Hello Lacquer Luvers! My name is Jessica & I'm
absolutely honored to be here with you guys today. I met Mrs. Girly Bits in a
polish group on Facebook a few years ago and am so excited she asked me to
guest post for her! For those of you who don't know, I'm the nail blogger over
at luvmylacquer.blogspot.com and I LOVE nail art. It's sort of my
"thing." While I enjoy swatching, I always feel the urge to put
something fun, pretty, or wild on my nails. Today I exercised my nail art
skills and came up with a mani that incorporates two of my favorite kinds of
nail art: stamping and gradients. So let's get to it, shall we?
When I first sat down to do this manicure I had a ridiculous amount of supplies
and polishes in front of me. This is pretty much how I get going. Some days I
have a plan but for the most part I just wing it. So after a good while of
looking at various nail stamping plates, striping tape, dotting tools, my water
marble cup, makeup sponges, studs, and a colorful array of color in bottles it
came to me!
My manicure began with a base coat and two coats of my base color, Essie
Marshmallow. Using my makeup sponge, I created a gradient using Essie
Marshmallow, Bottle Service & DJ Play That Song. I added some extra pretty
on top of that with the help of a dazzling scattered holographic glitter polish
by Orly called Prisma Gloss Silver.
For the stamping part of my manicure I went for my signature stamp. I've used
this plate so many times! M72 image plate comes in a set from BornPrettyStore
and has a floral image that comes in three sizes. Using my Konad white stamping
polish, I alternated the size of the flowers on all of my nails. My look was
complete with a shiny coat of HKGirl topcoat.
I am so happy with how this turned out! I have been working on my gradients
lately and although this one isn't perfect, I think it's a really pretty
combination of colors. I would love to know what you all think of my manicure
and what your favorite type of nail art is! If you are interested in seeing
