Back in the gradient biz woop woop! Finally feels like home. For this week's edition of the weekly nail art challenge(WNAC) I co-host on Instagram along with Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey, the theme is summer and the prompt is cobalt and and peach! I actually listened this time and did exactly that.
This two-toned scaled gradient is super trippy but easier than it looks! You do need nicely opaque creme polishes though for this to work, which I found!! These two Floss Gloss orange creme are sooooo opaque they actually make me consider liking creme polishes almost as much as holo (but still no).
HOLLLLOOOOOO GLITTTAHHHH cause what else. For this week's edition of the weekly nail art challenge(WNAC) I co-host on Instagram along with Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey, the theme is summer and the prompt is magenta and navy! Naturally I did nothing that made sense with this prompt!
Here's an in-your-face glitter placement using large maxi-sized holographic loose glitters from my fav nail supply store, Twinkled T! Don't forget you can use my code SIMPLY for 10% offanything in their shop! This is my second time doing a full-nail glitter placement mani (here's my first, with smaller glitters), and I placed the large hex's in a soccer ball pattern. Cause summer = soccer? Idk. The holo blinds you anyways so you can't see the soccer effect at all, whatever, sports, boring, not holo.

HOT DAMN There's a fiyyyaaaahhh on mah nails, quick send some sweaty firefighters! For this week's edition of the weekly nail art challenge(WNAC) I co-host on Instagram along with Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey, the theme is summer and the prompt is lemon and cherry (meant to indicate colours, not actual fruits). So what's better than an intense fire for summer?
Or I just wanted to do this cause I'd been dying to try a scaled gradient with my new fire nail vinyls from Twinkled T heheheh MUAHAH and you too can burn your money on vinyls from Twinkled T but save 10% by using by code SIMPLY at checkout ;)

This weeks edition the the weekly nail art challenge(WNAC) manis I co-host the WNAC on Instagram along with lovely ladies Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey the theme is negative space & gradient! Well the incorporation of both those techniques doesn't really translate well at first glance.... but on this day we give no facks.
"Your nails are so yellow and ugly, you should prob clean them and let them breathe."
I can't count how many times I hear that from the children of the Internet, and every time I do, I want to give them a high five. With a chair. In the face.
SO, to address the ignorance of those inside and outside of the nail polish Internet community (and also some who genuinely haven't found a reliable source of information yet), I give you my latest video, WHY YELLOW NAILS DON'T MATTER.
Not too much else to say other than watch this! I've added my sources and fav go-to links for all things nail care (that's actually true) down below in this post, and in the YouTube video description box. Now let me get back to painting my yellow nails, k thx bai.
There's tons of different possibilities, this is one of them! But in all honesty, it didn't turn out as it looked in my head. But that doesn't mean I wasn't going to share it with you😆
Technically one might call this a scaled reciprocal chevron patterned gradient and... it's just as confusing to do as it looks.
Did you know I was human? Yes, that's right, I have tons of nail fails too! I get the feeling that most nail artists don't show you when they f up, even during a nail art tutorial that turned out great (those clips got cut on the editing room floor, as they say). And even when the final end result is complete and a major fail, most nail artists just delete those pics (or don't take any at all) and pretend like it never happened. NOT ME!
In today's tutorial I show you how I attempted a more "complicated" layered gradient (reciprocal returning gradient would be the proper term), and where I messed up at multiple points along the way. This is the actual TRUTH OF DOING NAIL ART people! I'm using this "nail fail" for this week's weekly nail art challenge(WNAC) manis I co-host the WNAC on Instagram along with lovely ladies Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey - geometric gradient!
Pass the electric fan and the ice cold Snapple cause this collection is HAAAWWWTTT BETTTCH. It's so juicy I almost felt inclined to bite into these glowing holo glitter glass bottles. This is FUN Lacquer's new Summer 2015 collection - six vivid oh-so-saturated holo jellies with scattered micro gold holographic glitters throughout!
You can find these at my fav nail polish shop, Live Love Polish, for international shipping (best option for USA and Canada customers, ships out of USA), or direct from FUN Lacquer (ships out of Singapore)!
