Bubbly Jo is in the House!

THANK GOD IT'S SATURDAY!

Damn sometimes the work week just feels so long! But the weekend is finally here and I'm welcoming it in with these super cute pink and holo bubbly nails!

I started off with a base of Bear Pawlish Peek A Boo! (<3) When it was dry I applied some Bubble Stencils from Stick It! Nail Vinyls and sponged over then with H&M Jo is in the House. I peeled off the stencils and sealed it all in with a layer of Seche Vite and that was it! 

Pink, sparkle, holo... what more could I ever want?! I am so in love with these! (and yes I'm aware I say that for almost every mani ;)) But I am really happy with how well the stencils worked with sponging glitter over them, the images transferred beautifully!

What do you guys think?

Thanks loves :) 

Bubbly, bubbly, bubbly

Hi guys! 

I was trying out some new vinyls from Stick It! Nail Vinyls and I was so excited to use these bubble ones. Whenever I think about bubbles I think about Finding Nemo... am I the only one? LOL Anyways, I really love this combination, check it out and let me know what you think!

I started off with a base of Goombay Girl Holy Holo and added a layer of Seche Vite to speed up the drying process. Then I placed the bubble vinyls from Stick It! Nail Vinyls on my index, middle, and pinky and painted over them with China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise. I quickly and carefully peeled the vinyls off while the polish was still wet and sealed them in with one more layer of Seche Vite. One my ring I added two coats of H&M Jo Is In The House and sealed it in with a layer of Seche Vite. 

This combination is so fun! I've been really loving turquoise and mint polishes lately so this is just perfect ;) 

What do you guys think?

Neon Holographic Glitter Gradient Nails

NEONNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

Neon and holographic glitter = everything I need in life. The end. Kthnxbye. 

I mean honestly though I actually think I cried a little taking these nails off because they were SO DAMN PRETTY. The pictures don't do the holographic glitter nearly enough justice, but you can see how sparkly and gorgeous it is in my tutorial vides with will be up later ;)

Let's get this thing started!

I started with a base of China Glaze Pool Party, my absolute favorite neon pink polish. When it was dry I applied some liquid latex around my nails and created the glitter gradient by applying H&M Jo Is In The House on a cosmetic sponge and spongeing it on my nails. When I was happy with the gradient I peeled off the liquid latex and sealed the design in with a generous layer of Seche Vite. To finish off the design I added a rhinestone to each nail. 

Like seriously though, did you see that macro?! I die! I know I'm being dramatic but I'm serious guys these nails were everything I've ever dreamed about and more! I think I need to recreate this look with every neon polish I own, wouldn't that make a fun collage?! 

What do you think guys?

Rainbow Pastel Half Moon Nails

Hey guys! 

I'm so happy that I'm getting back into doing gradients. I really wish I didn't wait so long to go out and buy more cosmetic sponges because I honestly forgot how much I loved this technique. It's so versatile, there are so many different things you can do, radial gradients, vertical, horizontal, spot. The list goes on! I'm sure I'm probably boring you guys with my rambling so let's get on with the real reason you guys are here... NAILS!

Okay I started this look off by applying hole reinforcement stickers at the top of your nails near the cuticle. Then I placed a piece of tape over the small hole in the stickers so that no polish would leak through there. Then I applied my polishes to my cosmetic sponge to create the gradients. The colors I used were: Essie Boom Boom Room, Lime Crime Peaches <3 Cream, Lime Crime Crema De Limon, OPI You're Way Outta Lime, and Essie Rock The Boat. I sponged on the gradients, peeled off the stickers and applied a layer of H&M Jo is in the House over just the gradients. Then I outlined the top of the half moons with OPI This Gown Needs A Crown. I sealed all of that in with a coat of Seche Vite and finally added a heart rhinestone to each nail.  

These took FOREVER! But it was so worth it because I'm obsessed with the outcome! It's so girly and sparkly and just so many things that I love. They make me think of spring time and warmer weather and right now that's just what I need ;)
