Fall Floral Article and More.

I realized today that I am horribly behind on updating my blog readers on my work over at Beauty Blitz. My favorite article over the last few months was probably the one detailing how to recreate this rose design.

I also shared tutorials for a favorite gory manicure, a tweed technique, watercolor fingertips, and leopard nails.

I think that covers all of my updates for now, however you can expect my annual favorite manicures post in the next few days!

Summer Splatter Nails.

I originally planned for this manicure to be a bit more complicated, but then I ended up liking the color combination so much that I left it alone when I finished doing the splatter (with a straw.)

The polishes I used were American Apparel Office, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, CG Secret Peri-winkle, Essie First Timer, and Essie Boom Boom Room.

Watercolor Splatter Nails.

For today's manicure I decided to combine two of my favorite techniques, watercolor and splatter. 

First I used OPI Elephantastic Pink, OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender, China Glaze Secret Peri-winkle, and American Apparel Office to create the watercolor effect over top of Wet n Wild French White Creme. Then I splattered overtop with China Glaze First Mate.

I really loved how these turned out!

Jawbreaker Nails.

Recently splatter nails I've seen have reminded me of jawbreakers, so that is where I took all my inspiration for today's manicure from!

The base color for this manicure is Wet n Wild French White Creme and the colors I splattered on are Orly Spark, OPI Ogre the Top Blue, and CND Flashpoint.

Rainbow Splatter Nails.

When I decided to do a splatter manicure, I wasn't sure about a color scheme. Eventually I decided on a bright rainbow color scheme. At first I wasn't sure about the outcome, but after a while it really started to grow on me. 

I used a bunch of polishes for this: OPI Hot & Spicy, Orly Spark, OPI Elephantastic Pink, China Glaze Tree Hugger, China Glaze Rich & Famous, China Glaze Spontaneous, and LA Colors Static Electricity.

Gradient and Splatter Nails.

Splatter nails are a bit messy, but definitely worth the results. Instead of splattering in multiple colors, this time I decided to do a gradient underneath the splatter which was a fun change.

I used Orly Pixy Stix (best nail polish name,) American Apparel Office, and China Glaze Secret Peri-winkle. You can't see it in some of the photos but over the gradient I put CND Raspberry Sparkle.
