Sponged Gradient Halloween Nails

This time I decided to do a Halloween look since it's right around the corner. First I applied 2 coats of "Roguish Red" by China Glaze from the Wicked Collection. And then I applied the sponge gradient using an additional 2 colors; the "Bizarre Blurple" (wicked collection) & "Smoke & Ashes" also from China Glaze. I later on decided to put a gold glitter over the ring finger (one coat). Lemme know what you think...

Neon Summer Sponging Gradient

I did this to have a nice fun summer look & practicing my sponging. I seem to be getting better. I started out with "Jail Bait" by Spoiled & moved on to "Forget Now" by Sinful Colors & last but, definitely not least... "Traffic Jam" by China Glaze. I love how it came out and will continue to sponge trying to make beautiful manicures every time.

Thanks for checking out my blog... Feel free to subscribe!

Sponge over Velvet Bow

This is another sponge I attempted. It is not as sparkly as hoped for but, can easily be fixed. Over "Velvet Bow" by China Glaze I applied "Sugar Sugar" by Sinful Colors followed by "Chunky Holo Fuchsia" by Kleancolor.

If there is anything in particular you'd like to see up please don't hesitate to ask.

Sponge over Cinderella

I decided to practice more on sponging so I went with "Neptune" by Sinful Colors over "Cinderella" also by Sinful Colors & moving on to "Thinking of Blue" by Sally Hansen (complete) & then on the tips I wanted it darker and sparkly so I added "Blazing Blue" by Sally Hansen (insta-dry) followed by "Stone Cold" by Orly.


It doesn't appear to be as blended as I had hoped for but, is still nice looking.

Valentine's Day Animal Print Recreation

I was inspired to recreate this nail design I originally found on Nails in Nippon. This is my first time using the Sponge method & I am still improving on Konad Stamping. She only used polish for the first coat, then she used Acrylic Paint which I do not have. She also did her tiger stripes freehand which, I also have never tried therefore I am not so sure I would be good at it yet.

I used 2 coats of Catrice White polish, next I sponged Essie's French Affair over the white, then proceeded to sponge a Red polish (I used NYC's 131A). After that I used Milani's 584 RED Glitter over the tip area. Once it was dry I used Konad Stamping to create the animal stripes & topped it off with Seche Vite top coat.
