What's on My Nails Right Now

What's on my nails right now, you ask? Oh you didn't ask? Well I'm gonna tell you anyways haha. So right now I have Color Club "Blue-Ming" and an accent nail with Sally Hansen "Wet Cement" with white chevrons. I'm going to be posting a tutorial on Monday on how to do the chevrons, it's super easy and fun! I love love love this blue it's the perfect aqua, it's just so pretty. It looks really good on toes too!

And on my toes,  I don't like taking pics of my toes lol, I have Color Club "Modern Pink". I really like this color. It's way more neon in person than this picture. It's a lighter neon pink if that makes sense. The problem I have with this polish, and it might just be my bottle, is that it was really chunky and streaky. I added some thinner but that didn't really help. It's still usable but I have to be really careful with it so it's not streaky or weird looking.

( Pic of polish is from the Color Club site click here to go to the site) (also ignore the fact that these are not painted very well, I painted them late last night lol)

Nails: Matte Mermaid Sparkles

Continuing with the glitter posts! I like the look of a matte top coat over glitter, it's just so unexpected! I really loved OPI Mermaid Tears it went on so nicely in two even coats. It reminds me of China Glaze For Audrey, but more of a dusty teal. I did one coat of a multi-sized holo glitter on top, I wanted a scattered glitter look. I got the holo at Urban Outfitters on a sale table for $1! Then I put a coat of Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love. I got my Hard Candy from Walmart.

The polishes I used:

OPI- Mermaid Tears

NYX Girls- Spotlight

Hard Candy- Mate-ly In Love

Do you like the look of matte glitter?

Nails: Cherries, Dots, and Plaid OH MY!

Cherries, polka dots and plaid! These nails were really fun to do! They were a little different than what I normally do, when I do prints I usually do the print on all my nails or just an accent. I like that these had lots of different designs!

I learned how to do the cherry print from a CutePolish YouTube video, she made it so simple! Once I saw the video I knew I wanted to recreate it but slightly different. The cherries are super easy to do, you just have to make dots and then the little stems. I used my dotting tool for the dots, but you could use a nail art pen or the end of a sewing pin or even a dull pencil. For the stems I used a nail art paint brush, but again you could use a nail art pen or a tooth pick. Next I did the dots, which are self explanatory haha. Then I couldn't decide if I wanted another cherry nail or something else. I remembered a video I saw a while back on an "alternative" plaid design (I don't remember who made the video). I drew you guys a sort of tutorial/diagram on how to do the plaid, don't laugh I did it in Paint haha! One tip for the plaid is to make sure your red lines are dry before doing the white ones, because it'll turn your white lines pink if you don't wait. Hope the diagram makes sense.

I got lots of compliments on these nails, and I'd totally do them again (I don't recreate very many of my designs)! I'd say these nails are slightly advanced beginner, if you can do dots and lines you should be fine.

The polishes I used were:
OPI Natural Nail base coat
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri: Blue-Away
Wet n Wild Wild Shine: Red Red 414A
Ulta Nail Lacquer: Limelight
Ulta Nail Lacquer: Snow White
Love & Beauty Nail Art Pen & Brush: White
Kiss Nail Art Brush: Red
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
