Spooky Gradient

Hey lovelies!

I have a spooky Halloween gradient for you guys today. Don't mind my funky looking bats lol. Keep reading to find out how I created this look.

Polish pictured Sinful Shine In The Limelight

I did the gradient using Sinful Shine In The Limelight and Sinful Colors Calypso. I started with one coat of In the Limelight as a base. I applied In the Limelight and Calypso to a latex free cosmetic wedge and rolled it onto my nails. I only did two passes on each nail.

Item #18503 and #18518

I used these brushes I bought from Bornprettystore for the details, items #18503 and #18518. Aren't they so pretty? I've used them for a few months now and they have become my favorite brushes! And I love that they come with tops. You can get your detail brushes here and here. 

With the thicker brush (top brush pictured) I went over the gradient with more polish to give it a cloudy look. I used Seche Vite top coat to smooth it out and then drew in the trees and bats with the striper brush (bottom brush pictured) and black acrylic paint. The moon was done with white acrylic paint and neon green polish to give it a glow effect. One more coat of Seche Vite followed by Salon Perfect Matte Fx top coat.

I love how these turned out!

These were originally done for some nail art challenges for the beginning of this month but I didn't get to post them until now. Hope you guys liked these!

Thank you for reading! Come back to see my next look! ;)

Bestie Twin Nails Halloween Edition

Hello there! 

Today I have some fun gradient nails to show you! I asked my lovely friend Jenny from @thedotcouture if she wanted to do some twin nails with me and lucky me she said yes! 

Here is our collage. I freaking love how they both turned out and how they look together in the collage.

Don't you?

Twin nails with @thedotcouture

Below is the inspiration t-shirt I found at Walmart in early September. As soon as I saw it I thought of Jenny. She loves Halloween so I took a photo of it along with another cute shirt and saved them so I could send them to her. I forgot to do that. So now it's October and it's time for Halloween nail art. I wanted to recreate this scene on my nails so I decided to invite Jenny to do them with me!

Jenny's solo photo. I love how hers turned out! I'm a big fan of her manis. She can make a simple mani look beautiful! If you aren't following her yet you should!

And here is my solo. I did a gradient using all Sinful Colors polishes; Let's Talk, Endless Blue and At Sea. I added a top coat and when dry I drew some tree silhouettes with black acrylic paint. I had some trouble with the skeletons. I'm not good with small details so it was tough. I waited for the paint to be fully dry and added top coat again and then one final coat of matte top coat. The next hard part was photographing it. I couldn't get the purple to show.

After taking a million pics I went with this one taken in the shade. It showed the details a bit more and all the colors in the gradient. I was very sad to take it off.

I really enjoyed doing these with Jenny. I hope we can do this again soon sometime. We hope you all love them as much as we do!
