Cult Nails Gradient over Pop Beauty

For this mani I started off with two coats of Pop Beauty Pacific Hoot. I let that dry completely and then added striping tape to each finger. Next using a cosmetic sponge I created a gradient with Cults Nails Riot, Party Time and Time Traveler. I did three layers of the gradient and then immediately removed the tape. I just had to keep adding more so I decided to add some stamping using Pueen plate 22. I was very happy with how it looked so I added a layer of seche vite. But then I decided no let's add more to it so I then added a layer of matte top coat and now I am seriously in love!

Pinterest Inspired Stamping

I'm strongly thinking about making Pinterest manis a weekly thing or something. I have been finding so many amazing pictures of nail art there lately and it has inspired me to try to recreate them. Last week I fell in love hard with this pin. I knew I had to try it out myself since of course I am on a huge matte kick plus I already had the right stamping plate. My problem was that I dug through two helmers and found out I had nothing that was quite like China Glaze Below Deck or Joy so I had to buy them both. Luckily they both showed up on the same day even though they were from different sellers. I don't think my polish has ever came off quicker than when I opened those packages.

To recreate the pin I started off with two layers of China Glaze Below Deck. Then I added a layer of Seche Vite to protect it and topped that with a layer of Butter London matte topcoat. I let that dry for a few minutes and then using Bundle Monster plate 312 I stamped the cloud design using China Glaze Joy. I am so in love with the outcome and the tone on tone effect. It turned out just like the pin and made me one happy girl so I call this mission a success!!

NOTD Bondi Lady + NYPD

I decided to add a little bit of stamping to Lady Liberty and also test out if one of the other polishes I received from them would stamp. Plus I thought the dark blue and aqua would make a great combination and it turned out great in my opinion. NYPD stamped perfectly! The design I used came from Gals plate GA30. Then because I am on such a matte kick right now I added Bundle Monster matte topcoat. I really can't decide which one I like more so I am just going to say I really love how they both came out.

Nail Art Challenge - Glitter

For this first challenge I decided to go with Liquid Lacquer Blue Pistachio. I used to coats of this and then created stamping decals. For the birds I used Bundle Monster plate 401 and acrylic paints. I top coated everything with a layer of seche vite.
