Nautical Nail Art featuring Simply Spoiled Beauty

Hi everyone!

Recently, I was sent a few products to review from Simply Spoiled Beauty.  I received a bag of some adorable striped bows, and as soon as I saw the navy and white striped bow, I knew I had to create some nautical nails.

To create my nautical nails, I started with blue, white, and red alternating bases.  From Simply Spoiled Beauty, I also received three nail art pens, so I chose the Silver Sparkle glitter pen to draw the anchor on my ring finger.  The nail art pens have a tiny metal tip where the polish comes out, so it’s easy to paint really clean lines.  There is also a striper brush if you remove the cap, which is great for another option.

OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, Nails Inc. Matte Gatwick, Amuse “Silve Sparkle” Nail Art Pen, and Barry M Gelly Blue Grape

I added a silver stud on my pinky and thumb, and on my middle finger I applied silver striping tape.  Originally, I was going to paint a matte top coat over the tape to create matte and shiny stripes, but I really loved how the silver tape coordinated with the other nails, so I ended up keeping the tape on for a cool mirrored look.

If you would like to order from Simply Spoiled Beauty, you can use my coupon code “lacquer” for 30% off your purchase.  They offer a flat rate of $5 for shipping.

I hope you enjoyed my nautical nail art, and thank you for reading! :)

31 Day Challenge - Day 6: Violet Nails

Day 6 of the 31 Day Challenge (#31DC2013) was Violet Nails.

I really love the look of Bourjois Bleu Violet (the base that I used for these nails), but it was a pain to photograph.  It either looked black or totally blue in photos, when in person it's actually a really lovely blurple (quite a bit more purple than blue though.)  I used two coats for these nails, and it has a nice squishy finish.

I waited a while for the base to dry, and I applied some striping tape diagonally on my nails to create diamond shapes.  I sponged Enchanted Polish Purple Roses on the tips, then quickly removed the tape.  I love the holographic shimmer that Purple Roses adds to the effect.

My accent nail is two coats of OPI Alcatraz...Rocks, one of the most amazing Liquid Sand polishes OPI has created, in my opinion.  It's the strangest mix of blue, grey, and purple, and it has some gorgeous multicolored shimmer; I think it's mostly gold, pink, and purple, maybe some green too!  It's just stunning.

Thank you for reading!
