Gradient Leopard Print Nail Art

Hi lovelies !! 

I'm back today with another inspired nail art by @Chikiiz26 on IG! I fell in love with her original work of this design! It was just breath taking!! 

Minee ... 

Not so much .. I just seem to be really having trouble getting the hang of the sponged gradient technique ! I really need a better sponge because I keep getting little pieces of it on my nails 😡

But here's my go at a 
Gradient Leopard Print Nail Art Design 

I used two coats of @PolishMyLife Coral Fedora then I sponged on 1950s Mint Fridge to create the gradient effect. 
Once dry, using Essie - Licorice & my OPI Dotting Tool I drew the leopard print on just the side of the two gradiented nails.


Hope you all enjoyed & Happy Polishing!

Chevron & Gold Heart Nail Art

Haay beaaauts!! 

So I'm back today with some real nail art again, I know I've been lacking by doing a lot of swatching lately but I promise to do more!! 

This nail art was inspired by @melcisme on IG ! She has the most amazing designs ever, she's my faav :) 

I really liked her go on this with the silver but didn't have any silver heart studs so this had to do :) 

I used two coats of each polish using nail glue I placed down my gold heart stud and applied my top coat 

Once dry using single stripe nail guides I made thin chevron lines in gold & pink over a white base !

Voila! 

How simple was that? 


I hope you all enjoyed! See you next time!

Happy Polishing !

Gradient Stamped Nail Art

Hi lovelies !! So I finally had some time to do some real nail art work, & it's something I've never done before !! 

&& let me tell you, doing sponged gradient nails is not as easy as it looks !
The pictures make it seem soo frikkin easy!!

'All you do its apply the colours to the sponge and sponge on nail' 

Now what they don't tell you is that if you don't have the greatest makeup sponges, it WILL stick to your nail! Ugh I was so fustrated but luckily ... 

Thanks to @mynailsdid today's #TGIFNailArtChallenge Day 24, was a stamped gradient so that helped cover the lumps a bit but you can still feel them :@ :@ 


After applying my base coat, I applied a thin layer of Orly ; Cake Pop before starting the sponge gradient. 
Once dry, I took my sponge and with each colour I made one stripe along the sponge and when applying the others you want them to touch a bit so they can blend! 

But make sure you have a good sponge or else be prepared to have spongy nails!
 

Hope you all enjoy! Happy Polishing !
