Spot Gradient with Water Marble Overlay

MOAR GRADIENTS!

I really forgot how much I absolutely love doing gradient manis. I've got a really fun one to share with you guys today, it's reminiscent of my Summer Neon Gradient and Watermarble but this time with a much more cool toned twist! Keep reading to see what I came up with :) 

I started off with a base of Sinful Colors Snow Me White. Then I applied some liquid latex around my nails to protect the skin and added random blobs of China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle, Sinful Colors Let's Talk, and TLLB Blue Ribbon Baby on a cosmetic sponge. I then lightly dabbed the sponge over all of my nails twice. I peeled off the liquid latex and added a layer of China Glaze Fairy Dust over each nail because it's Fairy Dust, duh. I then applied some more liquid latex around my nails for the water marble. I created the water marble with Sinful Colors Snow Me White and Maybelline Color Show Clear. I dipped each nail in, peeled off the liquid latex, and sealed them in with Seche Vite to finish the design off. 




Oh gosh I just LOVE these so much! They are so fun and the sparkle peeks through just enough when the sun shines. 

What do you guys think? Keep your eyes peeled on my instagram and youtube channel for video tutorials on this look! 

If you want a quick link to my YouTube video click HERE! Spoiler, this is a narrated video so you get to finally hear my super awkward voice!! ;) Give it a big thumbs up if you liked the video or think my voice is awkward as f@$* and if you like me then subscribe!!!

Thanks loves :)

Pastel Spot Gradient with Stamping

It's gradient time!

It's been so incredibly long since my last gradient manicure which makes me so sad because I love gradients! Truth is I ran out of my cosmetic sponges and have been way to lazy to buy more... oops T.T But I've finally got some so let's kick off what I'm sure will be a plethora of gradient designs with this fun, springy, pastel spot design with some contrasting stamping on top. 

I started off with a base of Sinful Colors Snow Me White. I then applied some liquid latex around my nails (watch out for this fun neon pink liquid latex to be available in my shop SOON!) I then took a cosmetic sponge and added splotches of Essie Nice is Nice, Lime Crime Pastelchio, Lime Crime Once In A Blue Mousse, Lime Crime Parfait Day, and Lime Crime Peaches <3 Cream. Once everything was dry I stamped over each nail with WetnWild Black Creme and Bundle Monster plate BM-721. I peeled off the liquid latex, cleaned up around my nails and applied a coat of Sech Vite to finish off this design.




I love the way that these spot gradient designs come out, so unique and each nail never looks quite the same. This design is so springy I can almost smell the fresh air... fresh air that isn't -10 degrees -_- Almost. 

I've also filmed a tutorial for this design so look for it sometime today on my Instagram account!

Thanks loves :)
