How NOT to watermarble

If you know me well then you know that I've said I will never do a watermarble cause they so tedious and annoying and I just hate everyone who can do them like no big deal basically. BUT. For some reason that must have transpired in an alternate universe I agreed to add the watermarble prompt to the last week of May's weekly nail art challenge (WNAC) which I co-host on Instagram along with lovely ladies Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey. WHYYYY DID I AGREE TO THIS, WHYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAA

But look, HELLLOOO HOOOLOOO HOW I'VE MISSED YOU.

Colourblind eye test dotticure

Time to test your eyesight... what shapes do you see? Nothing? Not seeing anything yet? Ya me neither, but whatever, here's some confusing dottier fishtail nails!

Last Friday for the weekly nail art challenge I co-host on Instagram I did up some bright & black neon fishtail nails as a second attempt because THIS (down below) was my first attempt, and I was like, k no, ew. In my video tutorial on YouTube I asked you guys if you cared to see a tutorial for this dotticure that looks like those colourblind tests, and many of you said yes??? Why?? JUST WHY??? In any case, here it is!!

Neon fishtail gradient with an edge

Neon nails again! This time a bit more bad ass-ey, with some black glitterness going on here. This week's weekly nail art challenge (WNAC) that I co-host on Instagram along with lovely ladies Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey is neon + fishtail. I'm not even sure this is a fishtail mani... braid? Herringbone? Whatever, I'm pretending it's all the same.

I used three gawwwwgeous summer-ready neon polishes from Live Love Polish, and NARS 'Night breed' on top. I used stripe nail vinyls from Twinkled T to give me those clean lines, I chose these slightly thicker ones than striping tape to allow more of the pretty gradient underneath to show.

Neon gradient pattern nails for summah

Oh hey there people who actually read my blog! I've been sick all week so that's my excuse for no posts (I dunno what my excuse is for every other week before this though... crap). But here, have some neon! This week's weekly nail art challenge (WNAC) that I co-host on Instagram along with lovely ladies Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey is neon + tribal. So I went with my strange interpretation of the theme as always.

My most important discovery during this neon adventure was how awesome Models Own 'polish for tans' polishes are!! They are are super neon and they were completely opaque after one coat of SPONGING!!! Which is like amazing, cause if you recall in my Peel Off Face Off video where I used Color Club pastel neons, it took me 4-5 coats of sponging to get the gradient opaque. I highly recommend these Models Own neons, they are amazeeeeballllls.

Rose gold-tipped and stripes inspired by a classic watch

A simple classic mani for a change! I was inspired by a new watch I got from Daniel Wellington - it's called the Classic Southampton Lady... which is pretty much the opposite of me (Different Canadian Chick?)

I used straight nail vinyls and french tip nail vinyls to help guide the super straight lines. If you shop at Twinkled T you can get nail vinyls and everything else in their store 10% off with my code SIMPLY!


You can grab this gorgeous minimalist watch from www.danielwellington.com and use my code simplynailogical to get 15% off all products until May 15! They ship internationally and pretty quickly too - mine came all the way to Canada from Sweden in a couple of days!

Neon half-moon dotticure nails - summmahhhh where art thou

MOAR NAIL ART MOARRRR I'm on a roll guys, maybe it's all the crack lines of glitter I did last week, can't be sure. The theme of week's weekly nail art challenge (WNAC) that I co-host on Instagram along with lovely ladies Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey is half moon + neon! This is a relatively simple mani compared to my usual tendency to over complicate everything. But I did add a tiny bit of Twinkled T loose glitter sooooooooo it's still me (use my code SIMPLY for 10% off your orddahhhh!)

I used a gorgeous creamy neon Models Own polish named 'Shades' plus a white Color Club polish that goes by 'French tip' - you can grab them both from Live Love Polish! Check out their entire neon nail polish selection here! And guess what, today (May 1st) until midnight 12AM EST (that's in roughly 6.5 hours from now) you can get 10% off anything from Live Love Polish with my code SIMPLYMUSTBUY!
