Gradient Nails

I love the way these look. I think gradient nails always look awesome. It does take awhile though since I did each color by themselves instead of like a stamp as in my Rainbow Nails. I ended up using 5 different colors.

Nail Polish used:

Base Coat: Sweet Dreams-Sinful Colors

Sponged: Renee-Julep (lavender); I Don't Bite-Sephora by OPI (Purple); Into the Night-OPI (Navy) and Starry Silver-NYC (Glitter on Tips) 

More Marble Nails

I had a little trouble with my marbling this week. For some reason my polish didn't want to disperse. Anywho here's what I came up with this week. I used My Boyfriend Scales Walls (OPI) and Call Me Gwen Ever (OPI) and Blue By! from the Sally Henson Instant Dry collection

Game of Thrones inspired nails

This past week I had a request to do Game of Thrones nail art. Well here it is...

No mess diy nails

I decided this week that I was going to try and free hand my artwork. Basically all I did was take 2 colors paint half the nail diagonally with one color and then fill in the blank with the rest. Then I took my black nail polish and created abstract lines and c's; make sure you let each coat dry in between. I then took the contrasting color and dotted in between some of the black art and finished with painting a strip of glitter down the middle. If anyone tries this or any of the other art I would love to see some photos!!!

Splatter Nails

 Since it's Saturday I decided to try the splatter technique on my nails. This technique is a little harder than most and takes a lot of time, especially to clean up.  My husband picked out the colors. :)

How I did this: First add your base color my husband chose the colors and black seemed the best for the neon to show up. I then began taping up my nails which I highly recommend cause the nail polish gets everywhere! I also did mine outside in the grass so I didn't have to worry about cleaning up a counter/table. Make sure your base coat is dry before you begin the splatter. Basically to get splatter all you do is dip a straw into your nail polish and then blow really hard into the straw. I cut my straw into fourths cause I used 4 polishes. Happy Splattering!!!

Colors Used:

Black Base Coat

Splatter Colors:

OPI Into the Night (Blue)

OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (White)

Sinful Colors Neon Melon (Yellow)

Sinful Colors Irish Green (Green)

OPI The Amazing Spiderman Collection!!!

OMG What can I say I absolutely love this collection!!! From metallic Just Spotted the Lizard and Into the Night to the glittery Number One Nemesis to the gel consistency of Call Me Gwen-Ever to the classic color Your Web Or Mine and My Boyfriend Scales Walls this collection has something for everyone! Even an awesome shatter (I had to get it seperate from the set) Shatter the Scales. I absolutely loved it!

This is the set it varies from the color shown in the bottle slightly. From thumb to pinkie finger: Just Spotted the Lizard; Number One Nemesis; Into the Night; Call Me Gwen-Ever; Your Web or Mine

The Shatter for the collection: Shatter the Scales over top Just Spotted the Lizard. I absolutely love this combination, it's surprisingly very smooth.

My Boyfriend Scales Walls nail art.  I'm not used to doing the nail art quite yet and I didn't clean up I was just excited that it worked!

Rainbow Nails!!!

This is a very simple procedure to do on your own. I started with my base coat, then used white nail polish for the base color. Choose 3 colors and paint the broad end of a make-up triangle make sure you coat it really good cause the sponge soaks it up. Then just quickly stamp your nails. I used the same sponge,  just kept repainting my sponge. I then used a thin glitter to sparkle it up. It only took me about an hour to do both hands and I taped up my nails for a quicker clean up.

What I Used:
OPI Nail Strengthener-Base Coat
OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls-White Base Color

Finger Paint Art You Kidding Me?-Pink
Sinful Colors Neon Melon-Yellow

China Glaze Prismatic Chroma Glitters

The first 2 colors from the collection I used is Full Spectrum which has a light pink base and Prism which is a purple base, although it is a little hard discerning the different colors. I do not recommend using this collection to add sparkle to a design, it's a very thick formula and in the following pictures I only used one coat. 

On the Index and ring finger it's Prism and the thumb, middle and pink its Full Spectrum.

First attempt at flame nails

This is my first attempt at doing "flame" nails. The last nail I did actually came out the best.
I used Finger Paints new Neons Beach Bound and Art you kidding me.  The sparkle on my index and middle finger is NYC Starry Silver Glitter and the glitter that is on my ring finger is China Glaze Full Spectrum. (I was only using one thin coat but Full Spectrum goes on really thick.

I only used this picture because on my thumb I did use the Finger Paint To-Teally Hot just to add more color.

Color Club Revvvolution Holographic Nails

Last week I discovered holographic 3D nail polish. I was very excited in trying Color Club's Revvvolution since it was an almost black base with the holographic. Unfortunately unless you are outside in bright sun or under very bright lights like stage lighting it just looks like black sparkle nail polish. It is very pretty in the sun though. I only used 2 coats in the following pictures.

Above picture inside the house before touchups. I was so excited to try it out.

Above picture taken outside in bright sunlight.

The thumb nail has a top coat on it and made it too shiny you couldn't see the effect.

Coming Soon

Check back next week for more reviews!!! I will have reviews of the NEW Spiderman by OPI collection; China Glaze Prismatic Chroma Glitters, and Color Club Holographic Revvvolution and Worth the Risque. Be sure to check it out!!!
