Easy Stained Glass Gradient Nail Art Design, Video Tutorial and Born Store Nail Art Studs Review

Image
Hey guys! Today is quick post to share with you this design I did. For the middle, ring & thumb nails I did an easy sponge gradient and stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM-208 to give it a stained glass effect. For the solid nails I used a tear drop nail art stud from a nail art stud wheel I got from Born Pretty Store . The wheel includes a variety of shapes including hearts, stars, leaf shaped, tear drops, textured squares, and textured circles in both silver and gold. These studs are easy to apply & the variety of shapes is so convenient for doing different nail art designs. I chose the teardrop stud for this design because I thought it looked nice with the design and also because I have never used teardrop studs on any of my designs before so I wanted to switch it up a little, lol. I also added a glow in the dark top coat, but couldn't capture it in pics. Hope you like! I included a video tutorial below so you can see how I achieved this look! Check it out! : ) P.S. ...

Hey guys! This is just a quick post to show you this super easy ombre gradient mani I did. I apologize because it looks little messy right now because I didn't clean the excess polish off the sides of my nails & off my cuticles yet because I was going to do a nail design over this & I like to clean them at the very end when my mani is complete. I assure you this looks much nicer when it's all cleaned up, lol. I posted a video tutorial to show you a simple technique to achieve this ombre look. I hope you like!

Ombre Gradient Sponge Nail Art Design & Video Tutorial

Image
Hey guys! I'm back! Hope all is well with you. I am so behind with my posts but hoping to get them all out soon! ...So ombre nails have become sooo popular that I decided to do a video tutorial showing how to do a simple ombre gradient using a makeup sponge & 2 polish colors. I first painted my nails white & let dry, but that's an optional step. I just think the colors show up better over a white base but you can experiment with different base colors or just apply a clear base. I then sponged on my gradient using two polish colors, teal & pink. You can experiment with different color combinations of your choice or choose a light & dark shade in the same color family to create a nice gradient effect. You can also choose more than 2 colors if you'd like, there's tons of possibilities! There are also several techniques for producing ombre nails, I will be posting another ombre tutorial soon where I will only be sponging one...

Hey everyone, it's been awhile since I did a post, been a little busy, hope all is well with everyone. For this design I did a gradient effect by first patting on a white polish base with an eyeshadow sponge applicator. (The sponge applicator really helps to create a nice gradient effect; it's an easy way to fade colors into one another to create an almost airbrushed look. A makeup sponge could also be used.) I then patted on silver polish diagonally across the nail with the sponge & then patted on pink polish diagonally, going the opposite direction as the silver so that the silver & pink criss-cross each other right at the center of the nail. (It's ok if some of the white base shows, it adds to the effect.) Then I took a very light glittery silver shade & patted a very small amount right in the center of the nail where the silver & pink polishes meet to create a more blended & highlighted effect. Then I painted on a clear glitter polish, I find...

Gradient Effect Konadicure

    Hey guys! Welcome to my new & improved page! I finally stopped procastinating and gave My Pretty Nailz a makeover!!! Do you likey? Hope so!!!     Now on to the nails! For this next design I wanted to create somewhat of an airbrushed look, with one color gradually fading into another. To do this I used eyeshadow sponge applicators to make a nice gradient effect. First I applied some white polish to a clean applicator and simply patted the color on to my entire nail. I did this to each nail. Then I took my blue polish (the colors I used are listed below) and applied some to the applicator and patted it in a diagonal line across my nail starting from the lower corner going across to the opposite upper corner. (It doesn't have to be perfect) Then I took my pink polish & patted it on just as I did the blue except I had the pink going in the opposite direction as the blue so the colors...

Hey guys! Here's my very glittery ombre konadicure! I used a pink chrome shade as a base color, then I added my glitter polishes, fading out from a silver glitter polish to a pink glitter polish & then konaded on my design. Very glitterful! As you can imagine, this was a pain to remove, lol. Anyways, hope you like! M63 - Love4Nails Rosebud, Wn'W Sparked, Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty, Konad Special Black XOXO, Deriniti

Hey guys! This is an older design I did. For the base I did a gradient effect using an eyeshadow applicator & sponging from light to dark purple. I used a light, medium & dark purple to create the fade effect, but I can't remember which exact polishes I used for this, sorry. I do know they weren't opaque, they were all shimmery polishes. After the base dried I konaded on my white flowers. I think this design would be cuter with some clear rhinestones added to the center of the flowers, not sure why I didn't do that, I'm guessing I didn't have my rhinestone wheel at the time I did these.
