Beauty Tips for Women: Gradient Lotus Flower Manicure

For my gradient I choose two polishes from the Sally Girl Sweet Candy Dreams collection, Candy Coated (blue) and Grape Taffy (purple).

I started off with a base color of white using Salon Perfect Sugar Cube.  Using a makeup sponge I applied the gradient.  I did three coats.  I applied a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust.  To seal everything in before stamping I used Seche Vite.

I decided to stamp using Bundle Monster  BM-616, which has a lovely full nail image of lotus flowers.

My 5 year old daughter wanted her nails done for her Christmas kindergarten party. She was very specific about what she wanted; red nails with an accent nail in white full of glitter, snowman and Santa.

She went about selecting the colors for her manicure:
Orly – Torrid
Salon Perfect – Sugar Cube
Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer – St. Nick’s Sweet Treats
Fing’rs Holiday Nail Art Decals #31038

Did one coat of Torrid and one coat of Sugar Cube.Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 492Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 493
