Don't Be a Beach, Go to One!

Hey guys! Here's a quick little design I did to try out a new technique.

The base for all my nails was Cocktails & Coconuts from Essie. I used white acrylic to paint the lettering on my ring finger. For my other nails, I sponged on a gradient of Cocktails & Coconuts, Blue Away from Sally Hansen, That's What I Mint from Essence and Shower Together from China Glaze. I then used a water marbling technique with Sure Thing from Revlon to create the waves/water reflections.

I absolutely love how this turned out and I will definitely be trying it again!

Hope you guys enjoy!

I'm Really A Mermaid

Hey guys! Here's a quick mermaid scale mani I did a couple weeks ago!

The base for all of my nails was Deviantly Daring. On my middle finger, thumb and pinkie, I sponged on some of Frostbite from China Glaze along one side of the nails, On my pointer finger and ring finger, I sponged on Slate Park from Sally Hansen along one side. I then put pieces of glitter from Luxe and Lush from China Glaze onto my nails, and then drew on the scales using black acrylic.

Here's a nice close up with some water droplets to really bring out the holographic effect.

Hope you guys enjoy! 

Take Me To The Sea

The weather is starting to get warmer here in Southern Ontario, and after a total of 2 days warm enough for shorts wearing, I am wishing for summer more than ever. And that's what inspired this design.

The base is Pool Party from China Glaze, then I painted on the anchor and words with white acrylic. So this colour is actually more of a neon pink, but for some reason, no matter what I did, the camera picked it up more as an orange. Oh well. It's bright and summery, and that's all that matters.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy, and I also hope the weather is warmer where you are!!

By The Sea...

Hey guys! Back again. Two days in a row posting! Woo! Here's my current manicure.

I've been wanting to do nautical nails for a while, and I just haven't gotten around to it until now. The red is Gypsy Queen from Misa along with one coat of Wocka Wocka from OPI. The blue is Yoga-Ta Get This Blue from OPI and the white is a white striper. It was actually a super simple mani, but it looks really cute! Enjoy!
