Silver Glitter Gradient.

My trip to New York was very tiring so today I was looking for a manicure that wouldn't be time consuming. I wanted to use a new polish I hadn't had a chance to use yet, so I decided a glitter gradient would be perfect!

I loaded on lots of glitter and it was very reflective so it wasn't the easiest to photograph, but I certainly think you can get the idea. The base color is China Glaze First Mate and the glitter is Urban Outfitters Dust.

Glittery Bow Nails.

I've been thinking about a bow manicure for a while now, and I decided that the best way to make it really fun was to add lots of glitter! So for this design I painted all of my nails with China Glaze Some Like it Haute. Then I freehanded the bow with acrylic paint. I wanted a bit more glitter still so I sponged a little Urban Outfitters Dust onto the tips of my non-accent nails. 

In this photo you can really see how pretty the holographic glitters in Some Like it Haute are!

Cow Nails.

I love doing different animal themed manicures, and cow nails have been on my to-do list for a while now. 

At first I thought I'd freehand the cow face but do the spots with a stamping plate, but I eventually decided to just freehand everything and I'm happy with how that worked out. 

I used my current go to black and white polishes for this design, Wet n Wild Black Creme and French White Creme. The pink polish is from Urban Outfitters and doesn't have a name on the bottle. 

Dreamcatcher Nails.

Dreamcatchers have been on my list of fun freehand manicures to try for a while now, especially after seeing this manicure, and then this similar one.

I switched up the color scheme a little and used American Apparel Factory Grey as my base color. I used Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris for the black and did the feather highlights with Sally Hansen Whirlwind white. The feathers are China Glaze Spontaneous and Rich & Famous, OPI Who The Shrek Are You?, and Sally Hansen Brisk Blue. The glitter is Urban Outfitters Dust. If I were going to do this again I think I would use a different glitter.

I don't think these are perfect but I was happy with them as a fun manicure for a day.
