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

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!


Pinky: Sally Hanson Hard As Nails: Xtreme Wear - White On
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!

The Color Wheel

I'm sure you all know what a color wheel is. I wanted to post a color wheel to show you one way choose colors for your nails!


Compliment colors are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. For example: Green and Red are compliment colors. 


Compliment colors look great together, so try it out next time you want more than one color on your nails.
