Mani swap with @wifatalons

Hello my friends!

It's mani swap time! I had the chance to do a mani swap with the talented @wifatalons from Instagram. I love her manis and I love her! I had a hard time choosing especially since I had to do the mani on my cindy hand. A corner of my index nail broke on my left hand and looks awkward now. Anyway I don't think it turned out too bad.

Take a look at the collage.

I love the mani she picked and how the collage turned out.

My son loves cars so I've been wanting to use that stamp for a while. I'm sure I'll use it again soon. He loved seeing cars on my nails! My stamping didn't turn out as opaque as I hoped but I still liked this.

Items used:

Sinful Colors- No Text Red

Shinespark Polish- Gilded Rose 

Salon Perfect- Oil Slick

Seche Vite Fast Dry top coat

BPL-022

I did two coats of No Text Red followed by one coat of Gilded Rose. I waited a bit for my base to be dry and then stamped the image one nail at a time cleaning the stamping plate after each stamp. Top coated and cleaned up around my cuticules with a brush dipped in acetone. I finished up by applying my favorite cuticule oil from Morning.star.nails

And that's it. I hope you guys liked this month's mani swap. Thank you for reading! Happy polishing ;)

Stamping on Cindy

Hi guys!

I have a special guest today. Meet Cindy, she's behind all the pretty manis you see here. She finally has the spotlight on her because she gets very neglected.

This week's prompt for #twinsietuesdaynailart on Instagram hosted by @99probsbutmynailsaint1 is to show Cindy (the hand that does all the work and never gets any love). 

Mine is pretty rough. My nails are always breaking so they're shorter than on my left hand and sadly they're peeling. My clean up still needs some work too. And can I just say how hard it is to pose and photograph this hand is!

Pet'la plate Romance

For this look I was inspired by a wallpaper found on Pinterest (pictured below). It reminded me of a Pet'la plate I have, Romance. 

I did a black base of Salon Perfect Oil Slick then stamped with MPolish Pish Plashin' Around and Dancing in the Streets. Topped it off with Seche Vite top coat.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post. Thanks for reading :)

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! ;)
