Pinsperation

Hi guys!

I'm back with another Pinterest inspired mani! Todays inspiration comes from "Nuthin' But a Nail Thing".

Here is the link to her original design.

gradient nails tutorial
When I came across this on Pinterest I knew IMMEDIATELY that I wanted to try it! I decided to go with a white to mint gradient with sort of a gradient polka dot effect. Here is what I used and how it looked!



-Essie Turquoise and Caicos 
-Kleancolor White


Essie-Turquoise and Caicos-Butter London-Matte

 AND because I think Matte is the coolest thing ever I decided to matte them! 



Matte Finish By Butter London is really great! I think its one of the best out there. I found this one on a blog sale for 8 bucks! Score!!!!!

So what do you guys think? I totally love these nails. Both matte and with a top coat. I want to do this mani over and over again with different colors! LOL 

Have a wonderful Friday!

Ho HO Ho!

Hi there! I'm really starting to get into the Christmas Spirit. I have my first Christmas themed mani today. Yay! 


 

I used Sinful Colors Exotic Green for the base then using NYC Matte Me crazy I matted them. (I do adore matte finishes) Then using a white liner I did the snowflakes and the words. Then I added some random polka dots because well...why not! hahaha Kinda cute I think. I'm a bit happier with my snowflakes than last time. Yay! One more mani to post after this. :)

Ciao!

Winter Nail Art

Hi there! I'm finally back to blogging. These past few weeks have been rough. I've been sick and totally not up to doing my nails. I will say that they were perfectly polished the whole time though! ;)
Today I have an attempt at some snowflakes. I am not so into these nails..They kinda look like branches. Oh well! Winter branches it is! hahaha






 


Using Bonita colors Picasso Blue as my base color I then used NYC Matte About you to give them the matte finish. I used China Glaze Tin Man for the silver tips and for my Snowflake-Branches I used just a white liner. I kind of like it. I just wish my snowflakes were a bit more even. I plan on entering this in a nail art contest over at Jilltastic Nail Design. Wish me luck!

Ciao!
