Wham! Pow!

  Hey guys!  Today's post features some neon and holographic glitter, it's like a rave on my nails.

   This orange is Color Club Wham! Pow! and the name is fitting because this color is crazy bright! I needed about three coats and I really should've put this over white, but I didn't. The formula on this one was really meh too, it's kinda thick and it dried before it could even out. I guess the end result is worth it though, because it's so bright and pretty.

  The gold glitter I'm wearing is Stun from Floss Gloss. This is a holographic gold glitter and wow, this is awesome. I love everything about this nail polish. I only needed two coats of this and the formula was really great for being a glitter.

 
     The picture below shows the holo-y-ness of the glitter. Super pretty, right?

Glowstar Gradient

   Hey guys! If you're ever in doubt about what to do to your nails, do a glitter gradient. They're really hard to mess up and they look awesome about 95% of the time.

   Here I'm using Floss Gloss Glowstar and the glitter is a Color Club, I think this one is called Beyond The Mistletoe. I got this from Ross and it doesn't have a name on it, so I'm not sure if that's what it's called.

 I started this out with two coats of Glowstar. This color is a very bright pastel green color. At a quick glace this color could look white, but I can assure you it's not. This was completely opaque in two coats and it dried really fast. I'm really loving this color and it's perfect for spring, so you'll be seeing more from me using this color.

 Then, I did a thin coat of the glitter about halfway down each nail and let that dry slightly. When I went back around for the second coat of glitter, I concentrated the glitter more at the tips. I finished this off with, not one, but two coats of top coat to smooth this one out.

Watercolors!

   Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while again, my computer decided it wanted to stop working again.  Everything is good now, and I'm back for real this time haha!

 I'm sure you guys may have seen some "watercolor" nails before. I saw a bunch of them last year and never got around to trying it, but I finally did and I really love how them came out!

  So, you probably know that this wasn't really made using watercolor, but with nail polish that has been sort of diluted with acetone. Using a nail brush dipped in acetone makes the colors almost like watercolor paints!

I used this tutorial, and started with a white base and picked a few colors that I thought would look nice together. I was going for something that looked like stormy clouds at first, so I started with some gray, blue, and purple, colors. I started with the color that I wanted to show up the least, the gray. After waiting a few minutes for the white to dry, I put about two or three drops of gray onto the white and then, with a brush dipped (not dripping, wipe it off a bit) in acetone, I dabbed with brush onto the dots of color and dabbed it around the nail.

  I did this to each nail with each color until I liked the results. At the last minute I added some neon yellow and green (and I'm super happy I did), because it looked really boring and bland with just purple, blue and gray. Then, I finished with one coat of Seche Vite!

I am so in love with how this turned out! You will probably be seeing more watercolors from me in the future. ;)

Annnnnd I think that covers all of the colors I used. Whew...

Sugar Plum Fairy

      Hey guys! I'm really sorry for the lack of updates recently. I've had nail block, like writers block, I keep doing my nails and then hating how the come out and I end up taking them off an hour later. 

     Since I've been getting so frustrated, I decided I'd just use my favorite glitter, Color Club Sugar Plum Fairy. It's a multicolored holo glitter. It's pretty amazing looking. That's why I included a ton of pictures with different angles to show the amazingness.

     This was about 2.5 coats. I say 2.5 because I did two coats and then fixed parts that looked like they had nail showing.
