Mismatch Nails!

Hey guys! I have great nails to show you guys today!! So for these I felt like doing a different design on every. single. nail. :) It took me like 2 hours because it was hard to think of different things to do and I was watching Lost! If you haven't seen this show, you need too! I've been watching it on Netflix and I'm seriously addicted.

Anyways, for my nails I chose 3 colors that are all from China Glaze.
 Here's what they all looked like! :)
And for these close up pictures I used the Easy-Macro Lens which just straps on to your phone and takes amazing macro shots!
 Ok, for the top left I used a fan brush, dipped it into some polish remover to separate it, and then dipped it into some polish and lightly dragged it across the nail. It's definitely my favorite nail!!

 The rest are pretty self explanatory on how to do them... I did these about 4 days ago and there's only 1 jewel that fell off and minor tip wear! I love Seche Vite!!
Hope you guys liked these!!
Bye!!

China Glaze Swatch! (Flying Dragon)

Hey Guys! So I got this China Glaze polish from Ulta a while ago...well I actually got 3, but this ones really pretty:). It's called Flying Dragon(neon). The picture is pretty close to what the color looks like, but in person it's a little darker and it has these small blue and pink sparkles all over. Here's what Flying Dragon looks like..
Heres 2 coats of the color and a topcoat on. The polish comes out really smooth and it was easily spread.
It was hard to get good lighting but you could see some of the blue sparkles.
I put a matte topcoat on to see how it came out. It looked ok, but the pictures not the best and it looks way better shiny:).

Bye Guys!!

How to Watermarble!

Hey Guys! So from now on I think I'm going to try and post a tutorial every Tuesday. I'll call it... Tutorial Tuesday!! haha but anyways I'm going to show you how to watermarble. It's super easy and if you don't get it on the first try don't worry! This is one of those designs the you HAVE to practice on to get really good.
I used:
 -Plastic cup filled with filtered water from the fridge
 -Scotch Tape
 -Toothpicks
 -L.A Colors White for a base coat
 -Wet n Wild - Eggplant Frost
 -Sinful Colors - Innocent
 -China Glaze - Splish Splash
First, prep your nails by taping around your cuticle and sides of your nails for easier clean up. Also, do a white base coat to make the colors pop out more. I just did one coat since the white doesn't ever show. If you're using silver in your design it might make it easier for the base coat to be silver.
Have all of your nail polish open and ready. Try to pick nail polish that drips easily off the brush. Now in any order drip the polish colors one by one into the cup. They should spread out and start to look like a target. You can put as many drops of polish in as you want. I did two of every color except the blue. Then use a tooth pick and gently move the polish around to make a design. When you find the design you like dip your nail right onto it.
Keeping the nail in the water use the tooth pick and get all the extra polish around the sides of the cup. Gently pull your finger out of the water. If you have any water drops on your nail take a corner of a paper towel and touch it to the water and it should soak it all up:). When it's dry take the tape off and clean up your nail with a Q-tip dipped in polish remover.
And here's what it looks like at the end!! I only did two and the rest of the nails with the same color, but you can do all of the nails too!

Tips:
-Try not to be straight under a fan (it dries the nail polish in the cup too fast)
-If the polish won't spread out do like 2 drops of polish in the cup, take a tooth pick and spread it all the way to the edges. Gently blow to dry it and remove all of the polish.If you have any questions comment below!!
