Easter Mani

Happy Easter! I hope all who celebrate are having a nice day. As I mentioned yesterday I haven't really done any Easter nail art, but I will show you my "Easter" mani. It's purple and pastel so close enough right? :-P

Polishes Used:
-Precision Nail Lacquer - Walking on Air
-Acrylic Paints

I had the purple base and couldn't decide what to do with it, so I checked out one of my favorite You Tube Tutorial Channels, that of  Jaunty Juli. I really like her channel because she makes all of the manis that she creates, easy to re-create by watching the tutorials. For this look I followed her Ombré Fern Silhouette Nail Art tutorial. Instead of the blue, I decided that this would totally work with the purple that I already had on my nails.

I like how this look turned out although I do wish that I would have mixed my first "fern" color to be a little darker because it is too similar to Walking on Air. When I had this look on, I went to McDonalds and the girl who was working the drive through did a double take on my nails and then asked me to see them and told me how much she liked them; I love when that happens :)

Enjoy the rest of your Easter day!

 

 

 

OPI - Next Stop... The Bikini Zone

I recently won the OPI Brazil mini set from a giveaway, and today I'll be sharing with you Next Stop... The Bikini Zone. I actually wore this mani for a couple of days, which is rare, just because I really liked the color.

I am wearing two coats of color with topcoat. This shade has a little bit of everything, purple, duochrome, shimmers, etc. I had a hard time photographing it thought, my flash really gave it a gnarly look.

It feels weird that tomorrow is Easter and I haven't really done any Easter nails; but like I said, April has been somewhat crazy so I'm just trying to keep up with having posts :)

Do you own any shades from the Brazil Collection? If so, which ones?

Spring/Summer Pink Gradient

TGIF! This week wasn't too bad though because it was a short work week, that's always fun! We had today off so you can't been that.

I haven't really done much nail art that wasn't related to a challenge or theme so I felt like doing something simple but bright and fun for Spring/Summer.

Polishes Used:
-China Glaze - Neon & On & On
-OPI - A Definite Moust-Have
-Essie - Plumberry

Of course, this look was might brighter in person than it showed up on the camera. This isn't my best gradient ever, lol, but it's not that bad and from far away it looked great:-P

I really started like gradients in the last couple of years, but they aren't anything new; what's your favorite "new" nail trend?
