Hello Lovelies! & Happy Saturday. Today I’m sharing a review of some exciting nail mail I recently received: Butter London’s new Peel the Love PureCure manicure system. This system is designed for be a gentler way to do Gel Nails: it applies & cures like gel, wears like gel, but is designed that when you’re ready to remove all you have to do is peel the manicure off!
Today I have a have nail art design to share with you. I’ve written before how I love playing around with different techniques, & lately I’ve been really into marbled nails & the many ways to create them. For today’s design, I created a marble design using polish & acetone–a technique that I’ve shown off before.
For this manicure, the polishes I used were:
Base Coat: Nailtek 2
Top Coat: Seche Vive
China Glaze For Audrey
Quo by ORLY Feeling Free
Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Black Heart
Xroma Polish & Vinyls Spiral Star
Acetone
Q-tip
Obviously the easiest way to show you how to create this design was with a tutorial, so check out below!
I just really, really love this colour combination. There is something about turquoise & purple that goes so well together. Also why don’t I grab China Glaze For Audrey more often? It was my very first ever China Glaze shade, & now I remember why I fell in love with it. Just so pretty!
So what do you think of this marble design? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
Today I’m excited to share some pretty rose nails. We’ve kind of hit mid-Winter grossness so I felt like something pretty was in order to cheer me up. Plus, I don’t know about you but I’m already starting to think about Valentine’s Day nail art & roses are pretty much a Valentine’s Day must!
The products I used for the design are:
Base Coat: Nailtek 2
Top Coat: Seche Vive
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Ruby Do
Essence Dream On
Essence Perfect Match
Essence Sweet As Candy
China Glaze Dune Our Thing
Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art Pen in green
Essence The Green & the Grunge
Quo by ORLY Diva
Dotting Tool
Small detail brush (mine is from Born Pretty Store I believe)
You know how much I love my floral, & I thought it would be fun to include a tutorial of how I create my roses. I know everyone has there own way, & this is just the way I’ve found is best for me to freehand them (after a ton of experimenting over the years.)
Also it was SUPER difficult to try & paint roses which filming. My usual nail art is done on the couch, with the bottle between my knees so it’s been interesting learning to paint on a table while simultaneously recording haha! I’m also still trying to figure out the best angle for filming that shows off how to do the design best.
What do you think of this floral design? How do you paint your roses/ other florals? Let me know in the comments below!
