shades of pink

So Anna found this new technique where you sponge on different shades of polish to create this shading effect. Her original post can be viewed by clicking here ! Her nails came out awesome so I decided to try it out for myself. And I embellished them with a little flower with a rhinestone center!



I used a 4 different shades of pink and a red polish for the flower.







It's a very simple technique using any kind of cheap makeup sponge. Just dip the tip of the sponge into the polish and dab onto nail until you have the look you desire. It's all about layering and make sure to let coats dry in between applying or it will stick and turn messy.







These are all the polishes I used to do this mani. I started with N.Y.C. in Pol ester Pink Creme as a base all over the whole nail. Then used Ulta in Flamingo and shaded in below the half moon shape of my nail. Then took Sinful colors in Boom Boom to shade in the lowest part of my nail. The glitter polish from Sinful Colors in Pink 4 Ever was placed over the darkest shade and kinda blended everything together. I used essence in Ready for Action to stamp the flower with plate m57. And finished with a pink rhinestone and top coat.

Zebra Konadicure

Today I did a pink zebra nail. I used Sinful Colors Boom Boom and Konad black polish for the design. The zebra print can be found on Konad plate m57.

The full plate designs are my favorite because they come out perfect everytime and its really fun to convince people you painted the design yourself :)

Green & Gold Superbowl!

Well my godchild's 8-year old football team had their Superbowl game today and WON! To prep for the game, I did green and gold nails for the team's colors. I used a sponging technique to fade the colors. And using the glitter fades away any mistakes or uneven lines. So what do you think??

Here's a run down of what I used.

• Milani - Good Morning Sunshine (gold base color)
• Ulta - Limelight (green base color)
• Sinful colors - See you soon (dark green tip color)
• Konad special polish - in black pearl (stars)
• Sally Hansen XTreme Wear - Disco ball (top coat glitter)
• Sally Hansen XTreme Wear - Invisible (top coat)
• Image plate - BM14
