Glitter gradient manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a manicure inspired by Lucy's Stash' tutorial.

I started with two coats of Essie -Going Incognito and then, using the technique

in the video, I created the gold glitter gradient. For this I used Deborah Lippmann 

-Boom Boom Pow. This nail art is very easy to do and it's eye catchy, too. I didn't
use any clear top coat after applying the glitter. This manicure makes me think
about Christmas and I would definitely recommend you to wear this combination
of colours for the holiday. What do you think?

Home made nail stickers TUTORIAL: Mustache manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my first attempt to home made nail stickers. They are very easy to 

do and are very helpful when you want wear designs you can't paint directly on the nails.

As I've tried several times to paint mustaches on my nails and I failed each time, I 

thought this might be the perfect design to stick. Now, into the tutorial:

Tools needed: 

-a plastic bag

-clear nail polish

-one or more coloured nail polishes for the design

-tweezers

Procedure:

1. Put the plastic bag on a still stand, in order that you can easily paint your design.

2. Paint rectangles using clear nail polish and allow them to dry for a few hours. I made 

more then ten, just in case I would spoil some of them when peeling them off.

3. After they have completely dried, paint the desired image on the rectangles. Use

any thin brushes, dotting tools, toothpicks you have to create a beautiful design to stick

on the nails.

4. Gently peel the strips off the plastic bag using tweezers.

5. Apply a base colour on each nail, and while it is still wet, stick the design. 

6. Remove the excess strip using scissors, nail clippers of a nail file.

7. Use top coat to protect your manicure.

For the base colour, I used two coats of Illamasqua -Scorch and then I applied a

coat of Deborah Lippmann -Boom Boom Pow. This is the final result. 

What do you think? Have you ever created your own home made stickers?

Hi,

Today I'll show you an animal print gradient manicure and the tutorial.

Here's the final look:

I started with two coats of piCture pOlish - Marine and over it I applied Jolfin - Blanc

diagonal, using a sponge. After I applied Zoya - Malia using the same technique.

Then I applied Deborah Lippmann - Today was a fairytale, which fits the design perfectly.

I stamped the leopard design from Konad m57 image plate using Konad Special Black.

I finished with a clear top coat. You can see the final result in the first pictures.

I stamped the flowers from 57 with special white.
