Spun Sugar Ombré

Hello everyone!

Today I decided my nails have waited enough for a new manicure, therefore I brought my summery colours out of the box, a few toothpicks, the beeswax balm and spent about 2 hours doing an ombré manicure while watching "Eat, Pray, Love".

As I had no any other ideas, I chose to do a Spun Sugar manicure which turned out way better than expected and below is the best shot of my nails.

I used a gradient with sunny yellow, acid yellow, apple green, light turquoise and teal. And fortunately, I managed to take a few photos with my sister's phone before she leaves. Below are some pictures in artificial light (with and without flash).

(This one's actually in both natural and artificial light)

I'm absolutely in love with this kind of manicure, it's definitely my no. 1 WOW nail art, the technique is easy to use and it's definitely a good option if you want to impress with your skills.

That's it for now, don't forget about my discount code which you can use when you purchase from BornPrettyStore.com and get a 10% discount when you place the order. I'll see you all really soon. Kisses!

Skittle Mani

Hello!

I'm not used yet to shorties and doing nail-art on them, but I couldn't wait anymore, so I grabbed (about) 13 polishes and cancelled everything for more than 2 hours to do this skittle mani.

Left hand (thumb to pinky): Glitter Gradient, Summer Ombré, Ruffian, Pink Galaxy, Caviar Chains.
Right hand (thumb to pinky): Glitter Flowers, Glitter Sandwich, Glitter Gradient, Caviar Chain, Light Ombré.

Here are the polishes I used as bases: Gabrini Elegant 300 (base coat), Leydi 700 (top coat), Golden Rose Paris 209 (yellow jelly), Golden Rose Paris in Forest Green (no number, sorry, I had to give it a name), Golden Rose Care + Strong 179 (neon orange-coral shimmer crelly), Golden Rose Care + Strong 172 (neon pink-fuchsia crelly), Maybelline Colo Rama 654 Super Power Blue (azure créme).

The polishes I used for the models are: Classics 180 (multi-colored & holo glitter topper), Essence Time For Romance (multi-dimensional round glitters, hexes and holo glitter in a sheer crimson base), Essence Chic Reloaded (black multichrome polish; shifts to purple, green and, sometimes, to golden), Essence Absolutely Blue (baby blue créme), Maybelline Colo Rama 654 Super Power Blue, Golden Rose Care + Strong in Silver (full-coverage silver shimmer mixed with fine silver glitters; again, no number on the tag), no-name white nail art polish, Golden Rose Paris 206 (pale pinkish-lilac crelly), Golden Rose Paris 108 (eggplant créme), Golden Rose Paris 209, Golden Rose Care + Strong 172.

I also used caviar beads, which I applied one by one onto the nails with a toothpick dipped in clear polish.

Below are some photos. I hope you enjoyed it, and I'll see you really soon, probably with a summer-y ombré manicure. Kisses! xx
