Cool Tone Pastel Ombre

Hi!
An ombre manicure is such a great way to give yourself a quick manicure.
I had this a few days ago, I wasn't feeling like using one color but I didn't had a lot of time to do nail art.
So I decided to go with a quick ombre with glitter over it.

What I used:
Base Coat: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat.
Colors: Ciaté Paper Doll, Paris Memories 258, China Glaze For Audrey, Essie Mint Candy Apple, Models Own Ibiza Mix.
Other Products: Sponge.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.



1.Apply your base coat and white polish.

2.Apply your lavender, light blue and mint to the sponge and dab it over the white polish.

3.Paint one coat of your glitter polish over the ombre manicure.

4.Apply your topcoat.


I hope you liked it.

Street Style Nail Art

Hi!
For the last few months I have been loving the look of different styled nails in one manicure.
Especially the street style kind that looks very bold and ties different styles together.
This manicure I got from the Nailpro youtube channel, this video to be more specific.
It is a manicure that has a bold side but the roses and the lips that I painted gave this manicure also a more feminine side.
I absolutely love this manicure and I also got a ton of compliments on my nails when I wore this manicure.


Since I used a lot of products for this manicure and most of the colors are only used on one nail, I am going to show you the products per nail and tell you what I used it for.
If you follow the video I think that it should be clear how I created this manicure.

What I used for the thumb:
Base coat: China Glaze Adhesion Base Coat.
Colors: Ciaté Paper Doll, China Glaze Pink Voltage, Ruby Kisses Teal Envy, Stripe Rite 3D04, Black arcylic paint.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.


I used Paper Doll as my base and used 3D04 closest to my cuticle, Teal Envy in the middle and finished the nail with Pink Voltage on the end of the nail.
The pattern was made with the black paint, you could use polish but I prefer to work with paint.

What I used for my index finger:
Base coat: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat.
Colors: Ciaté Doll Face, Essie Natural Cotton, Black acrylic paint, Kiko 390.
Mixed colors: Red acrylic paint & Pink acrylic paint & White acrylic paint (1/2/2)
Topcoat: Seche Vite.


For this nail I used a nude base, Doll Face covered my free edge and Natural Cotton made the base color look a bit lighter and milkier.
The acrylic paints that I mixed is a carnation pink color and used that for my roses.
Kiko 390 is the color I used for the leaves and I outlined everything and made lines going down the nail with my black acrylic paint.

What I used for my middle finger:
Base coat: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat.
Colors: Ciaté Paper Doll, China Glaze Kiwi Cool-ada, White acrylic paint, Black acrylic paint.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.


This is the easiest design in this manicure.
Once again, I used Paper Doll as my base and applied Kiwi Cool-ada over that.
I used the white acrylic and black acrylic paint to make the design. 

What I used for my ring finger:
Base coat: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat.
Colors: Ciaté Paper Doll, Red acrylic paint, Black acrylic paint.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.


This nail has Paper Doll as a base and black acrylic striped going down the nail.
The lips are made with red acrylic paint and outlined with the black paint.

What I used for my pink finger:
Base Coat: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat.
Colors: Ciaté Paper Doll (not shown), Models Own Luis Lemon, White acrylic paint, Black acrylic paint.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.


This nail is exaclty the same as the middle finger only this time I used Luis Lemon to paint my nail a neon yellow instead of a neon green color.


I hope you liked it.

Easy Coral Manicure

Hi!
With my finals coming up I am wearing a lot of nail polish without nail art.
Simply because I don't have the time to do nail art.
Here is one of my latest manicures and I think that this manicure is really nice to wear with a lot of outfits and easy to adjust by using different colors.

What I used:
Base Coat: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat.
Colors: Essie Tart Deco, Kiko 628.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.



1.Apply your base coat and polish.
I chose a coral shade.

2.Make a stripe where your free edge (white part of your nail) starts with your second color.
I used a rose gold polish.

3.Apply your topcoat.


I hope you liked it.

Stamping Saturday: Scream For Ice Cream

Hi!
This manicure reminds me of a pattern that Forever21 of Primark would use for pajamas or something like that...
I know that sound weird but for some reason I keep thinking that.
Anyway, I think that this is a cute manicure for the summer.

What I used:
Base Coat: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat.
Colors: L'oreal Snow In Megeve, Paris Memories 258, W7 Sheer Blue, Ciaté Sweet Pea, Hema 810, Ciaté Baby Doll, Konad Black Pearl.
Other Products: Stamping Products, Cling Film, Essence Image Plate.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.



1.Apply your base coat and white polish.

2.Place globs of polish in random spots on the nail.

3.While the polish is still wet, you want to place the cling film over the complete nail and gently press down to blend colors. Remove the cling film as soon as your polishes have spread. Do this before your polish has dried.

4.Stamp the image multiple times onto the nail.

5.Apply your topcoat.


I hope you liked it.

Ombre Pastel Meets Tribal

Hi!
Ombre and tribal are some of my favorite kind of manicures and together they are amazing!
This manicure is once again inspired by a manicure I found on wehearit.com.
I know I have said this before but I seriously love this manicure!
The colors are perfect for spring and they work so well together.
The tribal pattern really finishes this look.
I chose for an off-white color instead of a true white color because I thought that it would be a nice change and I love it.
It is just a bit more subtle than the white (as far as a tribal pattern can be subtle).
It compliments the ombre background really nicely.

What I used:
Base Coat: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat.
Colors: Essie Mint Candy Apple, Kiko 356, Kiko 360, FolkArt 450 Parchment.
Other Products: Sponge.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.



1.Apply your base coat.
If you are working with sheer colors you want to also apply a white polish before you are going to apply your polishes.

2.I applied my color the nail just with the brush that it comes with.
This will act as a base so I won't have to use my sponge a lot.

3.Apply the colors to the sponge in the same order as you applied the colors to the nail.

4.Sponge the colors on.

5.Make the tribal pattern.
You can make any pattern you want and use any color you want, you don't have to use a paint.
I just find a paint easier to work with.

6.Apply your topcoat.



I hope you liked it.

However I never really know a good combination other than grey and white.

Colors: China Glaze For Audrey, China Glaze Midnight Kiss, Essie Dive Bar.
Other Products: Alcohol, Water bowl, Cling Film, Toothpick.

There are a ton of tutorials on this manicure so I am not going to show you how to do this manicure, since all the tutorials are the same.
I used is this video to create the manicure.

Stamping Saturday: Rose Gold Floral French

Hi!
Rose gold and white is a combination that I think is really nice.
Here is a manicure that uses that combination.
I was going to do this on my own nails but I am wearing a red polish and it will probably stain my cuticles.
That won't look cute at all!

What I used:
Colors: Sephora Cha Cha, L'oreal Snow In Megeve, Kiko 628.
Other Products: Stamping Products, Essence Image Plate.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.



1.Apply your base coat and nude polish.

2.Make a white french tip.

3.Stamp the floral image over the french tip in a rose gold color.
If you have trouble with keeping the image on the french tip, you can always mask your nail bed off with tape and remove it after your stamped that image.

4.Apply your topcoat.


I hope you liked it.
