Neon Galaxy

Hey all so its a new day and a new manicure I hope you all enjoy this one because I know I do.


So I started this manicure with a white base to  make the neon colors pop better. I used Daredevil by Sinful colors over all my nails but my ring finger on that finger I used Nina ultra pro in Solar flare. Once dry I used a make sponge and dabbed on some white in random places on my nail. Then on the pink nails I used the neon yellow and sponged it over the white and a little bit on the pink to get an orange color. Then on the yellow I did the same thing using the pink.

After sponging and blending I topped with Orly shine on crazy diamond. Then using a white stripper I added some dots and star shapes and then topped them all off with a qdtc (quick dry top coat). I cleaned up and that's it all done. 

I wanted this to be super easy so I only used 3 colors the glitter is optional and so are the white dots and star shapes. I really like how this turned out and I can't wait to try out Pastel galaxy nails. let me know what you all think in the comments below and if you try then out I would like to see them.

Ttyl,

Braided Nail

Hey all I know it has been about a month and a half since I posted but...you know life happens and I started a food blog and I also started knitting again which lead me to open an online store. So you know I've been super busy :-)

Anyway I am going to do my best to post more once or twice a week. But I am back with this super cute and easy manicure.

I used Wetnwild megalast polishes in I need and refresh Mint, On a trip and Wet cement. The only tool I used was a large dotting tool and the polish brush it self. Now if you don't have a dotting tool don't fret you can use a bobby pin, an old dried up ink pin, a pencil eraser or even the end of a makeup brush.


On my ring finger I started out with a coat of On a trip, then on a slight angle I added I need a Refresh Mint, on the other side under that I added a strip of Wet Cement and so on intil I ran out of nail. I let that dry as I painted the rest on my nails with two coats of Wet cement. Then using my large dotting tool I placed a big dot and little dot at the base of my nail. Once they were all slightly dry I added a layer of top coat ,cleaned up the sides and thats it.


I really love this manicure it tured out really nice and I hope you all like it too. Ttyl,
