Antique Nails

3/17/2013

I came across these two polishes that look just fantastic with each other so I decided to play around with them and my stamps.  The end result looks almost like a patina or antique sort of feel.  What are your thoughts?

Cherry Blossoms

I was very tempted to do another gradient today, but I figured I'd give you all something a little different.  I landed on cherry blossoms.  I realized I had the perfect green and figured, why not!

New Gradient Nails

1/30/2013

Okay, so it's actually been a while since I've done my nails.  Shocking, I know.  Even more shocking is that I did such a simple design for my first REAL blog entry!  Well, I decided to do a gradient because I wanted to see how these colors blended together, I didn't have much time, and it was easy.  Gradients are actually really easy to do, you just have to learn that less is more.  I'll show how to do a gradient in the tutorial section soon.

Fun Fact: This manicure is 4 days old in the picture and both are actually just my pinky finger because all my other nails were already pretty chipped.

Polishes Used:
1st coat (purple/black) - Sally Hansen Diamond Strength #470 Black Tie
2nd Coat (teal shimmer) - Essie #744 Trophy Wife
3rd coat (teal glitter) - Orly #40081 Halley's Comet

These colors actually blended together much nicer than I thought they would because the dark base actually has just a hint of green shimmer.

    About Bailey

    I'm 29 years old and I just moved to New York City with my boyfriend and little monster dog.  I've been doing nail art off and on since I was a kid...that's about 17 years!  But I really got back to it about 3 years ago. 
    As you can probably tell, my inspiration comes from my love of TV shows, movies, games, and other miscellaneous pop culture.
