Mood Nails

This is one of my favorite manis of all time!  I could have taken photos of these all day because they are ever changing. This was my first time using the thermochromic liquid from Major Digit. I started with a gel polish base coat. That gets cured and then I applied two coats of the Opi Hello Kitty Black gel polish. After curing that, I applied a coat of the thermochromic liquid. It comes out as a beige color and when it completely air dries on its own, it appears as a matte coat on top of the black. Then you just apply a clear gel polish, cure it and the fun is ready to start! It color shifts in every color of the rainbow!  This was a 1 gram size container. It was enough to do all 10 nails with a little left over.  I have got to say that I really had a lot of fun with this one! I was constantly touching them and watching all the colors constantly transform before your eyes! Everywhere I went I got compliments!

How to take great nail art photos!

  I am definitely not a professional in this category but a lot of people have asked me how I take such great  nail art photos. So I wanted to share a few of my tips and tricks that I use to help your nail art photos really pop!                                                                              This first one is probably the most important one! It's all about the lighting! I personally will wait until I can go outside to get my shots. I feel that natural light is the best light. It always helps to make the color of your polish most accurate. Sometimes, the lighting that you have in your house has a yellowy tint to it and it can actually make your shade look like a completely different color than it was intended to be! If you are using a holo polish, the sunlight gives it the absolute best effects!   Try to have a background that is not busy! Sometimes too much going on in your photo can take away from your art! I always choose a plain or solid type of backgro

Revlon chroma chameleon Aquamarine swatch

Don't you love it when you find a polish in your collection that you haven't used in a long time, but it was totally awesome? Well, for me, it's this one by Revlon! The color is called Aquamarine and it is from the gorgeous, limited edition, chroma chameleon collection''. It is a perfect shade for Spring! 

Stars and Stripes

    It's always a fun challenge to create a patriotic design. You know that your color scheme will consist of Red, White and Blue. I used a Red and Blue from Sinful Colors called Gogo Girl and Endless Blue. The white is a stamping polish from Born Pretty store.  I've been trying to play around with a different nail shape, the coffin/ballerina shape.  I painted two nails in Endless Blue and two in Gogo Girl. I then stamped stars on the Blue and stripes on the Red. It takes a little bit of practice to actually get the stripes to all be straight!! 

Vintage Valentines

We're getting close to Valentine's day! For this look I wanted to go for that romantic, vintage vibe. I used more "earthy" tones for the base. The polish pictured, is from China Glaze called Dope Taupe. I did an off-white color on my middle  finger. It is by OPI, called My Vampire is Buff.  I thought that shade mixed with the pink roses gave it that vintage feel! Then I tied it together with the pink on my ring finger. That one is called Bali Mist by Sinful Colors. Then I just added the heart!

This is another polish from the China Glaze, Happily Never After collection. This one is called Sin-derella. It has a beautiful, warm glow that reminds me of sunset.
