Negative Space White Blobbicure

Hey guys!

It's been a hot minute since a last did a blobbicure and I think it's about time I get another one up on this blog! I have to say, this may be my favorite one to date, so make sure to let me know what you guys think!

I started off by applying a thick layer of Seche Vite on my nail, while that was still dry I took Sinful Colors Snow Me White and blobbed it all over my nails. I let the polish spread and when it was dry I applied on more layer of Seche Vite to seal it all in. I also added this cute little crown to my ring finger nail!

I love this look! And I love it even more because you only need two things: top coat and white polish. That's it! No tools or anything, how much better could it get? 

Do you think this look is cool?! 

Thanks loves :) 

Reverse Stamping Negative Space

I am in La-La-La-La-LOVE!

So I wanted to try a new way to reverse stamp. I had heard that if you use a silicone mat you can work on multiple designs at once making creating these designs so much quicker! If you've ever reverse stamped before then you definitely know what I'm talking about (P-A-T-I-E-N-C-E) T.T

The verdict? Yeah it's a LOT quicker... but it definitely takes some practice, the technique is a little different. I had to redo these nails about 8 times before I finally got it right. But it was SO worth it! You'll see what I mean ;) 

I started off by picking up this honeycomb design from Bundle Monster BM-422 using Mundo De Unas White. Then I stamped it onto my silicone mat which I had already primed with a layer of top coat. Then I filled in the honeycombs, leaving the outlines blank with Color Club Over The Moon, Eternal Beauty, and Miss Bliss. I added another layer of top coat and waited for it to dry, then I used some tweezers and carefully pulled it off of the mat. I applied a base coat on my nails and popped on the design. I pressed it down firmly and removed the excess with an angled brush dipped in acetone. Finally I sealed it all in with one more layer of Seche Vite.

I know it sounds like a lot of work, and it is, but being able to work on more then one design at a time really does make it so much faster. And when you get an end result like this? So worth it.

What do you guys think? Have you tried this method for reverse stamping? Got any tips or tricks for me? 

Thanks loves :) 

Negative Space Single Chevron

I am in LOVE! 

This design is so simple and so easy and it gives such a stunning effect. I die!! 

Oh man you're just going to have to keep reading to see what I'm talking about ;)

I started off applying some single chevron nail vinyls to my bare nails, I'm using vinyls from TLLB. Then I painted over the vinyls with LynBDesigns Absolutely Absolem and quickly peeled off the vinyls before the polish was dry. I sealed it all in with some Seche Vite and the design was finished. Yes it was that easy!

I honestly can't get over how much I love these nails. The effect is just stunning and I really wish I had gotten a photo in the sun because this holographic polish is just blindingly perfect. I can't wait to do even more negative space nails soon, they really are so simple but so fascinating.

What do you guys think?

Keep an eye out on my Instagram and YouTube Channel for tutorials on this look! I will update this post when the links are available.

Thanks so much loves :) 

Primary color block negative space nails

I've been itching to do some more negative space nails and what's more fun then using some bright, bold colors?! 

I know these nails don't really look much like negative space nails, trust me I know lol. But there is a tiny little sliver of naked space between each color so I guess that counts right?! I meant to make the spaces bigger but I kept having to go back and straighten out lines and well, this happened ;) 

I started with some good old nekkid nails and then took some white acrylic paint and drew out the 'blueprint' of my design. When the paint dried I went back with OPI Big Apple Red, Sally Hansen InstaDri Lightening, Zoya Song, and China Glaze Orange Knockout. I cleaned up the lines and made sure there was still some naked nail showing through and finished off with a generous coat of Essie Good To Go. 

These nails were so fun to wear! I loved the bright primary (besides orange ;)) colors! I just wish I made the spaces a little wider but oh well, better luck next time right?! 

What's your favorite negative space manicure?

Thanks loves :) 

Negative Space: Chevron Edition

Booooo on me!

I've been such a bad little blogger :( 

I mean I have been painting my nails and taking photos I just haven't found the time to edit them and write blog posts. I got back into reading which I knew was a bad idea because I love reading and I knew it would suck all my blogging time up but hey, I'm weak I couldn't resist LOL! Now it seems that I've caught a bit of a cold, I've been taking my vitamins and eating oranges like it ain't nobody's business so hopefully I can kick it's butt ;) Not that I want to bore you with the details of my life but I figured you all deserved an explanation as to why I've been absent.

Anyways, I've been loving on negative space nails lately and I had an idea that I really wanted to try out and after 3 hours and countless swears it finally came out the way I envisioned it! 

I started with a base coat of OPI Nail Envy on all of my nails. Then I went back with Wet'n'Wild Black Creme, Color Club Beyond, and Color Club Eternal Beauty and created a chevron-esque design, making sure to leave a tiny bit of space between colors so that my natural nail could shine through. I used 3 coats of Poshe top coat to get a smooth finish... although I could have used a fourth I think ;) 

I love these so much right now! I was seriously upset to take them off but hey, after 5 days they were all chipped and gross I had no choice -_-

What do you think? I think I'm going to try to do some more negative space nails in the near future so keep your eyes open for some more!

Thanks loves :)
