Cotton Candy Gradient

Hellooooo. So. Slowly easing myself into blogging. Hopefully once I start school again my schedule will be more... Sorted out. Right now I wake up at like 9:00-10:00 and stay in my pajama's unless I have like three hours of tennis or going somewhere with my friends.

I started off with Pink Friday from the Nicki Minaj collection. I am not of a pink wearer so I actually haven't tried it (but I've dabbled a bit with it) until now. I was originally going to add the blue right away but I was in a hurry and left it pink-- Which I ended up loving for some reason-- for a couple days before adding the rest of the nail art.

I started off with two coats of Pink Friday which is your average light/medium pink Creme. Nothing to special, but for some reason I liked it (excuse bubbling on ring finger i was in a hurry). I then sponged on a bit of For Audrey and then stamped over it using a silver polish. It's sort of hard to tell, but the design is sort of a fish scale look... Not sure. A girl from my tennis class said it looked like mountains. Haha. The image was on a french tip plate so I did have to stamp it twice.

Anyway, I hoped you liked it and be sure to let me know what you think! xx

10 Day Challenge: Day 6

Hi everyone! I have some really exciting news! I have officially reached 400 followers! :D Thanks everyone! You guys rawk! In other news, something really sad happened yesterday. My nail broke. I was walking around and noticed that my nail seemed really square. I then realized it had been snapped!! Then, being the stupid person I am, I fiddled with it resulting in a really ugly nubbin. Despite my nubbin, I hope you enjoy my take on today's challenge :)

I don't know if anybody else noticed Ashley Bensons awesome nails in the September issue of Seventeen Magazine. I have been wanting to recreate them for the longest time but never got around to it. I figured now was the perfect opportunity.

I started off painting one half of the nail red, and the other half white. Then I stamped a fish scale (?) image off a Bundle Monster french tip plate. I stamped a different image on the other half. Afterwards I added little red polka dots on one half. Topped it all of with one coat of Pro-FX. Afterwards I noticed that on my red side, the "design" was black instead of red. Ashley's were red instead of black. Oh well, I don't have a stamp-able red anyway :P And on top of that, I ran out of my usual black so I had to use my backup one which isn't that opaque :/

Here is a pic of the nails:

Overall, even though they didn't turn out exactly the same, I think they look decent(: What about you??
