Hearts

This is my first attempt at free hand hearts. They are a little messy, but I love the idea so I'll just have to practice some more!


Base: Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - Mint Sorbet
Hearts: Revlon - White On White
Top Coat: Seche Vite

I've Got The Blues

This needed clean-up, which I should have done before taking the pictures. Oops.


Anyway, I really liked this matte nail polish. It's so bright!

Pearls and Half Moon Manis

This is my first time using 3D nail art. This is also my first time trying a half moon manicure. I need a little more practice! I like the colors together though!

White: Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - White On
Top Coat: Seche Vite

My First Roses

Here is my first attempt at roses. I free-handed them, which should be pretty obvious because they're a little messy. 


Base: Sally Hanson Insta-Dry - Pink Blink
Light Purple: Essie - Lilacism 
Dark Purple: Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - Plum Power
Leaves: China Glaze - Glittering Garland 
Top Coat: Seche Vite

Make It Matte

I put a coat of Essie - Matte About You on top of my nails from the last post. I love it!

Black to White

Ombre Nails are so fabulous! I saw this idea first on Chloe's Nails . Hers look better, but I'm still excited about mine!

Ring: OPI -Skull & Glossbones
Middle: OPI - French Quarter For Your Thoughts
Pointer: A Franken of French Quarter For Your Thoughts
Thumb: Sally Hanson Hard As Nails: Xtreme Wear - Black Out

No Top Coat because I want to Matte-ify them later!

Terms:

Ombre: Taking one color and going from light to dark

Franken: Mixing two or more nail polishes together to make your own color

I Love Matte

A fun green matte!


China Glaze - Holly-Day
Finger Paints - Flecked
Esse - Matte About You

The green Holly-Day was such a fun green and had great coverage in two coats. 


This is my first time using Finger Paints. I love the flakies!

Glitter Gradient

I used makeup sponges to do the glitter.


China Glaze - Velvet Bow
China Glaze - Fireside Glow


The Velvet Bow didn't have as smooth of an application as I like, but I made two coats work. 

Matte

Here are pictures of my nails with a matte finish.


Essie - Bahama Mama
Essie - Shine Of The Times
Essie - Matte About You

I'm in Love with Flakies!

Ok, I'm in love with flakies and it's just the first time I've tried them!

First I used Essie - Bahama Mama
The flakies are Essie - Shine Of The Times

No Top Coat because I want to matte-ify them!

I will post the Matte Top Coat as soon as I do it!

Love, Bethany
