Negative Space Rose Nails + Tutorial

Hi everyone!  I have a quick post today, but it includes a new tutorial!

I created these negative space style rose nails for Nail It! Magazine's bridal theme that I noticed on Instagram recently.  I will be entering these nails for consideration, so I'm hoping they make it into the March/April issue.  Wish me luck! :)

I love the design I came up with; I think it looks more complicated than it actually is (quite a few people on Instagram actually thought I stamped it!), and yet it's very delicate with a bit of blind.  I think I might even have to try them in different color combinations in the near future .. Maybe a darker version!

Elevation Polish Mount Feathertop, Essie Blanc, China Glaze Angel Wings, Orly Prisma Gloss Silver, and a brush (size 10/0) I got at Michael's recently.

 And a little bonus shot:

 This was my original accent nail idea, but I ended up going with a simple gold nail instead.

Here is the video if you would like to see how I created them:


Enjoy!

Thank you for reading! :)

Floral Nails, Glitter Placement and Born Pretty Store Review!

Hello! :)

My most recent design is another floral print (you can view my previous florals on my Instagram, which is also in the sidebar).  I have really been into florals lately.  They always look so beautiful and complicated, and I won't lie, it's pretty funny when people ask you if your nails are stickers or stencils!  My new set of nail art brushes from Born Pretty Store, are what I have used to create this look:

For the past few months, I have just been using the same tiny old paintbrush (yes, just one!) from my kit when I was taking art in high school.  So, I knew it was about time I get myself a fresh set of real nail art brushes!  While I was at it, I picked up some multicolored loose glitter as well, and I am addicted!

I'll have a bonus glitter mani at the end of this post, but for now here's what my order consisted of from the lovely Born Pretty Store:

Look at the gorgeous colors!

The brushes are really great!  I used all four to create my floral print, and it was so nice to have a selection of sizes so I could use one for each color on my nails.  They are perfect for fine details like the small flowers and dots in the center of the flowers.

Here's what one of the brushes looks like compared to my nail.  See how small it is?

These are the polishes I used to get this look:

 

Butter London Billy No Mates and Stag Do, Essie Instant Hot (on the accent nail) and Blanc, and Misa Great Grape and Lime Love.

And here's a little bonus glitter placement:

The base is Essie The Girl's Are Out.

It's so fun placing the individual glitters in different shapes or patterns, and it's not a pain to remove after a few days.  You will definitely see some more glitter placement nails from me soon!

If you would like to order from Born Pretty Store, (their prices are great, and it's free worldwide shipping!) you can use this coupon for 10% off your order:

Have a lovely day! :)
