were the only two polishes that I knew I would personally wear.  When I first tried these out I didn't use a base for them, fyi big mistake, they look a million times better with a        colored polish under them.  I really love the color combo I chose for this one and I can't wait to try more.

Metallic Dotticure

Hey guys,

I have got something completely different for me today.  I started with a really sheer off-white base and then added metallic dots in different sizes.  I just used three different sized dotting tools for this and I placed the dots randomly on my nail.  This looks so cool to me, I love the sheer base where you can see your natural nail through it, I can't wait to try this with other colors!

Whimsical Gradient

Hey guys,

I was bored the other night and was randomly googling nail polish colors and came across Revlon Whimsical.  I have completely forgotten about this color for some reason and I decided I had to use it asap.  I would rate Whimsical as one of my top ten maybe even top five favorite polishes.  It looks so pretty over so many different colors and I especially love it over turquoise and blues.  For this mani I wanted to do something fun and different from some of the other Whimsical mani's I have done.  I did a gradient of purple and blue on my ring, middle and thumb, and then used just the purple on my pinky and the blue on my index finger.  I love how this turned out and the gradient with these two colors was kind of perfection.  I hope you enjoy!

Multi-Colored Water Spotted

Hey guys,

So when I tried the water spotted nails the other day I thought that it might be cool to see what it would look like if I did a few different colors.  This one was definitely trial and error, I had a hard time getting the color to spot at first and I was trying to use hairspray but it was not working well.  I figured out that if I did just one drop of the nail color onto the water and then sprayed with body spray I got the polish to separate better.  I did one color at a time and I thought it looked pretty cool once I was done with it.

Water Spotted Nails

Hey guys,

So I decided to try out the water spotted technique that everyone has been doing lately.  I  first saw this when Cute Polish on YouTube posted a video on it several months ago.  If you would like to watch the video go here.  The technique starts off very similar to water marble nails using a cup of water and dripping polish on the surface of the water.  But for this you use only one color and you will need some kind of alcohol based spray (hairspray, body spray) I used a body spray but I think next time I will try hairspray to see if I get a different result.  You drop the polish one drop at a time until it spreads over the surface of the water, I did three to four drops for each nail, after you have the polish in the cup you need to spray the surface with your alcohol based spray.  This will cause the polish to separate and that is how you get the spotted look.  This was my first time doing this and I seemed to have a hard time get the polish to actually spot, I think my water was a little to cold for one and I think I should try a different spray next time.  Anyways this was actually super easy to do and you get such a cool look from it!  Make sure you cover the skin and some of your fingers with tape or Vaseline before you do this because you will get polish all over your fingers and it is HORRIBLE to clean up.

Nautical Themed Nails!

Hey guys,

I have some super cute nautical nails today, I can't believe I haven't done really done these before!  This look would work well for Fourth of July as well but I think they are cute as a summertime mani period.  For my index and pinky finger I used a small dotting tool to create my polka dots, for the middle and ring I started with a white base and then used my striping tape to get the blue lines, then added a couple of little red hearts to the striped nails.  Hope you all enjoy!

Dandelion Nail Art

Hey guys,

I decided to try some dandelion nail art, I have seen several of these types of mani's floating around on the internet.  I got the main inspiration for this one from Pshiiit, she did one a week or two ago and I just thought it was so cute.  Mine is not as nice as hers and I need to practice this one more but I hope you enjoy it!

Colors used: Frankend Orly Space Cadet (added white it's the funnest franken to make and takes maybe a quarter of a bottle of white to make it this awesome dusty blue with copper/pink shimmer), China Glaze Kalahari Kiss and black acrylic paint
