Beauty Tips for Women: Marilyn Monroe Manicure

Posted on May 8, 2015 by admin

Enjoying my Mother’s Day weekend with a Marilyn Monroe movie binge, which inspired my manicure.

The polish I used for this manicure are:
China Glaze – Love Letters
Sally Hansen – Smoky
Pure Ice – Silver Mercedes
Rica – Blackout
HongNuo – Glitter in silver
Seche Vite

The Marilyn Monroe image and the swirling image are from Born Pretty plate BP-15. I stamped them using Rica Blackout.

I wanted to do a black and silver color combination. A play on the simple sexy little black dress Marilyn Monroe wore while playing ukulele in Some Like It Hot. The silver is for diamonds of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds.

I really liked how this manicure turned out.

Beauty Tips for Women: Easter Gradient Manicure

Posted on April 1, 2015 by admin

Easter is coming and I wanted a bright manicure to get me in the mood. For my gradient I choose two polishes from the Sally Girl Sweet Candy Dreams collection, Gummy Bear (pink) and Lemon Drop (yellow).
I started off with a base color of white using Milani White On The Spot. Using a makeup sponge I applied the gradient. I did three coats. I applied a coat of Wet n’ Wild Hallucinate/Hallucination. To seal everything in before stamping I used Seche Vite.

I decided to stamp using Cheeky Jumbo Plate C.

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

I love how this turned out.
