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.

Black and blue

What's black and blue and marbled?
My nails...Lol
yes I changed my nail shape again
The best thing about this manicure is I used NO TOOLS! That's right kids I didn't use any nail art tools at all.
The polishes used are wet n wild black creme and sinful colors endless blue. I placed a blob of the the at the base of my nails then placed a blob of the blue over the other half of my nail. I wiped off any polish left on the brush and then kind of swirled the two colors together.
shorty short nails 

I pulled away as much of the excess nail polish as I could then topped them with 2 coats of my quick dry top coat.  So that is that I really like how they came out let me know what you all think.

Until next time

Tie dye nails with roses

What's better then tie dye and roses? Hello putting them together so that's just what I did. 

Using a makeup sponge I layered a pink, white, orange, white once more and a yellow polish and sponged it over one coat of white polish. I sponged over the nail twice and then added a top coat to blend the colors better.


Then on the ring finger I put on two coats of white polish and let it fully dry. Then I mixed the same colors I used for the other fingers with some polish remover and using a q-tip I made the rose shape. I finished up the roses with the polish full strength and a small nail art brush I added the detail to them. After adding the green leaves and letting it dry a it I added a layer of top coat and that's it.


Well I really hope you guys like this design as much as I do and I am 100% going to try roses again. That's all for now I will talk to you all later.

Metallic Splatter nails

Since doing my Jason Halloween nails I have been wanting to try splatter nails in another way, so I did a metallic version and here is how it came out:
 I used:
a straw cut in 4 pieces
a sliver polish
a metallic green, yellow and purple polish

So there are somethings I learned doing this manicure that I would like to share with all of you lovely people.
1) It is very very messy and is a pain in the butt to clean up
2) Use either really thin nail polish or acrylic paint
3) Blow hard
4) Make sure your straw is covered
And finally 5) IT IS VERY VERY VERY MESSY so make sure to cover your area with something you don't mind getting polish on.

All in all I will defiantly be doing this type of manicure again once I get some acrylic paints that is. Here is just one more picture of my nails:

Let me know what you all think about this look. Is it something you would try? If so what colors would you use? I would love to see if any of you do this type of manicure. Well folks that's all for now talk to you all soon.
