Hey Guys!

I hope everything is going well! Here in the midwest we are be slammed by crazy snow storms so I decided to add a bit of color to my nails with these fun and easy smoosh nails. I was also able to use 4  of my Sinful Colors untried which is another bonus.

I used: 
Sinful Colors Tempest
Sinful Colors Lavender
Sinful Colors Out of Bounds
Sinful Colors Love Bombs
2 Nail Stamper Heads
Liquid Latex Barrier
Lint Roller

To get this look: 

  1. Apply Liquid Latex Barrier around cuticles on all fingers and let dry
  2.  Apply favorite base coat and let it dry completely
  3. Take Temptest, Lavender and Out of Bounds and dot them randomly on stamper head
  4. Take the 2nd stamper head and smoosh onto polish swirling until colors are well mixed
  5. Quickly press stamper head onto nail to transfer paint, repeat on all nails.
  6. Apply favorite top coat and let dry
  7. On ring and pinky finger apply 1 coat of Love Bombs glitter topper
  8. Pick out blue hearts and place them individually on nails. Finish with top coat.

I'm so happy with the finished look, I originally waited to stamp over the design but I couldn't decide on what image I wanted so I decided to top it with  my new beautiful top Love Bombs(from Sinful Colors Valentine Day 2015 collection).

I've done I look similar to this about a year ago using saran wrap and it was one of my 1st attempts at nail art so it was really fun and refreshing to try it out again. Although this method was a lot easier and less messy so it will probably be my go to from now on. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the look and
if you try it let me know how it comes out.

Shattered_Glass_Holographic_Broken_Mirror_Nails_Tutorial


This is my 3rd mani for the Weekly Nail Art Challenge(#WNAC2015) on instagram which is hosted by @missbellatracey, @simplynailogical and @kgrdnr. 

The theme for the month is Elegance.


This weeks prompt is: Shattered Glass

I used Funky Fingers Dark Knight, Quick Dry Top Coat, Holographic cellophane(gift wrap) and Scissors

With the new trend a lot of people use clear irridescent cellophane over either black or white polish. With my attempt at the look I tried something a bit different and used a opaque silver holographic cellophane, to give it more of a broken mirror look. Unfortunately the photos don't do the holographic shards any justice but they sparkle beautifully in person.

To get this look:
  1. Take sheet of cellophane and using scissors cut into small pieces(triangles or diamonds)
  2. Think about placement and test out look on nails. Cut and adjust as needed.
  3. Paint on base coat and 1 coat of  Dark Knight, let it dry.
  4. Paint on 1 coat of quick dry top coat and quickly place the cellophane shards. Add as many or as little as you are happy with(work 1 nail at a time)
  5. Finish with 1 or 2 coats on quick dry top coat to help flatten all pieces.
