Rainbows & Clouds & Balloons, Oh My!

  Look! Another super colorful post! This one is more fun than the one I posted earlier this week because this one has cute little balloons and clouds. These nails were inspired by a couple of Little Twin Stars wallpapers I saw while I was browsing for some nail inspiration.

  I used a ton of colors for these, I'll start with the base colors I used. The light pink on all of my fingers, except my ring finger, is Ciaté Cutie Pie. The base color on my ring finger is Lime Crime Milky Ways. The colors that were used for the rainbow are Sinful Colors Sugar Rush, Unicorn, and Sugar N Spice. Those same three colors and Sinful Colors Candy Coated were used for the tiny stars and for the little balloons.

  Brown and white acrylic paint were used for the clouds and the tiny details on and around the balloons. The little balloons were a pain in the butt to paint because they are so tiny, but I'm really happy with the heart one. The yellow balloon was supposed to be a moon, but it got messed up when I put Seche Vite on.

  In the end, I love these and I'm really happy with how they turned out!
 

Girly Glitter Gradient

 Girly Glitter Gradient, say that three times fast.

 This week I needed a short break from all of the holiday themed nail designs, so I did this very girly glitter gradient.  My next posts will definitely be holiday nails.

 For this I used more Ciaté colors from my Mini Mani Month Calendar. The pink is called Cutie Pie and it's a weird one. The formula is almost a hybrid of jelly and creme and the formula is very build able. Here I used three coats. Again, the formula and drying time on this was awesome. The purple pink glitter is called Magic Carpet and this was one of the exclusives to the Mini Mani Month set.
