Twinsie Tuesday - Inspired by the Season

Hi everyone!  I've been taking a bit of a blogging break, but I'm back today with a Twinsie Tuesday mani inspired by the season.  I decided to go with a fall inspired look because the weather here in LA has been anything but fall like!

I went with a glitter gradient and it didn't quite come out how I envisioned (the base is to dark for my taste), but I kind of like it.

For this look I used:

  • China Glaze Free Bear Hugs (from the Fall 2015 The Great Out Doors Collection)
  • China Glaze Electrify (from the Hunger Games Collection)
  • OPI Thrills in Beverly Hills Top Coat

Twinsie Tuesday - Anti-Valentine's Day

Hi everyone!  Today's Twinsie Tuesday post is all about Anti-Valentine's Day.  The first thing that popped in my head to do is a gradient from red to black.  My gradient was a bit of a fail.  This look didn't quite come out like I imagined, but it's growing on me.

For this look I used:
-OPI Big Apple Red (one of my favorite reds)
-Wet n Wild Black Creme
-Nicole by OPI Pitch Black Shimmer (this one is a black glitter and hard to find, sorry!)

Check out the other Twinsies' interpretations!

Black and White Gradient

It's the end of the month so it's time for another Proud Beauty Bloggers of Color post!  This months theme was black and white, so I decided to go for a gradient.

I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and OPI Black Onyx.  I then topped it all off with Sephora X Chaotic.  I actually found Chaotic at Big Lots for only $2.50  They had several others there too, so check that out if you like the Sephora X line.

Happy Easter! / Neon-Nude Gradient

Hey everyone, happy Easter!

This is just a quick post.  My nails aren't really Easter themed, but I've been wanting to do this combo for a while since I saw it on Brackett0701 on instagram.  I used Color Club Nomadic in Nude and Orly Glowstick.

Gradient Manicure

I've been in a polish slump for the past few weeks.  I've barely painted my nails and if I did, I didn't take any pictures.  Wednesday night I decided I was bored looking at my nails and I needed a manicure that would inspire me.  That's when I decided to do a rainbow gradient manicure.  I think I did well for my first try.

I painted my nails white with China Glaze Snow.  I then used a makeup sponge to do my gradient.  I used China Glaze Bahamian Escape, China Glaze Shocking Pink and Diamond Cosmetics Lemon Yellow Zest.
