Today, I have a recent popular nail trend, rainbow gradient!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What makes this trend unique is the vertical gradient and multitude of colors. I need to do more vertical gradients!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this look, I started with a white polish as my base. I then used the sponge technique mentioned in my last post, but sponged on vertically instead. I topped it off with China Glaze Fairy Dust for a little extra sparkle. Try to stick with colors of the same shade (i.e. all neon, pastels, brights, etc.), so the rainbow looks consistent. This nail art literally popped and got lots of attention. </div>

Happy New Year everyone! Hope your year is great so far!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I have for you some easy nail art combining gradient, chevron, and studs!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbMro6QNlCBiUL6Z1HgltBjOew4FGpwbtwvDGSo5jMfBwUo_r-73FjMaqmep7wzc2UsYAhmSAdgAsOE2vYBzIAExcuQi7l4BXvGeFNedy9pmOsaMLYqU2Mg4pZdLkdUwq9ugcQ1NWcjtw/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbMro6QNlCBiUL6Z1HgltBjOew4FGpwbtwvDGSo5jMfBwUo_r-73FjMaqmep7wzc2UsYAhmSAdgAsOE2vYBzIAExcuQi7l4BXvGeFNedy9pmOsaMLYqU2Mg4pZdLkdUwq9ugcQ1NWcjtw/s320/photo.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The above was simple enough, but a little time consuming waiting for each coat to dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how you can accomplish this look:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<ol>
<li>Start with your base polish on all fingers. Usually a lighter color is best for gradients. I used China Glaze Refresh mint.</li>
<li>Once dry, do the gradient on selected fingers. Pick polishes a few shades darker, but still in the same color family. I like to use a makeup sponge for my gradients. I paint each color in a horizontal stripe on a piece of foil. Then I take my sponge, dip it in the polish and sponge it on my nail. You will have to do this 3-4 times in order to get the right coverage. Apply top coat once done.</li>
<li>While waiting on the top coat to dry, go ahead and apply your glitter or studs. I used both! The glitter on my pinkie is Sephora by OPI Only Gold for Me.</li>
<li>Once your gradient is dry, take two pieces of striping tape to form a V shape with the top pointing toward your cuticle.</li>
<li>Paint the outer edges white.</li>
<li>Finish with top coat!</li>
</ol>
</div>

Hi Everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry, I haven't posted in a while. I started a new job and have been very busy. If you don't already, follow my Instagram @the_beauty_b where I update more frequently!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recently won a giveaway from NailIt magazine, which was very exciting because I never win anything!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I received some prety Layla polishes and caviar beads</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqNmFBN6ZeIrZZC6qbNuhpl0QhoJZW8jmg1wk-ejKkzZZKc3LViClYzUk4xw1PgkTjawvfq8g6zU08BjSBZy4lgHCU-UuVvJve9sZvNjcu3JtPax1HKdyOd2fqC7Wxb81SWjQGeHdm2xw/s1600/Nails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqNmFBN6ZeIrZZC6qbNuhpl0QhoJZW8jmg1wk-ejKkzZZKc3LViClYzUk4xw1PgkTjawvfq8g6zU08BjSBZy4lgHCU-UuVvJve9sZvNjcu3JtPax1HKdyOd2fqC7Wxb81SWjQGeHdm2xw/s400/Nails.jpg" width="294" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a hot pink Layla polish as my base (it didn't have a name) and the caviar beads on my ring finger. I did put topcoat on because I feel without topcoat they fall off by the end of the day. The beads lasted through the week with topcoat! For my middle finger I used a dotting tool to make the dots. For the stripes I used good 'ole scotch tape. Fairly simple manicure, but an impactful end result!</div>

Hi Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a nail art look using China Glaze Swanky Silk which is a beautiful rose gold.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYZHv-YfSD-qndJHMmvPoBKjcWbu_Ju9QnCfpOoVy1jZtsBpJ5oiV5F2tck24hqhu4MJ0DGpzDMfCwk8E1LYpsaGoHEsrlQnpqxgReXA7cl34VmIVidh0emTSHcPl25qW5MvS-nnjmadg/s1600/Gold.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYZHv-YfSD-qndJHMmvPoBKjcWbu_Ju9QnCfpOoVy1jZtsBpJ5oiV5F2tck24hqhu4MJ0DGpzDMfCwk8E1LYpsaGoHEsrlQnpqxgReXA7cl34VmIVidh0emTSHcPl25qW5MvS-nnjmadg/s400/Gold.jpg" width="346" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This mani was fairly simple; I used China Glaze Swanky Silk on each finger and China Glaze Razzle Me, Dazzle Me on my middle finger. I absolutely love this glitter! It's so unique and creates a cool look on the nail. For my black polish I used Sally Hansen Midnight in NY and striping tape to create the striped looks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On my pinkie I have the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/gold-square-stud-rhinestone-acrylic-nail-p-2860.html">2mm gold square studs</a> from the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/">Born Pretty Store</a>. I absolutely love these little studs and they are perfect for all kinds of<a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/"> nail art</a>. If you haven't shopped here yet, I highly recommend it. They have tons of nail items at a great price. They were also generous enough to give my readers a 10% off coupon code.

Hi Lovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was inspired to do a blue mani due to all the recent Spring rain we've been having here in Texas! Also, it happens to be Autism awareness month, so I've been seeing a lot of blue nails for Autism out there and thought I'd do one too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Colors used were: Zoya Jo (medium blue), China Glaze Midnight Mission (dark blue), Essie Borrowed and Blue (light blue), and OPI Last Friday Night (glitter).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really wanted to do a mix of designs here, so I thought ombre, striping, fishtail, and a glitter gradient would be fun! I have to say this is one of my favorite manis to date.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me know if anyone is interested in a post on a tutorial for any of the above techniques. I know there are probably a million out there already, but I'd be happy to post how I do it.</div>

Hi Everyone!</div>

Today I have for you a pastel ombré look I created using a variety of polishes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my first time attempting ombré with a makeup sponge and it turned out pretty well!</div>

I used OPI Alpine Snow as my white base. Then I sponged on the following colors from Charming Charlie: Lovely in Lilac, Such a doll, and Such a Peach for the pinkish nail. Then used Charming Charlie What a Lime, as well as China Glaze Refresh Mint and OPI What's with the Cattitude for the greenish nail. I'm looking forward to trying another ombré!</div>

Hi Everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I have for you You're Such a Budapest from the OPI Euro Centrale collection. This is my new favorite spring polish! At first I was unsure, but it is gorgeous on. It's a perfect spring lavender. It goes on a little thin, so you may need 3 coats depending on how thick your coats are. Is anyone else as in love with this as I am?</div>
