As always I started off with a base coat. Then I painted my accent nails, and tips with the neon pink. Then I went over the accent nails with the pink glitter. I used the nail art brush and black acrylic paint to paint the vertical lines. Then I applied a thin coat of my favorite top coat to my accent nails and applied the rhinestones while the top coat was still wet. Finished up my applying the top coat to all my remaining nails. Them, cleaned up the design with a paint brush dipped in nail polish remover.

Then using the white acrylic paint and a detail brush I outlined the color stripe. Then I used the large hexogonal glitters from dazzle me I placed them one by one with a dotting tool up the center of the coral stripe.

NOTD: Purple Gradient Nails

Happy Monday, everyone! I know Monday isn't everyone's favorite day of the week. So, I'm trying to do my part to make your Monday a little bit better with a new blog post. Today's post is a NOTD(nails of the day). I was feeling a little lazy when I did these, so they are pretty simple. It's a purple gradient glitter. I hope you like them, and give them a shot. I have a tutorial on gradient glitter nails already, if you want to check it out. When I have a working video camera, I will do a video tutorial on them, as well. I hope your Monday is going well, and find this post as a little break from the Monday blues. Don't forget to like me on Facebook if you want to see what I'm up to. Follow me on Instagram for lots of pictures from my life.
Have a blessed Monday,







Products used:
Base coat: 3 Minute Artificials
Light Purple: Sally Hansen, Lacey Lilac 
Sheer Glitter: Revlon Sweet Nothings, Satin Sheets
Chunky Purple glitter: Pure Ice, Darkside
Top coat: Sally Hansen, Insta Dry
1 Cosmetic Wedge Sponge
__________________________________________________



I started by painting my nails with a base coat. Next, I painted them in a light purple. When that dried, I painted a thin coat of a sheer fine glitter. The sheer fine glitter helps the gradient effect look like it carries all the way down the nail. Then, I used the cosmetic wedge to sponge the purple glitter onto the tips of my nails. I let that dry, and used my current favorite top coat. Lastly, I used a paint brush dipped in nail polish remover to clean up any nail polish that got on my skin.

Neon Pink and White stripes, Nail Tutorial

Hello everyone! I'm happy to bring you another nail tutorial this morning! Today's tutorial is so simple, I think anyone could do it. So, let's get into it!



If you want to see how I created this design, keep reading!

Products used:
Base coat: Nail-aid, 3 minute artificials
Neon Pink: L.A. Colors, Pink bubbles
Bright Pink glitter: Sinful colors, Pinky Glitter 
White striper: Art Deco, White
Silver glitter striper: Silver glitter
Top coat: Sally Hansen, Insta dry

Step 1: Like always, start with clean dry nails, and apply your favorite base coat. Base coats, keep your nail polish from staining your nails, and also help prevent chipping. Don't forget, to go along your nails free edge with every coat of polish you apply. The free edge is the very tip of your nail. This also helps keep your nail polish from chipping.

Step 2: Pick any color of your choice, I chose a neon pink. Pick 1 or 2 nails that you want to be your accent nails. Then on the accent nails, paint the entire nail. Next, just paint the tips of all the other nails. Wait for your nails to dry for a couple minutes before you move on to the next step.

                       Don't forget your free edge :-)

Step 3: Pink a glitter polish that coordinates with the color you picked. I used a bright pink glitter. Paint you accent nails with the glitter polish. If you want you can paint the tips as well, but I like the accent nails to really pop.

Step 4: Using a nail striper, or a detail brush and paint in the color of your choice, carefully paint stripes on your tips. You can do the lines however you'd like. You can do thin or thick lines. You can even do lines in more than one color. I used a white nail striper, and kept my lines on the thin side. Let your nails dry for a couple minutes before moving on to the next step.

Step 5: Using a nail striper, paint a thin line at the base of your tips. I think this gives your nails a clean and more professional look to them. I used a silver glitter striper. (if you haven't noticed that is my favorite striper to use when i do tips lol) Let your nails dry for a little bit longer before you move to the next step.

Step 6: Apply your favorite top coat, and use a cotton bud or paint brush dipped in nail polish remover to remove any polish that may have gotten on your skin.

That's it, you're done! See how simple that was!
