Plastic Wrap Mani

Hey guys!

I tried out the plastic wrap technique and it wasn't a total success. If you haven't seen any manicures done like this, the process is pretty simple. All you need is two or more different nail polish and plastic wrap (yes, that stuff you use to wrap your leftover food up in). First paint your nails like normal and let them dry completely. Make sure you have little pieces of plastic wrap ready to use, roughly 2 inches by 2 inches. After your nails are dried, paint only one nail at a time and before it dries, crinkle your piece of plastic wrap and light dab off the still wet polish, wait for that to dry and apply our top coat! It's a pretty simple process. Where I messed up was my color selection, as you'll see. The colors I used were OPI Purple with Purpose and Zoya Reece.

It didn't turn out badly, it just didn't turn out as well as I hoped. If Reece was more opaque it would have been better I think. I thought about doing another color on top but in the end I didn't. It's definitely a technique I will do again! Hope you guys enjoyed!

Havana Nights

Hey guys!

Color blocking is all over the place right now, nail polish trends included! It's pretty simple to do as long as you have some tape and a little bit of time. To achieve my nice straight lines I just used regular scotch tape and made sure to wait long enough between each color to make sure they were dry before I applied the tape.

The colors I used from left to right are Read My Palm, Teal We Meet Again, and Rumba Romance all from Sephora by OPI's Havana Nights collection. I LOVE this whole collection, especially these three colors together.

Hope you guys enjoyed!

Hope you guys enjoyed and are having a great summer so far!

Slanted French Tip

Hey guys!

I've got a multi-colored, slanted french tip for you today. As I've said before, I'm not a huge fan of french tips but this one is a bit of a twist. I used 3 different base coats, Blue Grotto from Sephora by OPI, Caliente Romance from Sephora by OPI, and Fuchsia from China Glaze. I used White Cap from China Glaze for the french tip.

A simple twist on a classic look, hope you enjoyed!

Barbie Pink!

Hey guys!

This past weekend, my boyfriend and I had a wedding to go to so of course once I decided on what dress I was wearing, I had to figure out what to do with my nails! I waned something girly and pretty and simple. As I was looking through my polish I found Play the Peonies from OPI but I wanted more that just that beautiful light pearly pink so I went looking in my glitters to see if I could find anything that would go well. I found a glittery pink top coat from Forever21.

It turned out perfect! It changed Play the Peonies just enough (click here to see Play the Peonies by itself). As you can see, the top coat really did change the color and the glitter was just enough. I really liked how it turned out, hope you guys did too!

Reverse Glitter Gradient

Hey guys!

I needed a little excitement on my nails so I decided to do a reverse glitter gradient. When in doubt, use some glitter! I wanted something brighter so the colors I used were Delia's Bright Purple and OPI Sparkle-licious.

I used the same method as my previous glitter gradients just focused the glitter at the bottom of my nail instead of the tip.

Hope you guys enjoyed!
