Folk'n' Fall

Folk art inspired halloween + fall nails!
Ombre V, Stripes, small hexagonal glitter, and jewel cabochons

what i used:
O.P.I. - palm springs delight + Love & Beauty - orange for the ombre base
Kiss (striper) - neon orange +  Kiss (striper) - bronze for the "V"
Sinful Color (striper) - bad chick + Kiss (striper) - black
Orange metallic hexagonal glitter + red and black jewel cabochons.

Easter double fade

For this look I first created a color fade between two spring shades of Sinful Colors, Sinful Colors- lets talk and Sinful Colors - innocence. Lets Talk is a really nice deep purple and innocence is a nice limey green, both creme polishes. The area where they meet becomes a subdued purple grey.

Next to spice it up I created a color fade with four small sized nail hex glitters ranging from deep metallic blue (at the base of the nail) to metallic purple, then next to an iridescent lilac (where it becoes that purple grey) and finally at the tips silver hex glitters. Then added a small clear rhinestone at the tip, cuz i love them.

Happy Easter!

pink + purple ombre layered!

As i said i'm really into the layered look lately...

First the ombre: I applied two coats of American Apparel - coney island which is an awesome opaque baby pink. I then applied one layer of Sally Hansen Diamond Strength - pink promise (#06) which is a tinted baby pink sheer micro glitter, and looks awesome over pinks and other warm colors.  Next i used Love & Beauty - lavendar, Kiss - soft purple striper and O.P.I. - funky dunky to finish the pink to purple ombre.

The layered design was created using Kiss - red wine (striper)  for the outline. I then filled in random sections of the design using Nail Star -  metallic opaque silver, and Kiss - gold glitter striper.
Seche VITE - fast drying top coat .... end.

pink ombre polka dots

Hey guys,

I apologize for being so absent lately, however something so sweet just happened....So i just received a sort of care package jammed in my mailbox from a friend, she gave me 14 nail polishes that she didn't want! So amazing! they've all only been used once or twice too! (thanx Amara! :) )
One of the colors I received was the awesome barbie pink, although i don't wear pink a lot, it is my FAVORITE kind of pink, and i am constantly looking for the perfect barbie pink. Anyways So i decided that I would make an ombre using a second barbie pink! (amazing) and a darker O.P.I. magenta for the tip! This is only my second or third time doing an ombre, an i almost wish it was a more drastic color fade, NEXT TIME.

For the base color I used NYX - flash, 3-4 coats, its a dusty pink creme, that looks super plastic-like on, (i mean that in a good way, of course.) Next using a makeup sponge I added Anise - a bud for you, pink creme, also super fake looking, and really bright. I love this color! Last for the darkest part of the color fade, on the tip, i used O.P.I. - jewel of india, magenta jelly, with a really nice luster.

With the dotting tools my sister got me for christmas, I made my polka dots using Nail Star - white! 

I guess i was feeling girly today?!

thanx for stopping by.
