Glitter Ombre Nails

I used china glaze innocence with 3 coasts and china glaze techno just on the tips. I'm really loving the glitter tips, its pretty and so much easier than doing your typical french tip. I can't wait to try this with other base colors, the only thing is I think the china glaze techno was limited edition :( But im pretty sure you can find a glitter like this one from many other nail polish brands.

China Glaze Crackle & Essie Tarte Deco

So here are one of the china glaze crackle color that I actually enjoyed. It is the pink color over essies tarte deco. Now if all of china glazes crackle cracked like this I would be so happy, but the others only give small cracks not allowing the base color to show through

Sephora Nail Bling

I bought these awhile back ago from sephora, I want to say they were about $7. I really loved the design and that they were made with the beading material. They were easy to apply and lasted a very long time since they weren't made of actual nail polish.

Ombre Nails

I did did this looking with only one nail color using a sponge and layering the colors over each other. I then applied a glittery top coat (techno by china glaze) to help blend the colors into each other. I really liked how it turned out and want to try more colors.

French Tips using Konad

I was so excited when I got my Konad French Tip plates, then I do my french tips for the first time and they came out horrible!!! It took some practice to get the allignment correct but once I got that down I would have to do two to three layers to get it opaque.

What I learned was that if you apply a nail polish (I usually use a pale pink but clear or any color nail polish works) and then apply the french tip with the konad the special nail polish has something to stick to.

Also another tip is if you want to add a lighter color on top of a darker color french tip apply a clear coat before adding your french tip design ( The lighter design will bleed through to the darker color ruining your design)

So in the end you are saving time and your special nail polish
