So I know I've done something incredibly similar before, but I wanted to do another magnetic gradient and these colors just flow so nicely together. But this time, to step it up a notch, I added purple between the silver and pink. Enjoy! Tools Used:

These were inspired by a scene in Simon Pegg & Nick Frost's new movie The World's End. I think the title says it all for these nails. Tools Used:
Make-up Sponge Liner Brush Polishes Used: Red - Fright Night Claw Polis #87-0050 Voodoo Orange - Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear #150 Sun Kissed Yellow - Sally Hansen Insta-Dri #250 Lightening White acrylic paint I was stumped for ideas yet again but I had time to kill last night. After digging through Facebook, I got a little inspiration from a poster for a friend's band (pictures are at the bottom of this post) . I did these entirely with acrylic paints (except for a plain base coat). I had to go over the white and yellow twice and that caused the edges to be a little jagged and everything is pretty bumpy overall. Here they are after one coat of Seche Vite: And here they are after I decided I wasn't digging the bumpy look and added glitter to help smooth everything out and hide some of the jaggedness. They look better in person, trust me. The lighting in my bathroom is shite Tools Used: Liner brush Polishes Used: Orly Nail Defense Base Coat Acrylics Used: Blue Orange White Yellow Green Here are the 2 posters I loosely pulled my inspiration from
You might remember that I've done these before, but I got very shitty cell phone pictures. So here they are in natural light with a decent camera! I did these for a wedding I went to. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you haven't gone out and bought these polishes and tried this yet, YOU MUST! I promise you won't be disappointed. Tools Used:
Make-up Sponge Polishes Used (in order of application bottom to top): #1 Black - Orly #40484 Liquid Vinyl #2 Blue - China Glaze #1167 Want My Bawdy #3 Blue Sparkle - China Glaze #857 Dorothy Who? #4 Bright Blue Sparkle - Sinful Colors #1165 After Party Well it certainly has been a long time, hasn't it! I took a break from polish because I simply didn't have much motivation or any good ideas. But now I'm back in full force! I present to you my rainbow gradient nails. Very simple, very pretty, and subtly stunning (in my opinion). Definitely the best gradient I've done so far! Although you can't really see the pink on the other side of my thumb nail, the blend between the pink and orange was REALLY seamless. Tools Used:

Purple - Sally Hansen Hard as Nails #370 No Hard Feelings Engaging in rant about Nicole's "Luke of the Draw" (Modern Family set) in 3...2....1... Now don't get me wrong, I love love loved this polish in the bottle! The variety in sizes of the flakes and the strong contrast of the silver and black make it a very striking glitter polish. My problem with this polish, and I feel strongly enough about this to warn all of you if you haven't already figured this out for yourselves...IT DOESN'T STAY ON FOR EVEN A SINGLE DAY! I have tried prepping my nails differently before applying this polish and I have used different base coats. Even the Orly Bonder (rubberized base coat) won't keep this polish on my nails for a single day and that stuff makes polish stick like death! And of course, once it starts looking like crap (roughly a few hours later), and you want to re-do your mani, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE IT! How is it possible that this polish won't stay on your nails when you want it to and when you want it off, it sticks like glue?! I am seriously miffed. Screw you, Nicole for making such a pretty polish, that sucks so hard. |
