April Nail Art Challenge: Gradient

Hey guys!

Today it is time for another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday!
The challenge today is gradient and I made a pink reverse gradient.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow. Afterwards I made the first gradient using a make-up sponge and the following polishes (from lightest to darkest): Essie Fiji, Essie Lovie Dovie, and Essie Watermelon. When that was completely dry I applied nail art tape to my nails and made another gradient on top of that (the opposite way than the one before).

I do not know if I think this is a nail fail or not.

Stay polished.

April Nail Art Challenge: Nimbus

Hey guys!

Today it is time for another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday!
The challenge today is nimbus and I made an easter-themed skittlette (as I wore this manicure for an easter lunch).

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on my middle finger, ring finger, and pinky, and a yellow base of OPI I Just Can't Cope-Acabana on my pointer and thumb. Afterwards I followed this tutorial by Sammy of The Nailasaurus using the following polishes: OPI I Just Can't Cope-Acabana (yellow), Essie Blossom Dandy (mint), and Essie Mojito Madness (green). To finish off the skittlette I applied China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.

It is the first time I tried making a nimbus manicure, but definitely not the last!

April Nail Art Challenge: Orange

Hello ladies!

Today I have another April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday to show you guys!
The theme today is orange (which I interpreted as the fruit and not the color) and I made this orange half-moon manicure.

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of piCture pOlish Swagger on all my nails. Then I freehanded on the half-moon oranges on my middle and ring finger using white acrylic paint and the two orange polishes Etude House OR202 and L'Oréal Lush Tangerine. Lastly I applied the holographic glitter China Glaze Fairy Dust on my pinky.

I think this is a fun interpretation of today's challenge!

April Nail Art Challenge: Purple

Hi girls!

Time for another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday!
The challenge today is purple and I made a purple skittlette featuring sideway gradients.

For the manicure I started off with a light purple base of By K. Lavender Blue on my middle finger, ring finger, and pinky, and a purple base of OPI Do You Have This Color in Stock-Holm? on my pointer and thumb. Afterwards I used the two polishes and a make-up sponge to make the gradient effect on my middle and ring finger. To finish off the skittlette I applied China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.

The manicure I first made for today's challenge was a major nail fail, but I love how this one turned out!

The challenge today is green and I made a skittlette with puzzle nail art!

For the manicure I started off with a green base of By K. First Class on my pointer and thumb and a dark green scattered holo of piCture pOlish Kryptonite on my pinky. Afterwards I made four squares on both my middle and ring finger with the following polishes: By K. First Class, piCture polish Kryptonite, and OPI You Are So Outta Lime! Then I used a dotting tool to make the puzzle nail art. Lastly I outlined the puzzles with black acrylic paint.

April Nail Art Challenge: Red

Hello ladies!

Today I have another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge to show you guys!
The challenge is red and I swatched and reviewed Christian Louboutin Rouge Louboutin.

I had originally decided that I was going to make nail art for every challenge this month, but for this polish I am willing to make an exception.

Rouge Louboutin is a red creme.
The formula is amazing and it applies like butter! The opacity is amazing as well and it is opaque in just one thick or two thin coats.

I got this polish from my boyfriend for christmas and I love it so much!

April Nail Art Challenge: Blue

Hey guys!

Time for another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday!
The challenge today is blue and I made a blue leopard manicure.

For the manicure I started off with a light blue base of Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid. Afterwards I used a medium-sized dotting tool and the blue scattered holographic piCture pOlish Freya's Cats to make random dots and blobs around the nail. Then I used a small dotting tool and the dark blue Essie After School Boy Blazer to outline the dots with different C-shapes.

Blue is my favorite color, so of course I love this manicure!
