Winter Wonderland

Posted on 16 December, 2013

Aren’t holographic polishes amazing?! If you have never had the opportunity to use them, I recommend you get one and try it out! In the light, the polish reflects and gives it a rainbow effect – so mesmerizing. NCLA recently came out with their holo collection…Space Academy, and when I got them I knew I had to do some nail art with them. I couldn’t decide which shade to use so I did a gradient with Lightyears Ahead and Spaced Out, which made the perfect sky background.

Once I did the gradient I used Cult Nails Tempest to paint the snow scene

Holos are gorgeous, but so difficult to capture properly on camera! In person the blue and silver are much stronger.

Have you tried these NCLA polishes? What are your favorite holographic polishes? Let me know in the comments!

Spooky

Posted on 26 October, 2013

So excited for Halloween! A lot of my Halloween designs lately have involved the typical Halloween color palette…orange, purple, black, etc. I wanted to still do Halloween nails but without those colors! I thought I would go with a “spooky” theme, so I went with Ginger + Liz “Jeggings” for the sky

Tattoos

Posted on 4 October, 2013

After getting the Floss Gloss Princess of the Night collection, I knew instantly I had to do tattoo nails. The shade Faded is inspired by the color of faded tattoo ink so it would work perfectly

I first painted two coats of Dinge, and nude polish with a slight hint of pink. Once it dried I began searching for inspiration for the tattoo designs! For the “Nail Life” nail, I google image searched old english font and tons of options came up as a reference! Used my favorite nail art brush and began painting.
