Gradient Flowers

Hi Guys!

The other day I was browsing the internet (surprise, surprise) when I came across some street fashion on a website that I can't remember! :(

It was a site that showed everyday people with really great style!

Anyway, I saw a girl who was wearing an ombre purple shirt with a metallic floral necklace.

 I thought it was gorgeous and I wanted to use it as inspiration for nail art!

Thus, the gradient with metallic flowers!

The colors I used are: OPI Steady As She Rose, China Glaze Spontaneous, and OPI Designer De Better! I also added little gold glitter to the center of the flowers!

Here we go...

 

 

Thank youuuu for reading!

Until next time...

 

C'est fini!

Good-bye, Summer!

Hey!

First of all, I would like to say Hello to all my new followers! Thank you so much!

I truly appreciate you all!

Today I really wanted to do a fun post saying "good-bye, summer!"

Since today is the last official day of summer (in the USA), there is no better time!

While I imagine some of you may be heart-broken that the warmest, most carefree season is over (unless you live somewhere warm all the time!), I know there are some of you who love fall!

Just like me!

:)

So... I wanted to do my nails of things that remind me of summertime.

For this manicure I used real sand that I brought back from Punta Cana on my pinkie - inspired by the beautiful beaches there. I also added a little silver starfish!

On my ring finger I used real jean material that I cut into my nail shape - inspired by cutoff denim shortie-shorts.

Then I did a orange-yellow gradient inspired by the warm summer sky!

Then I did a glitter-y blue/green combo on my pointer finger - inspired by mermaids!

Don't judge me, they ARE real! :p

I will list all the polishes used at the bottom of the post.

 

 

The colors I used were: China Glaze For Audrey on the pinkie. China Glaze Lemon Fizz and Essie Meet Me At Sunset on my middle finger. Essie Dive Bar, OPI Fresh Frog of BelAir, and Sinful Colors Hottie on my pointer finger. My ring finger is just jean held on my a base coat underneath and a top coat.

 

Some questions for you guys!

1. Would you like to see pictures of the actual polish?

2. Where are you from? I'm really interested! I think other cultures are amazing!

 

Thank you soooo much for reading! I really appreciate that you take time out of your day to visit!

Back to Black

Today I did a gradient featuring the Maybelline Color Show nail polish that I did a post on the other day. Turns out the polish lasts really well without chipping! I was impressed so I wanted to do a little something extra to my manicure. I knew I wanted to do a gradient, but wasn't sure with which color. So as I was going through my collection, it was between chunky glitter, lilac, white, or black.

Well, I obviously chose black because.. let's be honest, I adore dark nail polish. I used a black OPI polish that has no name because it came in a Halloween kit I bought one year.

Anyway, I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out so until next time! :)



Meet Me At Sunset

Today I'm bringing you a gradient manicure inspired by summer sunsets.

This is my first attempt at doing a gradient type anything, therefore it's a little messy.

However, I still enjoy it very much and my camera picked up the colors to a T.

Now that I have a method down you can expect to see more (and preferably better) gradients!

Also, I want to apologize for not updating since April, but I was extremely busy finishing up college.

[I graduated in May! :D]

Then I went on a wonderful vacation. After I got home I had to get used to the daily grind again, but

I'm baaack again so if you have any requests feel free to ask!

Oh yeah, don't mind the messiness, I did not have the tools to clean up properly! 

For this gradient I used Essie - Meet Me At Sunset and China Glaze - Lemon Fizz.
