Spring Swirls

Hi there,

It's been almost a month since my last post. My computer has been temperamental. Anyways, I did this swirly design using some pastel colors for that fun spring look. because of how much I loved my Easter nails I wanted to go with a matte look again. I'm glad I did because these looked awesome!
 




I used a dotting tool to get this look. You could also use a tooth pick or thin brush. I used just polish on this design. I try not to use acrylic paint because I feel like it's cheating for some reason. I know I'm weird.

Well I hope you like.



Colors I used

Sinful Colors "Savage", "Unicorn", "Beautiful Girl"
Sally Hansen "Green with Envy"
Essie "Play Date"
China Glaze "Matte Magic"

Easter Nails

Here again this time with my Easter Nails. Since my nails aren't shaped as eggs I went with an egg pattern with a white border. I think that these are sooo Easterish. I decided to matte them out because it made them look more like an egg. I love how these came out.

Its basically a tribal print on pastels (Lines, zig zags, and dots) Super Simple.




I used acrylic paint again. The White and pink base colors are polish though. For the White I used Nina Ultra Pro "French White" and Sinful Colors "Beautiful Girl" And I used China Glaze "Matte Magic" for the top coat

Day 22: Inspired by a song

Today I was inspired by the song "Purple Rain" by Prince.
I've been wanting to do rain droplets on my nails but I just never got around to it.

First I painted my nails with a dark purple (I originally wanted to do it on black but, Purple went with today's theme) Then I added a coat of "Matte Magic". Once that was dry I got some old Seche Vite and used it to create the drops. The older SV is thicker and makes better drops that create texture. That's it!. So Simple and So Cool.

Colors I Used:

Sinful Colors :Amethyst"
China Glaze "Matte Magic"
Seche Vite Top Coat
