Glitter gradient manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a manicure inspired by Lucy's Stash' tutorial.

I started with two coats of Essie -Going Incognito and then, using the technique

in the video, I created the gold glitter gradient. For this I used Deborah Lippmann 

-Boom Boom Pow. This nail art is very easy to do and it's eye catchy, too. I didn't
use any clear top coat after applying the glitter. This manicure makes me think
about Christmas and I would definitely recommend you to wear this combination
of colours for the holiday. What do you think?

Tuxedo nail art

Hi,

As many of you might now, tuxedo nail art has became a trend since they 

were worn on the red carped, so I decided to come up with a similar design.

I started with two coats of Essie- Topless&Barefoot. After that, using a 

thin brush, I created diagonally two black lines and filled them in with

Illamasqua- Scorn. Then I created the bows and two small dots on each

nail with a dotting tool. I finished with a clear top coat.

Newspaper nails - TUTORIAL

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a very easy to do cute manicure.

Here's what you need: a newspaper, rubbing alcohol, tweezers and

of course, some nail polish.

Firstly, apply a nude base color on your nails. I used 2 coats of Essie-Topless&Barefoot.

Cut 10 pieces of newspaper.

Take a piece of newspaper with the tweezers and put it in the rubbing alcohol.

Then, apply it on your nail. Push it for about 5-10 seconds.

Peel it off and here's what you get:

Don't forget to apply a top coat after you peel the paper or else it will erase.

I chose a glittery top coat from Flormar, but a clear one is good, too.

This is it! Your manicure it done.
