Tropical Nails For Challenge

Next theme for #glamnailschallengejuly is tropical. I wanted something a little different besides the usual palm trees. 

I started out with a super bright base of Cirque Color's Retail Therapy and Euphoria in a gradient. Once I had my base down I stamped the negative space flip flops from Uber Chic Beauty Beach Please plate with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Sea Creatures

There are so many plates out there with all types of sea creatures that you'll never have the same look twice. It is a very busy mani but I just love all the colors and the gradient is my favorite. 

My base gradient is made up of Essie's St. Tropez and Zoya's Harbor. I am a little rusty when it comes to gradients but I will just keep practicing. 

The white waves are from BM-509 with Mo You White Knight. On my thumb the jellyfish is stamped from UberChic Beach Please with Mo You August Plum and Pink Wednesday. Narwal on pointer is from UberChic mini nautical with Black Knight. Sea Horse is August Plum from Beach Please. Hammerhead shark is from mini nautical again with Black Knight. The sea turtle is from Mo You Princess 04 with Painted Polish Stamped in Greenery.

Hibiscus Nails

I was really hoping that it would be a more noticeable difference for my gradient but these are still pretty. 

The hot pink is Blushing Queens and the coral is Bam both by Cirque Colors. I did put a white base down just to make them more vibrant. 

UberChic Beauty's plate Nice & Negative plate has the perfect hibiscus negative space stamp. I used Mo You London Black Knight to stamp.

Jaws Nails

This has got to be my favorite mani I have done in a very very long time. I have been shying away from gradients and now that's all I want to do.

I recently ordered some of the new Zoya summer collection and the two blues just screamed ocean to me. The bright turquoise, which is undoubtedly my favorite, is called Harbor while the deeper blue is Maren.

The shark design on the new Uberchic Beauty Just Beachy plate is just perfect for Jaws nails. 

The grey is Mo You London Silver Fox, the black is Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, the white is Mo You White Knight, and I added the red last minute which is Cirque Colors Strawberry Fields.

Neon Raindow Gradient with Snowflakes

My camera absolutely hated these nails. No matter how hard I tried it just did not wanted to focus on them. Neons always make my camera go wonky. Anyways, I got my hands on the UberChic Christmas plate recently and I just had to play with it right away. I have seen so many people use neon bases underneath the snowflakes but I put my own little spin on it by doing a gradient across all of my nails. I used almost the entire Pipe Dream Polish A Night in Vegas Collection, except for the teal shade, for my gradient and then went in with the stamp. I do wish I had used different shades on my thumb since you can barely tell a difference between the orange and pink.

Please ignore the bandaid you see in some of the photos. As I was trying to open my Color Club Snowflakes polish I managed to break the bottle and it sliced my finger open. Never fear though I managed to save the polish by decanting it into an older top coat bottle I had.

So let's start with the thumb and list the colors across from there. I have 110 Degrees blended with On the List. My pointer finger is On the List with V.I.P. Pass. My middle finger is V.I.P. Pass with All In. Ring finger is All In with High Roller. Lastly, my pinky is High Roller with Light of Day. I used the Snowflakes polish over top of each nail to help blend the colors before I stamped with Mundo de Unas Black. I used Glisten and Glow's Hk Girl Top Coat to have a glossy finish to the look.

I wanted to quickly apologize for being so absent within the past couple of months. There has been a lot going on that made sitting down for nails almost impossible. We are finished with our remodeling so I should be able to go back to having down time again. Thank you to all those who are still with me, rather it be here, my instagram, or my facebook. I appreciate your support so much, It's what keeps me going. Also I am hoping to resume my Foiled Shadow Fridays again here soon. I am having some kind of reaction to my contacts but my Dr. is working on getting it fixed. So hopefully this week or next I will have a new look for you. Once again Thank You so much for your understanding and support. I love you all!

Neon Gradients with Stamping

Next theme for #WNAC is gradient. I did a green to purple gradient which I have been wanting to do for forever just never seemed to get around to it. I just think these colors mesh so well together.

I have two coats of Orly french white as my base coat. I sponged on Orly key lime twist, Orly skinny dip, and China Glaze plur-ple. I dabbed up and down and side to side to help blend the colors together. I sponged it about 6 times to make sure I got the opacity and gradient I wanted. I used a coat of out the door to help everything blend and dry before I stamped. Once dry I used Born Pretty Store plate bp24 with Mundo de unas white to stamp on the floral image. One more coat of out the door to seal in the stamping.

Fish Tail Theme

I am posting a bit early for the next theme in #WNAC because I want to save Friday's post for my Foiled Shadow Friday. The new theme is fish tail which I am not the biggest fan of. I have only done this design a few times because it's just not my usual style of nail art. This is the first time I did it using striping tape and I have to say I like it better that way.

Two coats of Orly french white as my base color, striping tape is from Amazon, all the colors are from China Glaze, the orange is home sweet house music, the pink is glow with the flow, and the purple is plur-ple, for top coat this time I used IMN out the door. 

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
