Gradient Challenge: Day 5 & 6

Hey everyone! I can't believe tomorrow will be the last day of the challenge Kelly (Nailpocalypse) and I are doing!

 I was not able to post yesterday since the power went out. Have any of you been having horrible storms?

So for Day 5: Watermarble, I tried like 3 times and I couldn't get the polish to spread. So I gave up on the third time. Excuse my messy cuticles, I sat there for 10 minutes trying to remove all the excess polish but it wouldn't come off. So here it is, definitely not my best work!

*If you missed Kelly's water marble, don't forget to check it out!



-China Glaze: Frostbite
-Sally Hansen: Mint Sorbet

For day 6: Any Color, I decided to do my favorite color combo for gradients! Yellow, orange, and pink. I think they go so well together! Enjoy!

Gradient Challenge: Day 4: Pink

Hello lovely ladies! Today is the 4th day of the challenge Kelly (Nailpocalypse) and I are doing! Since it is a Wednesday, we decided why not make it a pink gradient?!

So, I chose a stamp that looks a bit like water marble design. Mainly to prepare myself for tomorrows challenge!   Enjoy!

KKCenterHk Review: Nail Art Decoration

Hey everyone! I have another review for you all! So I love really girly and pink stuff so I chose these pink bows. I love how cute they are but I think they would look better on acrylic nails! Anyway, enjoy!

*Link to Nail Art Decorations: Pink Bow






-Wet n Wild: Tickled Pink
-Stamp: M57
-Sally Hansen Chrome Pen: Pink Chrome
-Nail Bows
-Seche Vite

My thoughts:
-A bit pricey for 5 bows ($6.83)
-Perfect size for my nails
-However since they are a bit thick/bulky, I think they would look better on acrylics!
-Sticks well w/ nail glue

Overall, they were ok. I personally don't like bulky things on my nails so I'm not a big fan on these!

Rainbow Gradient

Hey everyone! For today, I chose to do an animal print with a rainbow gradient! I'm not sure whether I like it, i feel like the pink/orange gradient doesn't go well with the other colors.

I'm really liking gradients right now! They are super easy and i love using as many colors as I can in a mani! Enjoy!

Cafe au lait & Im back!!

Hey everyone! I can't believe its been almost two week since my last post! I want to apologize, I've  been having a rough time in my life (I even stopped doing my nails for 2 weeks) but everything is a lot better now! So this mani I actually did a week ago and just never got to post it! It reminds me of espresso art. Enjoy :)
