Vertical Gradient Leopard Print – Cheeky Jumbo Wild at Heart
Hello Beauties! I’ve been thinking about doing a leopard print manicure for a while. I’ve seen a couple free-hand tutorials (shimmyshimmySHIMMER, Andrea Konecki, love4creativity) and wanted to do something with an image stamp. I went back and forth on what the base color would be, and then I think I saw something in a magazine with […]
Nail Art Lessons of the Week – 16 Jun 2013
Hello Beauties! It’s been a good week of manicures. I thought I would share my lessons of the week: Shimmer polishes are more difficult to get off your skin then cream polishes. I use a lot of shimmers, and I notice that when I’m cleaning up my cuticle, it really takes a lot to get […]
Shout Out to Dad’s – Winstonia Plates 103 &107 and Konad M48
Hello Beauties! I’ve been thinking about what to do for Father’s Day. I wanted to do a manicure that honored fathers. I’ve been scouring my image plates for weeks and really didn’t find anything that really sang for me. So instead, I decided to pay homage to my own father. This one’s for you, Daddy! […]
Big Stick Gradient Heart Art Manicure – Bundle Monster Plate 317
Hello Beauties! This week’s manicure was inspired by eunique nails’ video tutorial and my desire to work with cream polishes. In her tutorial, she created a rainbow gradient under the water marbling. I wanted to do something similar, of course, using the colors in my color palette. Most of my gradients have been done using […]
Nail Art: Pueen Love Elements Plate 41
Hello Beauties! I had a bit of travel for work this week. My nails sorely needed a new manicure, but I had no time. I took my polish off late Thursday when I returned from Phoenix (such nice people in Phoenix!), then got up early Friday morning and did a quick polish change with Zoya […]
Nail Art Lessons of the Week
Hello beauties! Since I’m learning so much from my explorations, I thought it would be a good idea to share some of my lessons with you. From the shades of brown tile gradient manicure, I learned that different color qualities will have an impact on your finished product. For example, three of the four colors […]
Shades of Brown Tile Gradient Nails
Hello Beauties! I was really excited to try this week’s manicure. If you’ve listened to my style journey, you know that I only wear colors in my color palate: browns, oranges, greens, yellow/gold, etc. I saw this rainbow ombre and thought I could do something with that in my color palate. So here’s what I […]
Memorial Day Manicure Take Two: Bundle Monster Plate 321
Ok, maybe my colleagues are right. Maybe I have lost my mind. Or maybe I’ve gone nuts for nails! I re-did my Memorial Day manicure last night. (Do you do that? ) I was convinced I could do a better job, and I made a couple different choices. See my first attempt here. First, I […]
Memorial Day Manicure: Bundle Monster Plate 321
Hello Beauties! Today is Memorial Day in the US, the day we honor those who have given their lives for their country. I thought I would pay tribute with a Memorial Day-inspired manicure. Being the Beauty Novice that I am, it turned out to be quite an adventure! I used Borghese Espresso Brown for the […]
Nail art: Bundle Monster Plate 310
I hear some women can do a polish change in about 20 minutes. Not so for the novice! The color scheme on my latest manicure is similar to my last manicure. I guess I’m partial to the dark green/gold combination. I used China Glaze Westside Warrior for my background color, with China Glaze Midnight Kiss […]
