31 DAY NAIL ART CHALLENGE: WATER MARBLE

Last post for today! :) This is my Water Marble design. I've always struggled with water marbling, I've watched video after video on tips and tricks and I've tried several times and the only thing I really get is frustrated hahaha...but this design was finally different. It finally worked!




Even though the Water Marble did turn out a little bit more messy than I would have liked, I just covered up some of the messes with dots :) (Trick I learned lol). 




All of the colors I used were Julep polishes. I used Coco, Catrina, Nan and Marjorie. I've found that when a Water Marble design does work out it's because of the polishes I use. They have to be newer polishes...idk if that is true for everyone...that's just my own experience.



So until next time, Thank You for checking out my posts! :) I hope you guys have a great week and I will see you again soon!


31 DAY NAIL ART CHALLENGE: GALAXY NAILS

OK, so of all of the posts I have posted so far this one is probably my absolute favorite! :) I am really excited to show you guys this design!

I know I have done a few Galaxy nails before, but I wanted this one to be different than what I have already done so I decided to do a Galaxy Drip design, which was inspired by +Coewless. If you would like to see her video click here. Her design is absolutely amazing!




When I first started this design I wasn't quite sure that the colors were going to work together, it didn't seem to look like a Galaxy, more like a bunch of different blobs of color...but that happens every time I do Galaxy nails. It never seems like its coming together until you add the stars :)




I used ALOT of colors for this design so here is my list :P 

-China Glaze- 
White on White
Urban-Night
Flirty Tankini
Purr-fect Plum
Are You Jelly?

-Ulta- 
Celebutante

-Revlon- 
Peach Petal

-Julep- 
Nellie
Nan




I hope you guys like this design! And please take a few minutes to watch Coewless's video :) It isn't as hard as it looks. I promise :P




31 DAY NAIL ART CHALLENGE: HALF MOONS

I really like Half Moon manis but I never really know what to do. So after alot of thought I decided to to do these fun stripes and keep it kind of simple :)




I started with a white base of China Glaze, White on White and then added a pink acrylic paint and China Glaze, Sun of a Peach. Then using white acrylic paint I made the stripes and evened out the half moon.




I really loved this design on my nails :) It's so bright and fun but also simple and pretty! Let me know what you think :)


31 DAY NAIL ART CHALLENGE: GLITTER

For my Glitter design I decided to use one of my newer Julep colors, Candace, and I kept the design very simple just because the color is so gorgeous! I love the gold flakes in it :)









31 DAY NAIL ART CHALLENGE: TRIBAL NAILS

Good afternoon!! :) I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend! I have a few posts I to put up today so I may not say a whole lot about them. I won't have a computer for a week so I want to catch up on the designs I have already done because my fiance is going up north for job training and will have our computer...I will do my best to continue posting from my phone even though the format is different. I apologize for my posts being so chaotic lately but I promise once we move and get settled in that that will change :)

Now onto my Tribal design!




I absolutely love how this design turned out! I couldn't be more pleased with it. I was inspired by @andreitus_nails, her design was incredible! And glow in the dark! So if you aren't following her you probably should :P She is ridiculously amazing!




All of the colors I used for this design are acrylic paint and I used tiny detail brushes and dotting tools for all of the designs.




I hope you guys like this design as much as I do! Check back for more of my designs for the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge :)

31 DAY NAIL ART CHALLENGE: DELICATE PRINT

Good morning everyone! :) I want to thank you guys for continuing to check out my posts and commenting even though I've been a little sporadic lately. Once I move I'm hoping to work on making my posts more timely...So don't go anywhere! :P

Today's post is Delicate print and I always have kind of a hard time with this one. It's not super easy to think of something to paint on your nails that's delicate. I thought on this for like 2 days before I even tried anything :P But overall I am satisfied with the way it turned out.




These tiny, little dots make this design so beautiful! I wish I could say I did this with dotting tools, but it's actually a stamp. I used Cheeky plate CH7 and Ulta, Set the Nude with Celebutante over the top.




I'm very happy with how this design turned out and once I finished it I thought of other things I could have done for Delicate print (lol typical...), like feathers, flowers and maybe a baby themed design :) So if you end up doing the Delicate print nails at some point, there are some ideas for you! And hopefully I remember them for next year as well! :P
