Pastel leopard print and cool ombre effect!

Hello readers!

I've got some leopard print nails to share with you today, and an experiment that turned out really great!

Today's design was requested by someone who contacted me through facebook, and she requested anything pastel. I decided to go with some sweet and girly leopard print and a twist on the average ombre nails. The ombre nails came out absolutely amazing in person, the pictures really don't do them justice! I started with a white base, and got pastel purple, blue, and pink acrylic paint. I sponged it on like I normally would, except I added much more acrylic paint (so that it almost created that pooling puddle looking effect that's usually a bad thing!) and then I got another clean sponge and sponged where the colors connect, removing some of the paint and sponged around the entire nail very lightly removing very little of the paint. The result ended up looking like some awesome clouds, and I topped it all with China Glaze Fairy Dust to add some extra sparkle and fantasy.

Bridal taupe nails with white roses, rhinestones, and a silver accent nail!

Hello readers,

Sorry it's been a while since my last post. I've had these on for longer than usual and I think they look quite nice. I recently filed my nails down just to have a change, so they're pretty short. I matched my nails to my outfit for a party, the taupe and white roses are from my ivory lace dress, the rhinestones and silver accent nail are from my sandals. The colors I used are Essie Sand Tropez, Sally Hansen Celeb City, and white acrylic paint.

 Last but not least, this is the picture I put on my instagram account (@yazmin_nat). The lace in the background is from my lace dress.

I'm pretty happy with these, what do you think of these nails? Would you wear them? Let me know in the comments below!

Finger Paints Art You Wondering swatch!

Hello readers,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, i'm doing swatches again so in the meantime I'd like to show you my swatches of a stunning glitter polish. Art You Wondering is a lightly teal tinted jelly with lots of teal/ emerald green fine glitter. This polish can't be used much as a glitter topper, or over colors that are not similar to the glitter colors so it's better for layering over a green or teal color. I layered two coats of Art You Wondering over one coat of China Glaze Shower Together, and the results were beautifully eye catching. It was difficult for my camera to capture the color perfectly, the polish is leaning more towards a green in person, but not a huge difference. It dries fairly smooth, but I used topcoat anyways. On to the pictures!

 This last picture was taken in direct sunlight, you can see all the lovely glitter here!

Really stunning, any lover of blue/ teal and glitter polishes would definitely want this in their collection, stunning! The removal was a bit difficult because all of the fine glitter but nothing terrible. What do you think of this polish? Let me know in the comments below!

Stunning braided nails/ fishtail nails!

Hello readers,

This is my first ever attempt at braid nails/ fishtail nails, and I quite liked how they came out. I used a silver Essie color, i'm not sure what the name of the polish is though, it came without a sticker. I also used a silver striper, black and white acrylic paint, and then I later added Essie's Aruba Blue for some fun color. I might do a tutorial of this in the future, but right now i'm gonna be working on some 4th of July nail art that I will post soon.

This will be a picture heavy post, but on to the pictures!

I liked this quite a lot, what do you think of this mani? Let me know in the comments below!
