Pink Gradient

Hiya Dolls!

I've got a quick gradient mani to show you today. I used the sponging gradient method with China Glaze Something Sweet and Surreal Appeal. I had to do four coats to get the coverage I wanted. Next time I will do a base coat of white or nude, that should help. A layer of my fave topcoat NYC Grand Central Station, smoothed everything out nicely.

Summer Mani

Hey Dolls

I've got a fun Summer mani for you today! I love spicing up a pretty cream with an accent nail, and I'm also loving the multi-color mani's too, so today you get both!

That beautiful coral is China Glaze Surreal Appeal. The white is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (which is my favorite white ever!) and the glitter accent is OPI Bring On The Bling. I love these colors together.

Twinsie Tuesday, Marching Orders

This week for Twinsie Tuesday, we were given a challenge from another Twinsie member. My challenge comes from Rachel of Top Coat It She suggested that I challenge myself and try something that is out of my comfort zone. So for me that would be nail art (which is funny because Rachel is always rocking some amazing nail art!)

I've wanted to try a chevron look for a long time, so this was my opportunity to be forced to give it a go!

I used China Glaze Surreal Appeal for my base coat. I love this pinky-coral cream. And I used a gold nail art polish given to me by the lovely Amanda from Amandalandish I cute some washi tape using some small chevron patterned scissors and taped off the area I wanted to be gold. Really wishing that I had made the gold area bigger now, but oh well, there is always next time ;)
