Easter Nail art!

Hi y'all! I'm actually back again in a timely manner! I totally try I promise! I get behind because I really want to get my school done and it's all online so I could work on it all day every day if I want to. So everytime I go to write up a blog post I'm thinking, "But I could be doing school work. I should be doing school work." and then I forget all about getting the post together because I start in on some math, or some other sort of school stuff and oh well. More important than blogging right? 

Anyways. I wanted to do some cute Easter nails for the holiday sunday, so I put these together and I'm sitting here writing this post while I take a break from school stuff and give my nails some much needed TLC. The base color on these is Sinful Colors Curry Up with Pink Forever as the accent color. I did the bunny and the carrots and dots with acrylic paint and a tiny little detail brush.

Rose nail practice, and I'm back! Again!

Hi y'all! I'm back again! I'm so sorry I disappeared but I guess life happened. I've been hard at work on my school because I am determined to get my diploma so I can go to school to be a nail tech. DETERMINED. There's also been some stuff that's happened in the last couple months that's made things a little crazy. But I sat down tonight and decided to practice some roses because I was bored and it's something I need to work on, so I thought I'd share it here. I'll show some more and explain a little more about where I've been after the jump! 

Watermelon nail art! + Bornprettystore brush review!

Hi y'all! I know I haven't been posting a lot, this is due to a LOT of nail breaks. Everytime I get them grown out a little or almost all even again, another one breaks. But, just this past sunday I've started taking Biotin and cut them all down even with the shortest one in hopes that they will grow out healthier. Maybe they just needed a fresh start! 

Anyways, these are my little nubbins now, I did some cute summer nail art with some press samples I've recieved lately! (I'll have a full swatch and review of the sally hansen ones as soon as I can. I'm trying to get a little more length first) 

I did these with a base coat of Sally Hansen Vandal Eyes and I used acrylic paints in pink, green, and black for the other details which were painted using a brush sent to me by bornprettystore! The brush is AMAZING! no seriously, if you're into nail art, and more on the advanced side of it, you should invest in one of these brushes (Or maybe ten so you have backups just in case.) I love it so much! And it's such a neat little tool! Comes in a package all nice and neat and has this nice little lid that goes over it like a pen to keep the brush from getting ruined from improper storage or just accidently setting it the wrong way or.. whatever! It's sooooo perfect! And it's so so tiny, even more so that I thought it would be when I picked it. So definitely pick one up if you love doing highly detailed designed with teeny tiny little pieces!  

You can get your very own for just $5.98 right here!

Neon Tribal Gradient!

Hi y'all! I've got some tribal neon gradients to share with you all today! These were super simple and fun to do! Please just exuse the rabbit fur in the picture - I didn't realize it was even there until I was editing just a second or so before writing this up. The joys or our awesome furkids, right? I know some of you have cats and have the same problem with the fur. 

Anyways, these were wasy to do, you just need a make up sponge and your four colors of choice for the background. I chose to use neons, but you can use pastels or whatever you want if you don't like such a bright look. 

For mine, I used two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White to start with and when that was dry I used a damp make up sponge and painted on my four colors in the areas I wanted each. I used Broadway Nails Sun Flower and Sour Apple (Orange and Green) and LA Colors Pumpin' Pink and Flicker (pink and yellow) for this look. But any neons you want would work the same! If you're using neons though, you def want a white underneath to make them really pop. 

After I had my gradient built up to a nice opacity and looking the way I wanted it too, I cleaned up around my nails, then took my detail brush and black acrylic paint and did some simple lines to make a tribal look over the background. You could leave it as is with just gradient as well if you'd like, but that was too boring for my taste personally, and also, I like that the black design kinda brings the brightness down a little bit.
