Spray Paint? (Easy)


I love this look, and it was super easy. The green is Delight by Spa Ritual and the purple is Dream on by Sinful Colors. I just painted a base of Delight on four nails then took a makeup sponge and lightly dabbed on the Dream On to create a sort of spray paint effect. It looks cool at that point, but the top coat really makes it. This design looks awesome in any color combination. I tried a red and orange and it gave a really nice fiery look.

Flower Power

These are my cousin's nails. She wanted something like my "Spring Has Sprung" nails. I decided to give her a more colorful version and started with a base of Sally Hansen Blew Me Away. I made the flowers with white acrylic paint and Ulta Capri Coral. Top coat of Seche Vite!

All That Glitters


Tribal/aztec print today. I decided to make a more lux version of the tribal prints I've tried before. I started with a base of Essie Little Brown Dress. The more glittery gold is Mira Hi-Shine (which has been discontinued, sorry), the gold is OPI Curry Up Don't Be Late, and the green is Spa Ritual Delight. I topped it off with Seche Vite.

Sorry Charlie




Our spring show is You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, so I decided to do a few of the costumes on my nails! On my thumb I have Charlie Brown. To do this, I used a base of Seche Clear, then put a little circle reinforcement sticker for ring binders on the bottom of my nail to make sure the polish didn't go there, then I painted the whole nail with Nina Like Butta. After letting that dry I drew the squiggles on with Sally Hansen Black. On my pointer finger I have little Sally Brown. I used the reinforcements again to make the negative moon, then painted the nail  with Spa Ritual Swept Away and made dots with China Glaze White on White. For Lucy van Pelt, I couldn't find my royal blue polish, so I actually used Ultramarine Blue acrylic paint, again using the reinforcements, and the color is China Glaze White on White. My ring finger is Charles Schulz' signature confined in a black box sort of like a comic strip cell. I used China Glaze White on White and Sally Hansen Black. I freehanded the negative space on Peppermint Patty, my little finger, using Art Deco Bright Green and did the detail in Sally Hansen Black. I used Seche Vite top coat on all my nails, as always.
