Lazy Days Of Summer # 4 - Flip Flops

Hello!
Flip Flops is the 4th theme of the Lazy Days of Summer challenge and I knew already what I was going to do thanks to Bundle Monster and its new set of stamping plates. I wasn't the only one as you will see the harmony in the manicures done by the other ladies participating in this challenge. On to the pics!

Fan Brush Gradient

Happy Monday lovelies!
This is a quick post to show you the gradient I achieved with a fan brush. I only used that brush to sprinkle glitter on my nails o.O I discovered the fan brush technique on Pinterest and wanted to give it a try. I went again with some polishes in my untrieds. The base is OPI Cuckoo For This Color and the gradient was done with L'Oreal Flight Perle and Sation Electric Blue. Let me know what you think about it :)

Gosh - Ocean

Good morning!
I know I'm late to the party on Gosh Ocean but eh now I'm rocking in on my fingers, thanks to a lovely friend. Ocean is a gorgeous turquoise to blue/green duochrome that wears like iron. I used two coats with top coat, before doing a full house move out and cleaning. No chipping, only minor tip wear. This is a winner in my list. See for yourself!

Stripes!

Hello!
This is another nail art coming out of nowhere. I just used different nail art striping polishes over two coats of OPI Warm And Fozzie. It's easy and you can experience it with different colors, hope you like it!

K's Special Fridays #15 - Don't Blush

Hello!
TGIF! It's almost the week end and it's time for another franken post! This pretty and the ones I will show you during the following weeks were created way before I did the birthday club collection. I do apologize in advance because I do not have the exact recipes of all of them but I'll do my best to direct you the right way if you want to recreate it :) Don't Blush is a nude with pink undertones holographic polish. I was aiming for a more brownish tone but I guess I added too much holo pigment :) which I don't regret at all.

Name: Don't Blush

Recipe for a 15ml bottle = 1/4Brown + 1/4Dusty Pink + 2/4TKB suspension base + 4 straw scoops of spectraflair 35

All swatches are two coats of Don't Blush without top coat

Black Roses' Bed - Tutorial

Good morning!
I always wanted to freehand a rose nail art but always procrastinated and ran to my stamping plates, but now it's no more in my to do list :) The dress I am wearing today inspired me to do this black roses manicure. I love how it came out. I only used a dotting tool but next time I'll try a fine nail art brush. Let me know what you think about it!

Lazy Days Of Summer # 3 - Flag Day

Happy 4th of July everyone!
The third theme of the summer challenge I'm taking part in is Flag Day. I have a day full of activities for the national American holiday. I decided to do a sponged gradient manicure with Nails Inc Baker Street, Sally Hansen White On and Rapid Red, then I stamped over it with Sally Hansen Silver Sweep and BM14 (from the first Bundle Monster plates set). Love the result and especially seeing all those patriotic manicures :) Have a good time and a safe holiday!

Polish Days - Jelly Sandwich

Happy Jelly Sandwich day !

Well today is the second theme of Polish Days, which is a day where nail bloggers all over the world post about a single theme, at the same time. I missed Floam day because I didn't have the polish :( but jellies? eh they are easy to franken if you don't have any. Please click here to find out more about Polish days and how to participate as I know a few of you who will like to join.
For my mani I used Essie San Tropez, diluted with a clear base to have a jelly and Kleancolor Starry Purple.  On to the pics!

Flakies and Glitter manicure- Tutorial

Good morning!
I'm wishing you a beautiful start of the week! I'm exhausted as I spent time packing and u hauling. I got to go to the beach, which was the only relaxing part of my week end. I'm taking a deserving break and wish it could last more :) Ok on to the nails. I didn't know what to do so I picked some random untried polishes and came up with this reinvented french manicure. Hope you like it!

Lazy Days Of Summer #2 - Ombre

Hello!
This is day 2 of the Lazy Days Of Summer challenge! It's Sunday, sunny and I'm going to the beach. I'm moving out in a couple weeks and most of my polishes are bubble wrapped and packed, so I will be doing this challenge with what I have in hand. Luckily purple is one of the color trend for summer 2012 and I had some untrieds that matched the ombre theme. I hope you like it!
