OPI Gwen Stefani Skittle Nail Art

Press Sample

Hi all! Today's post is of a nail art skittle manicure I did using some polishes form the OPI Gwen Stefani collection.
I posted my review & swatches on the blog yesterday, you can check it out here!

You can see a breakdown of what I did to each nail below! Hope you guys like it!

Pointer

For this nail I started off with 4 In The Morning, then I added on a large diamond stud from the Over & Over A-Gwen set.
I used a little too much glue and the excess is a little noticeable in the pictures but it wasn't in person.

Middle

On this nail I used Love.Angel.Music.Baby. as the base color and using I Sing In Color and Over and Over A-Gwen .
I free-handed the leopard print with a dotting tool.

Ring

For this nail I used a nail art brush and Over and Over A-Gwen & 4 In the Morning to do a sort of color block manicure. Then I added six black crystals from the Over and Over A-Gwen set.  It looks a little funky top putting topcoat over it, so I guess maybe you shouldn't topcoat over studs and gems? I don't really use them enough to know these things! : /

Pinky

The pinky nail has I Sing In Color as the base coat and then I framed it with Love.Angel.Music.Baby.
Then I added a single gold stud again from the Over and Over A-Gwen set!

______________________________________________________

I think the Over & Over A-Gwen boxed set is a really fun starter kit for those you want to try out nail art with gems and studs! It's a nice way to try out different kinds without having to buy a ton of each without knowing if you'll like them or not.
Not to mention the perfect formula of Over & Over A-Gwen! The Over & Over A-Gwen boxed set retails for $14.95.

And a completely random side note - I just finished Dexter yesterday. I don't even know how I feel right now D:
Season 8 seemed all over the place, I still love the show though. I stopped watching it a few seasons ago and caught up when I realized that it's on Netflix. What should I watch now?!?? lol Also I can't believe that it's February!

A Colorful Watercolored Leopard

Hey guys, I have a bit of nail art for you today! My second freehand leopard print mani!

I started out with a plain white base, using Milani White on the Spot.

Then using the watercolor mani technique (or trying to lol out of practice!) I added the colors below.

Illamasqua -Force, Gamma, Nomad, Poke, Rare, Serenity.
China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy & Shocking Pink.

I also used a darker pink but I cannot for the life of me remember which!

I added the Leopard print with a small dotting tool, Nails Inc Baker Street & Milani Black Swift.

Hope you guys like it! Sorry about my dry hands!

My First Freehand Leopard Print Manicure! (Over a Franken)

Hey guys! Today's post was inspired by the ever amazing Chalkboard Nails, specifically her leopard print tutorial!

I have been meaning to try this for ages! I wish I tried sooner! It is so quick and easy!
Mine didn't come out perfect but my second attempt (which you will see soon!) came out even better!
But first! Here is the base I layered over, a unnamed franken that I made and love!

I wanted it just how it came out! A muted/dusty lavender with white micro flakies & shimmer! <3



I used Illamasqua Nomad and Prosperity to make the leopard print! <3

Hope you guys like it! It was really fun and simple to do!
If you haven't already seen Sarah's post or tutorial..well wtf are you waiting for?!? :)

Fuck off and Dye Leopard....Mani!

LOL Just kidding I love leopards & all animals, but come on I just had to :P

Hi guys! This post is Manglaze's epicly names Fuck off and Dye with Leopard print stamped over it!
Sorry I didn't take a picture of it alone I'm just so tired and want to get to bed but I will wear it again soon!

First I started with Basecoat (Cnd Stickey I believe) + 2 coats of Fuck off and Dye.
Then I stamped over it with Zoya-Trixie, using Red Angel Plate RA-107, and stamped over them again with the same image using Kleancolor-Metallic Black.

I'll be honest not 100% thrilled with this mani, I don't know I just kind of suck at stamping and haven't in almost 2 months so this mani isn't perfect..but I plan to practice more. So get ready to see more stamping on my blog! :)

 & with topcoat!

 Hope you guys have an amazing day! I don't really want you to Fuck off & dye ;)
