Californails #NailArtMar Day 4: Vintage Purple Ombre

Purple is one of my favorite colors especially in nail polishes. Today's design takes inspiration from vintage flowers wrapped up in a lilac/ purple ombre background. Gradient nails are not to be confused for Ombre nails. Gradient is more of a design where one color transitions into another color or more while ombre is from light to dark. I guess in some ways you can have an integration of both.


Nail Tutorial:
1. Start off your ombre design using lilac and purple polishes: From light to dark; China Glaze Sweet Hook, Cailyn Cosmetics #834, NYX Cosmetics Golden Lavender, Wet N Wild Wild Card/ Invitation and Sinful Color Fig.
2. Allow to dry fully and add a top coat. Add a rhinestone to the top of each nail bed before the top coat dries.


The rest of the design was handpainted using purple (Apple Barrel Lavender), white, green (Apple Barrel Meadow green) acrylic paints with a Winstonia #00 paint brush and small dotting tool.

Let’s start with what I do love about the palette. It’s simple black compact that has the same sleek look as the other Revlon photo-ready items. I find a highlighter, contour shade and blush in one palette is a great idea too. Having more blush colour in terms of quantity with smaller sections for the highlighter and contour makes perfect sense since I will use more of the blush anyway. The colours as they appear in the pan look perfectly coordinated to work with each other. You get a small brush with soft bristles in your kit to ensure you can just pop this in your bag and you’re off.  In the sunlight Now here is where it all goes downhill like Jack and Jill with their pail of water. Let’s start with the swatches which made me think twic

Marble Hearts: BCD Nail Art Challenge (Day 13)

Today's challenge utilizes the technique of dry water marbling to create your pattern. I'm doing a twist of it but doing a needle drag i.e using a needle or any fine point for just a smidgen of swirl to the colours used.
