Beauty Tips for Women: Gradient Lotus Flower Manicure

Posted on March 28, 2015 by admin

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.

I stamped using Rica Whiteout and sealed it with Seche Vite.

I love how this turned out.

Beauty Tips for Women: Seashells and Flip-Flops Manicure

Posted on August 30, 2014 by admin

I have been a bit uninspired lately after having to chop off what little length I had gotten in my nails over the summer. Hanging at the beach and pool really took a toll on my nails. So to cheer up my mood I decided to go for neon pinks and some simply stamping.

Here is a list of what I used for this manicure:
Salon Perfect – Tickled Pink
Salon Perfect – Perky Pink
Rica – Whiteout
Cheeky plate – CH37
Cheeky plate – Jumbo #2

I used two coats of Perky Pink on thumb and ring finger. I stamped the flip-flop image from CH37 unto them using Tickled Pink. It stamped well but was very subtle. I can image that over white Tickle Pink would look very nice. The remaining fingers got two coats of Tickled Pink. I stamped the seashell image from Jumbo #2 using Rica Whiteout. Rica Whiteout is an amazing white stamping polish. I can’t recommend it enough. Topped it all off with Seche Vite.
