Hi everyone! Today's post is definitely picture heavy.. I tend to take TONS of photos of my nail art when I really like it.. and clearly I'm really loving my nails today! I was browsing through instagram and saw someone's nails that had a beautiful gradient with purple, red, and orange. I knew I had to copy it (but add my own flare of course!). I used some spring pastel colours, and topped it off with a holographic scattered glitter polish.. and then stamped a cute cheetah print design over it!
I started by sponging a gradient on all my nails using
Beyond the Nail - Spring Purple Creme, Beyond the Nail - Spring Red Creme, and
Beyond the Nail - Spring Orange Creme. I went over my nails twice with my sponge to get a good opaqueness (You could also start with one layer of a white polish to make your colours stand out more). When dried, I went over each nail with one coat of my holographic scattered glitter nail polish (I made it a long time ago [hense the old bottle label] but never listed it for sale on our site. I wasn't sure if anyone would buy it).
When everything was
completely dried, I stamped over it with
Bundle Monster - stamping plate BM-221 with my black stamping polish from
Konad. I layered a thick coat of
Essence - Gel Top Coat so I would avoid smudging the stamped design and to have extra smooth nails!
