31 day challengeL Gradient nails

 Hi y'all! We're back again today to continue the 31 day challenge! Today's theme for the challenge is gradient nails. I wanted something bright and fun to counter act all the rain we've been having lately! I hate it as it is, but it's definitely getting old now. 

For these I decided on doing a circle gradient because.. it was a little different than the usual gradient. Plus, I've never done one before, so I also get to try something new at the same time. Fun, right? Right! 

For these I started with a base of Sinful Colors Snow Me White and then I used Broadway nails Sunflower and LA Colors in Pumpin' Pink and Flicker to do the gradient. Just painted all the colors on a make up sponge and sponged them on. I wasn't too happy with how they turned out - this technique needs a lot of practice, but I think it was okay for a first try. 

Annnd just for fun! I haven't shown you guys Valentina in a while. This is what we call a "Dead Bunny Flop" and Tina is an EXPERT at them. Imagine walking into the room and seeing that and getting no response whatsoever because bunny is in a super deep sleep. 

It's heart attack inducing. I'm not even kidding. I freak out every single time. 

Then she lifts and ear, or twitches her nose. Or her favorite, chewing or washing her face in her sleep which I guess she must be dreaming about eating or something and I take a great big deep breathe and go 'omg okay your fine' and she looks at me like 'wtf mom I was comfy and tired. now go away'

Marbles for Polish Sweet Tooth Collection!

 Hi y'all! I have some super cute polishes to share with you all today! I got these Marbles for Polish polishes sent to me to review! I was so excited to get this, they're neon AND Holo, I love all that bright and sparkly-ness in them. Perfect for summer! Unfortunetly it took me a few days to get around to playing with them due to Mister Sun hiding his head in the clouds. I am getting so tired of rain and storms. But anyways, lets get on to the review! 

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.

Striped and pattterned nails!

Hi y'all! Trying to keep up with this posting regularly trend I've got going here! I've mostly just gotta keep myself editing and writing this posted in a timely manner! I let time get away from me most of the time! Anyways, I have these.. I don't know what to call them? Stripes with a geometric print? Hmm? Any thoughts on what to call them? Anyways. I really enjoyed doing these so I hope you like them as well! 

I started this off with my base color LA Colors Meadow and then I added a strip down the middle with Sinful Colors Snow Me White before adding LA Colors Flicker on top of that! I used the white to make sure the neon yellow really *POPPED* over the teal-ish color. 

When that was dry, I took my detail brush, and I mixed a dab of black with my metalic white acrylic paint to make a silver color, then I added a zig zag pattern over the yellow, and then two stripes down the side of the thick yellow one. They were so fun! And made me sooo so ready for summer! I'm tired of this rainy and cold weather!

Summer tribal nails!

 Hi y'all! I have some super fun neon tribal print nail art for you all today! and something even a little bit crazy! I got bored and changed the shape of my nails. And I say this is crazy because I'm pretty much a creature of habit and change scares me, especially with my nails and considering i'd just gotten them to a length I'd liked. I debated over this for a while, I didn't think I'd like them and then what? I'd have to cut all the length away to get back to my square shape that I know I DO like. Thankfully though, that didn't happen. I debated over them after I did it. Do I like them? Do I hate them? Are they just okay? Well, once I painted them I was much happier with them! They look soooo much better painted than they do as naked nails this way but either way I really really like them and think they're some cute little mini claws. Click through the jump to see more! 

Neon leopard and zebra print!

 Hi y'all! Hope I didn't blind anyone with this Mani! Lol. They're so bright! I went with some simple leopard nail art with a zebra accent nail for today's look. Animal print of anything is sort of my go to look when I'm feeling stuck with coming up with anything, and these bright colors are just so summery I had to do something with them together. I think I blinded my mom with them though, she was kind of amazed at how bright they were. Though.. she did pick out the colors cause she bought them for me a few days ago. lol. So I'll blame it on her.
