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!

Colorful Leopard Print Sponge Mani Tutorial!

Hey fellow nail polish lovers! Today I have a tutorial for you guys!! I was asked for this by quite a few people, for the manicure I had on the other day! I hope you all like it!!! This was my first time making collages so I am sorry if it isn't perfect, I have only been doing this for like 2.5 months so I am still learning! If you have any questions/comments/concerns please feel free to ask me in the comment section below!! <3

These are all the color's I used. Ridiculous I know haha
You do not have to use nearly this amount but that is how I feel less guilty over having so many LOL

I started off with 2 coats of Sally Hansen Whirlwind White.

I hope you can read all of this >.< Sorry this was my first collages ever!

I decided to add some more spunk with Nfu oh 61,
I mean a little holo can never be a bad thing right?!

 Thanks for looking!!!     -Sarah <3
