Blue and White Gradient Nails!

Blue and White Gradient Nails!

Rating: **

Finished Nails
Tools
I used:
  • Barry M 629 Matte White
  • Barry M 306 Blueberry
  • Color Show 661 Ocean Blue
  • Barry M Quick Dry Top Coat 704
  • Striping tape
  • Makeup sponge

Step 1

Paint your nails white. 


Step 2

Stick 3 or 4 pieces of striping tape across your nails. I also find it is a good idea to put liquid latex around your nails when doing gradients as it makes cleaning up your fingers much easier!


Step 3

Using the sponge, paint white, pale blue, and dark blue stripes on it and dab it on each nail to create the gradient. You may need to reapply the varnish a few times for each finger. Once you are happy with the gradient, carefully and quickly peel off the tape in the reverse order you applied it, and the liquid latex if you've used it.



Finally, cover your nails in the top coat to protect them.

New Year's Nails!

New Year's Nails!

Rating: ****


Apologies for our mini hiatus but we're back now!

This is a little late for New Year's Day, but an idea for next year.


Finished Nails
Tools

I used:
  • Collection 2000 44 Parma Violet
  • Chit Chat Violet 61856
  • La Femme Top Coat 118
  • Glitter Nails 20 Silver
  • Stars
  • Sponge
  • Paintbrush
  • Tweezers (optional)

Step 1

Sponge your nails with the blue. Make it nice and thick at the bottom, fading out towards the top and leave a small section at the top uncovered.


Step 2

Paint over the tips with the blue sparkles.



Step 3

Using a paintbrush, add a line of silver sparkles at an angle across each nail.



Step 4

Add stars to each nail, on either side of the silver line. Paint over the whole nail with the top coat and then place them on your nails. You can use tweezers if you need.


Finally cover the design with a top coat. You might need several top coats to ensure that the stars stay on your nails.
