Catching up a little

I haven't done much with my nails lately. So much going on with 2 toddlers! I can't believe they are almost 2 already! It goes so fast.

Here's just a few things I've done over the last couple months.

This is a quick one I did last night. Base is Essie -Marshmallow and the gold is Ulta 

Candy corn gradient for Halloween. The ring finger is way more blended. It was the first one I had tried and I didn't quite blend the rest of them as well, but it makes it more candy corn like. All are SH colors topped off with China Glaze - Fairy Dust

This was my favorite! I was sad when this started chipping.

I did this one a few months ago. I liked the idea, but my black was getting thick so I couldn't quite get the swirls how I wanted them to be. 

So there's most of what I've done lately. Here's hoping I can get some Christmas ones done!

Roses & Gold

I finally did my nails! It was after 10 last night so I wanted something quick and easy so I came up with this. I usually don't do accent nail designs but I really like this! It's a little sloppy from doing it quickly... but it's something!

I needed to do a third layer of the base cause this is a little more sheer than I wanted. But I like the overall design.

Floral Stripes

Surprisingly I've been wearing just a solid color with a glitter top coat on my nails for the last couple weeks. I'll have to do it again so I can post them. The Rimmel Glitter Bomb top coat is my favorite so far! I decided I needed to do some art though.

As with the last time I did roses, I'm still way out of practice, so I just kinda blobbed some SC-VIP and added some Sally Hanson - White On lines. It needed a little something so I added a few stripes. SH-Sugar Coat is the pink and ELF-Blushing Beauty is the gold. The base is SH Triple Shine - Great White.

Been Awhile! Gradient Nails

It has been a long time since I did my nails. Summer comes around and I just get busy. So summer nail art is always sporadic. But last night I decided it was just time to do my nails. I wanted to do a gradient since I have only tried it once and I did really like how it looked. So I decided on a pink and gold gradient and had to add some flowers because I just love flowers!

For the flowers, I tried for one stroke petals, but it didn't work out exactly as I had planned. But I still like them.

For the base, I used my favorite pink, Sally Hanson - Sugar Coat. For the flowers I mixed elf - Cherry Bomb and Sally Hanson Extreme Wear - White On. The gold was elf - Blushing Beauty.  Hopefully I can get to my nails a little more often. I almost forgot how fun it is to create pretty nails!

Pink and Gold

I thought about posting some more of my older work, but since I took all the pictures with my old phone, they look really blurry... Which is sad because some of them I really liked, so I'll have to redo them later. For now, I'll have to post more recent stuff.

This is the first nail art I did when I finally received a set of nail art brushes! Best day ever! I didn't clean up very well, but I think the overall outcome turned out really well.

I tried more realistic roses and started with a light pink and had to mix the pink with a drop of red for the outline of the petals. You cant really tell what the gold is but it's kinda like leaves/filigree. ( I don't have names of colors right now because I don't remember them...) But that's all for today! Sorry for the terrible lighting!
