You’d think that these pastel colors would be great for gradienting… well think again!!
The amount of coats needed to achieve this opacity in the gradient was almost 5 with a white base. It’s not impossible but it will take some time… you’ve been warned!
Red base with golden stamped butterflies. Nuff said.
Ever since I heard of David Bowie’s passing on January, I’ve been nothing short of obsessed with his music and his fashion sense. He was a great person, artist, and performer and I found out he was part of many things I already liked but had no idea he was the creative genius behind.
Naturally, I took to Google to see if anyone had done any David Bowie nails and found one person on Instagram that had. She’s @monkeynailart and she was just the inspiration I needed to make my own, so here it is:
Life on Mars nails!
I know David Bowie didn’t pass away but merely moved to another planet.
I hope to meet you someday David!
I don’t know about this one, I’ve got a love/hate relationship with it. Even though it looks amazing on, and it’s got a very reflective, “metallic-y” feel to it, It’s a bit hard to double coat, and I had to use a white base so the color was more vibrant. The formula on these polishes is so weird it actually melts off the base and if I made too many swipes, the white would come off. Still, a very strong foil color!

After feeling more than a little disappointed that I couldn’t replicate my water marble nails, I decided to try on fake nails. Absolutely 0 mess, and you can always keep them to use later!
This is obviously an homage to the new Instagram logo, had to use 6 – 7 colors to achieve the gradient to full opacity, but kudos to Instagram! I like the new rainbow!!
This was an old challenge that a buddy of mine asked me to do, here are the pictures doing the challenge!
