Floral NAIL design

I love spring and summer flowers so much! That's why i made this easy and simple mani featuring flowers. It is super easy. You just need 3  nail polishes of your choice along with a dotting tool (or a toothpick or anything you can use as a dotting tool). I really hope you like it and maybe try it out yourself! 

Ok, so here are the things I used: 

•Orange polish (or Any light colored polish)

•light blue polish

•Gray polish (or Any darker colored polish)

•gold polish (this Will be FOR the center of the flowers

•Dotting tool (IF you don't have one, you can just use a toothpick or make your own like I did. I just used a sowing pin and pushed it to a pencil eraser and voila!) 

Step one: base colors

The first thing you'll need to do is apply a base coat to protect your natural nails from getting stained. You can really use any clear polish, even a topcoat. Then choose your base colors. I painted thumb, ring and pinky fingers orange, and the pointer and middle fingers a mint color. 

Step 2: paint the flowers

Now use the dotting tool and dip it in the nail polish you want the flowers to be. Make small dots close to each other in a circle and that will create your flowers. 

Step 3: finish the flowers and top coat

Finish the flowers by dipping the dotting tool in a gold colored nail polish and painting a small dot in the center of each flower. This will make the flowers look so much better. Finally, seal all of your nails with a top coat of your choice.

Easy Colurful Ombre Gradient Nails

Nothing shouts spring and summer than bold bright fun colors. This nail design is perfect because it is an explosion of just that! This design looks complicated, but it is the funnest and easiest to do. It's a bit messy and you need quite a few polishes, but it's all worth it!!! It kinda reminds me of tye die rainbow or a beautiful beach sunset.

Here's what I used: 



 Try to use colors that are opaque and vibrant. You do not have to use these exact polishes and brands. This is just what I had.

• White polish: Sally Hansen Xtreme wear -White on
• Cosmetic sponge

(White is for the base color. Having a white color as the base will allow the colors to pop and show more vibrant than if you do  not use a white base. Important: Allow the white to dry COMPLETELY  before you start to sponge or else the sponge will stick to the polish and the end result will not look nice.

• Blue polish: Sally Hansen Insta dry- Blue By!
• Purple polish: kleancolor lavenbaby
• Pink polish: Sally Hansen insta dry fast fuchsia 
• Orange polish: loreal boozy beach
• Yellow polish kleancolor neon yellow

Once you have your colors ready, line them up near you so can have easy access to them. Line them up in the order that you will be using them and loosen the cap so that when you are ready to start you can just applithe colors to the spoge faster. Start by applying the darkest color to the sponge horizontaly and go down using the next color until you have all the colors on the sponge. Try to do this fast to the polish will not dry on the sponge. 

• Nail polish reover or acetone - I used a polish remver from target. 
• Top coat- Nail envy Acrylic strong. 

Finishing with a topcoat is very important. Not only will it add shine to your finished nails, but it helps blend the colors together. Trust me, it makes a difference.

Maybeline Color Show Nail Falsies

I had never tried press on nails before, so when I spotted these at my local dollar store, I had to get them. They are called "maybelline New York color show nail falsies". Maybelline is a pretty well known brand and I really liked the design with the shinny black and silver metal outline. Here ill list what I liked and disliked about them. 

Likes:

•easy to apply. Since they are press on, you don't have to worry about nail glue or air bubbles. All you have to do is peel the adhesive and press it nail and you're good to go. 

•The design. I really like the  design and color combination. It is very simple yet it looks very nice. I'm sure that if I tried to freehand an outline on my nails, the results would not be pretty. 

•Price. I think they are great for $1. The pack also comes with 24 nails in 12 sizes, so you have a nice size selection. 

•shape and size of the nails- they come in an oval shape and the size is medium to long. 

What I disliked

•durability. These nails lasted me less than one day before they atarted to fly off. I guess they're ok for a one day manicure. 

•stick on adhesive. It was easy to apply, but the adhesive was too thick in my opinion. I could feel I was wearing fake nails and they did not feel durable. 

•shape of the nails. I listed this as something I liked, but I also disliked it because you couldn't really file them to make them shorter or else you would ruin the shape. So you have to keep that size and shape. 

Bottom line.

 I would probably not repurchase these nails. I liked the design and shape, but hated the adhesive and thief durability. I would wear them again, but use nail glue instaead.

CHRISTMAS MINION NAILS - DESPICABLE ME 2 inspired

Aren't minions just so cute, but they are more adorable with Santa hats on. t's the holiday season and Xmas themed minions are the perfect design to have on your nails this season! I used a total of 7 polishes, striping tape, a black nail polish striped and dotting tools to create these Santa minions. Here's a list of all the items I used in case you want to try these out your self. If you do, please share it with me, I'd love to see! (@glamified92 on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Google plus, or youtube)

List of items I used: (remember, you can always change up the polishes to what you  already have)

Step 1: paint all nails yellow

•Yellow polish - Sally Hansen Xtreme wear Mellow Yellow. I applied this polish as the base color for all my nails. It will represent the minion's skin. It did require 2-3 coats for the color to completely show. You will need for this to dry completely before going to the next step. 

Step 2: place two pieces of striping tape in each nail. Place one on the top 1/3 of the nail, and the other one at the bottom 1/3. These will basically serve as stencils for the next step. I got my striping tape from amazon.

Step 3: paint the minion's hat and pants

•Sally Hansen Insta dry Blue Bye- use this blue polish to paint below where you placed the lower striping tape. This will be the minion's pants.

•Sally Hansen hard as nails Tough Love- this is the red polish. Use this to paint above the top striping tape and this will be the mionion's Santa hat. 

Remove the striping tapes.

•use the white polish (Sally Hansen insta dry white on) and use a doting tool to paint white dots below the red to finish the hat. 

Step 4: Paint the minions eyes and mouth. 

•phantom fright 2 way nail art brush and pen in black- I used the striped part to make a horizontal line in the center of the nail. This will be the minions eyeglass strap.

•Sally Hansen Instadry silver sweep- use this with a large sized dotting tool and make a dot in the center where you made the black stripe. 

•Sally Hansen Xtreme wear white on- now use a smaller sized doting tool whith this white polish to make a dot over the grey. 

•finally use the black polish from the black stripe on a dotting tool and make a small dot over the silver and white silvers. This will be the eye pupil and will complete the eye. 

•sinful colors hottie- this is a blue glitter topcoat. I used this over the blue to add shine to the minion's pants.
