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:

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 So I thought to make up for my long absence, I'd post one more set! I wanted to use some summer colors to cheer myself up since Minnesota is being continuously dumped with snow. I figured I hadn't done a cloud mani in a while, and these colors were perfect for it! This is the one I'm currently wearing and the picture was taken 2 days after I painted them WITHOUT a top coat. I know I know! How dare I NOT use Seche Vite! My only reasoning is I was feeling particularly lazy that night. Deal with it :P Polishes Used:
Orange - Sally Hansen X-treme Wear #150 Sun Kissed White - Sinful Colors #101 Snow Me White Blue - Sally Hansen X-treme Wear #130 Blue Me Away Aaand I'm back! It's been FOREVER since I've posted new nails, and for that I apologize. I recently bought my first house and a week later I took a 4-day road trip to Dollywood (yes, that is Dolly Parton's amusement park and it was wonderful). So needless to say, my nails haven't quite been my top priority as of late. The day I bought the house, I quickly painted my nails with China Glaze Dorothy Who with a splash of Sinful Colors After Party on the tips. It was a very bright sparkle with just a hint of a gradient and that mani lasted TWO WEEKS before it was noticeably chipped! I was amazed. So to get back into the swing of things and to practice my mani for a friend's wedding in Des Moines this weekend, I did these wing-type nails. Fun Fact: If you're going to replicate this mani, put the glitter on first and then paint the wings with a fine liner brush. Tools Used:
Liner brush Polishes Used: Glitter - Sally Hansen #120 Diamonds White - Sinful Colors #101 Snow Me White Silver - Sally Hansen #220 Celeb City Black - Orly Artistic Liner Black I couldn't decide what to do with my nails on this lazy Sunday afternoon when my eyes drifted over to the salt & pepper shakers I brought back from Amsterdam and BOOM! Inspiration! It's quite fitting too since I've been missing Amsterdam as of late. ...Now I just hope that the people at work don't think they are "XXX" porn nails. Tools Used:
Liner Brush Polishes Used: Red - Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure #570 Right Said Red Black - Orly #40484 Liquid Vinyl White acrylic paint You may notice that these are not my hands - they are my sisters. She had an old mani that she wanted me to freshen up with some stamping. I obliged on the condition that she bathed my dog. With my dog clean and tearing around the apartment like a spaz, I started stamping! We originally wanted to try the new OPI I bought "A Woman's Prague-Ative" - it's a bright, shimmery, lava-like orange, but sadly it didn't show up too well over the greens. So with that idea dead, we decided to just alternate the colors she already had. The results were great! After the stamping, we added a glitter coat to tie it all together. Tools Used:

I wanted to do a slightly more complicated gradient for St. Patty's Day, but looking back on them, I wish I had used more dark greens. Oh well, there's always next year! Tools Used:

I wanted to add a bit of sparkle to these as well, but I didn't want it to over-power the flowers, so I painted on the sparkle layer BEFORE I did the flowers. Polishes Used:
Blue - Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear #420 Pacific Blue Sparkle - Sally Hansen Diamond Strength #120 Diamonds White, yellow, lilac, brown acrylic paint Sorry it's been a while since I've posted, but I've been a bit busy and lazy. So, this was actually part of a Game-Night set I did for a friend's birthday party, but sadly the rest of the game themed nails chipped too badly before I could get a picture of them. But at least my favorite survived! In case you're curious, the other games represented were backgammon, Sorry!, Twister, and chess. Polishes Used:
