Red Gradient



Hello dear readers,

As you can see, again gradients!
This is in red and yellow with silver glitter and a small black star on the nail of the ring finger and the thumb.
To make the colors blend better, I used a medium orange.

It reminds me of reggae music, I'm not a fan of it, but depending on the mood I might listen it.
So, what reminds you of?




I used:

Maybelline base strengthener
Colorama Amarelo Sol
Colorama Laranja Citrico
Revlon 908
Impala Disco Ball
Colorama Glitter Prata
Colorada Extra Brillo


I wanted to thank Gwenn for the interview on her blog.

Dotted


Hello!


I was a bit disappeared, due to exams. Now more quiet, I dedicate part of my free time to my nails. This is an old design, one of the first. The base color was a little off, it may not help much the color of the points.
I was used to practice a lot but today it would not do the same.


I used:


Maybelline base strengthener
Colorama Hippie Chic
Maybelline 720
Revlon 908
Impala 048
Colorama Laranja Citrico
Colorama Extra Brillo

The Beginning: Blue Gradient


Hi everyone! Today I will write about my first design, is far from being one of my favorites, particularly because he was not very neat and the photo quality is pretty bad. Plus I had the nails too short.
It is a 3-tone blue gradient with glitter near the tips.
Not much more to narrow, this was the beginning:

I used:

Colorama NutriBase
Colorama Azul Celeste
Maybelline 630
Maybelline 898
Revlon 441
Colorama Extra Brillo


This is the Revlon 441. It's a beautiful glitter!


See you soon!

I love gradients!


After 2 weeks of relaxation, I have some new designs.
I want to start with this one, one of my favourites, the brown gradient. I made it a few weeks ago, you can see I had my nails shorter than now!

The first picture is a preview of the base colour. A mix between pearl and light brown.


This picture, is the final design of the gradient:

I used: 
Maybelline base strengthener
Maybelline 77
Maybelline 771
Maybelline 788
Colorama Glitter Prata
Colorama Extra Brillo

Hope you like it!

Violet French


Hi!

This is an old design, one of my first. Not one of my favorites, but I like it. It's like a French but diagonally with other colors. I added dashes on the dark side, near the union between the two colors to add a detail.

-I used-

Colorama NutriBase
Colorama Rosa Tropical
Maybelline 250
Maybelline 77
Colorama Extra Brillo

Funny thing: The next day, at work, they gave us cup cakes and I got one that matched my nails, so here's the photo! (Sorry for the poor quality, was taken with the phone!).



Thanks for stopping by! :)

Candies


Hello!
My first post, is about my favourite design, I called it 'Candies' because many people said my nails looks like candies with this fresh colors.
For gradients, I usually use a little make up sponge. It makes the fusion more soft.
The day I did this, I was wearing a Lacoste T-Shirt, and my new awesome lipstick from Dior, n° 566.

-Nail polishes used in this design-

Rimmel 058 (Collection 'I love fruities')

I hope you enjoyed it!

Welcome!


Hi everyone! I'm starting my new blog. A couple of months ago, I started watching some videos on YouTube, about makeup and nail art. So I thought, I could do something like that, to show my ideas and have an excuse to go shopping! :) Thanks for stopping by!
