Cringe Worthy

I'm going through archived nails for posts while I think these turned out OK, I know I didn't post them because I didn't think they were post worthy due to the cleanup.  I can't believe there was so much polish left at the edge....even with latex barrier!  Please overlook this as you see what I came up with!

Lina Mad for Mandelas 01

After applying a base of Fancy Gloss Neon Yellow, did a radial sponged gradient using Fancy Gloss Neon Yellow, Neon Orange and Tomato Soup. 

After (not so great) cleanup, stamped using Lina Mad for Mandelas 01 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  I have since changed my sponged method as I always apply the lightest of the polishes then apply the top coat and let it dry as I find when this is done, the polish doesn't come off the nail, versus on it, which sometimes happens when there is a lot of polish saturation with sponging.  You can see it happen on these nails too, which is why I do it differently now. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish. 

Thanks for looking!

Summeresque Nails!

Smmeresque...is that even a word?  Not entirely sure, but I'm going with it!  We are having some crazy summeresque weather right now...well, probably more like springesque weather, and it is warm, sunny and beau-T-ful the last few days!  I'm sure it is short lived but we'll take it while we can.  So I'm pausing fall nails for a little bit to share these uh-um, summeresque nails!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Sinful Colors Wonder Mint, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did a sponged gradient using Sinful Colors Wonder Mint, Nubar Sour Apple and L'Oreal Totally Turquoise.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief using Lina Mad for Mandelas 01.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I don't expect this summeresque weather to stay much longer and it was nice to share something other than fall.  Although, I did A LOT of fall mani's; I still have some to share.

Thanks for looking!
