Blue Spaces

Hey!!

I have such a cute manicure for you today. I found this online through Pinterest. For this manicure, you will need a nude nail polish, a sapphire metallic nail polish, and a navy nail polish.

I started with a base coat of OPI nail envy maintenance. I then did two coats of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Birthday Suit. I then painted the left corner of the nail with China Glaze Want My Bawdy. I also did the right bottom corner with Revlon Color Stay Indigo. Once it was completely dry, I finished my manicure with a fast drying top coat of Poshe.

I really liked how simple this was and yet it is so FUN!! You just have to have a steady hand; I think it helps to move your hand that you are painting versus moving the brush, when you are painting the corners. I hope you enjoyed this look and I will see you next time!

Chrome Royalty Powder

Hey!!!

I am SO STOKED about this manicure! Have you heard about chrome manicures?? For Valentine's Day, my husband got me a royalty powder from WhatsUp Nails. It is a blue/purple chrome powder and I LOVE IT!! For this manicure you will need a black nail polish, a clear peel off base coat polish, and a chrome royalty powder.

I started off with a base coat of OPI nail envy maintenance. Then I did two coats of Revlon Color Stay Stiletto. Once that was completely dry, I used the chrome royalty powder by dipping my finger into the powder and rubbing it over the nails.

I REALLY LOVE THIS!! <3 So, I totally did NOT know about the peel off base coat that is supposed to be go on after the powder is applied. I had to go order one online, I could not find one in any beauty store close to me. So this photo was taken right after applying the powder, nothing on top of it. So, you would continue with the peel off base coat and then apply a fast drying top coat. The peel off base coat makes it so that it keeps the chrome shine, because top coat alone will dull the shine of the chrome. Yeah. It's kind of a process, but look at that SHINE!! I hope you loved this one as much as I did and I will see you next time!

Love Letter

Hey!!

This week's mani was inspired by my sister in law and by another Instagram nail account. This nail account is called my.polished.life. This was the first time I tried newspaper nails and it was so easy! For this manicure you will need newspaper, alcohol swabs, red nail polish, white nail polish, black nail polish, a nail art brush and a tiny dotting tool.

I started off with a base coat of OPI nail envy maintenance. I then did two coats of OPI Alpine Snow. Then I grabbed a piece of newspaper that had lettering on it. I then opened up a packet of an alcohol swab and removed it from the packaging. I then took the newspaper and placed it over the nail and placed the swab on top of the newspaper while it was on the nail. I left it on the nail until it was completely wet, maybe 10 seconds. Then I removed the paper and it left lettering on the nail. I did this to all of my nails except for my ring fingernail. I then took my black nail polish, Revlon Color Stay Stiletto, and my nail art brush and drew on lines on my ring fingernail so that it looks like an envelope. I then used a red nail polish, L.A. Colors GEL Fierce and a tiny dotting tool to paint on a small heart on the envelope. Once that was completely dry, I finished my manicure with a fast drying top coat of Poshe.

This was so fun and so simple! I really liked doing this manicure. I hope you enjoyed this look and I will see you next time!

Red Horizon

Hello!!

This week I got my inspiration from another Instagram nail account called _miriilein. For this manicure you will need a red nail color, a white nail color, a gold nail color, some striping tape, some aluminum foil, a tiny dotting tool and tweezers.

I started with a base coat of OPI nail envy maintenance. I then did two coats of L.A. Colors GEL in Fierce. I then used a fast drying top coat on my middle and ring fingernails. I placed two pieces of striping tape, so that they would form an x on the middle of the nail. I then placed more pieces of striping tape so that they come down and out from the first two pieces of tape. I then painted over the tape in OPI Alpine Snow, except for the very bottom and top areas that formed a small triangle, which I painted in with a very small dotting tool and Orly Luxe. I then immediately removed the striping tape with tweezers. I then finished with a fast drying top coat of Poshe.

This was FUN! It was a little complicated placing the tape and painting the smaller areas, but other than that, pretty easy. I really like this gel nail polish. SO SHINY. I hope you liked this mani and I will see you next time!

Cheetah Print French Tip

Hello!

This manicure was another great idea found in a link, to an article, about nail art designs, specifically, doing a twist on the french tip. I decided on a cheetah print on the white french tip. For this manicure you will need a black nail color, a hot pink nail color, a white nail color, a nude nail color, dotting tools, striping tape and a small sheet of aluminum foil.

I started off with a base coat of OPI nail envy maintenance. I then did two coats of LA Colors GEL Vanilla Latte. Once that was dry, I then placed a single piece of striping tape, just a little above the tip of the nail, to mark where the white tip would be painted. I then painted the white tip with OPI Alpine Snow and carefully removed the striping tape right after painting. After waiting for that to dry, I then placed a couple drops of China Glaze Passion For Petals on the sheet of aluminum foil and use a medium sized dotting tool to place dots on top of the white tip. I then went back in with Revlon Color Stay Stiletto and a tiny dotting tool to paint on the outside part, surrounding the pink dot, so that it looks like a cheetah spot. I then went and added a few more spots of black surrounding the cheetah spots. Once everything was dry to the touch, I finished my manicure with a fast drying top coat of Poshe.

This was super cute! It had been a while since I had done the cheetah print and I had forgotten how cute it is. You can definitely play around with this and change up the colors to suit it to your liking. I hope you enjoyed this look and I will see you next time!

Double Hearts

Hello!!

I am super excited to share with you another awesome manicure. This week's inspiration came from another Instagram account called Nails By Cambria. This manicure requires NO nail art tools other than nail polish! For this manicure you will need a light purple nail polish, a deep berry nail polish and a pink foil nail polish.

I began with a base coat of OPI nail envy maintenance. I then did two, almost three, coats of Essie Nice is Nice. I then painted on the two "humps" of a heart, on the middle of the nail, with Sei Bella Crushed Berries. I then painted another two humps of a heart, starting just below the berry heart, with Sinful Colors Hush Money. Once it was completely dry, I finished my manicure with a fast drying top coat of Poshe.
