Neon Quatrefoil Nails

Neon quatrefoil nails...... I mean hello that is just awesome so I had to do it.

Quatrefoil nails are really popular right now and its summer so neons are also popular right now so I just put them together.


What I used:

Black polish
White polish
Neon yellow polish
Matte top coat
Dotting tools

I started off with my base colors white on my ring finger and black on all the rest. Once my base colors were dry I started the quatrefoil design with my neon yellow 4 dots in a plus pattern, on the side of the nail I did 3 dots of black to offset the neon. Then on the other fingers I used the white for a base so the yellow would pop.



This is the simple version of the quatrefoil design. The advanced one has an outline and little lines coming out of the open corners. If you would like me to try my hand at the design then please let me know.

So what do you all think about the quatrefoil design? Do you like it? Will you try it out? Let me know down below

Jelly Sandwich manicure

I have seen all kinds of jelly sandwich manicures, mostly with glitter and designs but none using crackle nail polish. So that's what I wanted to do.



I started with an opaque color ,then using a sliver crackle I  made a diagonal line. Once dry I added one coat of my sheer or jelly polish and waited for that to dry. As soon as it was dry I added a diagonal line on the other side and waited for it to dry. When is was dry I added one more coat of my jelly polish over the whole nail then I topped it with a quick drying top coat. 


one coat of jelly
two coats of jelly.
AS you can see (hopefully) one side is more jelly then the other. It is kind of subtle but I like it that way since it was my first time trying it out. Next time I will try something a little more bold.

So tell me what you all think of this look and the whole jelly sandwich type look. I will be back in a couple days with a new manicure. Is there something you all would like to see? Let me know in the comments below.

Ttyl,

Distressed jewel tone nails



I hooked up with lizzyprosser94 on instagram to do a jewel tone look. She did a makeup look and I did nails.

Here is how mine turned out:


I started with a purple base then using the dry brush technique I randomly added gold, metallic blue and a metallic pink. To add a bit more bling I added a clear gem at the base then coated the whole nail in a nice thick quick dry top coat.


Here is how Lizzy's turned out and I will add all of her links:






I really hope you all liked this collaboration. Please let me know what you all think below. I will talk to you all soon.
