Hello Gorgeous!
Today I have one of my favorite manicures I have done so far to share with you all. It combines sponge gradient and waterfall techniques.
On my pointer and middle finger I started with two coats of Formula X's Farenheit. This is a darker red toned polish. I then used to two coats of Illamasqua's Scorch polish on my thumb and pinkie finger which is a gorgeous bright white creme polish. Once they dried, I used two coats of Formula X's Chaotic to add the black spot details. This is honestly one of my favorite black and white nails looks because the different size specks just give the nail such a cool, edgy, almost graffiti like look. Definitely my favorite of this type of polish in any brand, hands down. I then took a clean sponge and some black nail art polish and sponged along the upper portion of my pointer and middle finger close to the cuticle line. Once that dried I used Formula X's Sephora Rouge polish, which is a bright red polish to sponge on the tips of my pointer and middle finger to give it that bright pop of red. I absolutely loved this gradient. The bright red at the tip really made it come to life.
Lastly I used white and silver glitter art polish to do the waterfall stripes at the tops of my pointer and middle finger. For the ring finger I did a gel rockstar nail using Cartwright's Ultra Fine glitter in Very Cranberry. For a top coat I used Out The Door so everything dried super speedy!
What do you guys think? Hope you are having a great summer!!!

4th of July Nails
Hello Gorgeous!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog! Today I did a quick and easy manicure for 4th of July.
The red polish I used is a gelshine polish from Sephora by OPI called High Maintenance. The white polish is a generic white gel polish I got off of EBAY for like a dollar. I did two coats of a blue specks polish by Formula X on top of the white called TNT. Lastly I had painted a star on my pointer finger using a silver glitter nail art polish. I just love the shine that gel polishes give off, if only they weren't so hard on your nails. What are you guys sporting on your nails this 4th?
Have a fabulous and safe holiday! I know I personally will be cringing every time a firework goes off near me. After getting hit in the head with a random cardboard tube from a parachute guy firework a few summers ago from a whole field away, I am terrified of anything flying at my head. You should have seen me when I went to the Cubs game last week every time a foul ball got hit. YIKES!
XOXO,
Jeannie
