September Manicures

Hey everyone,
                       I hope you all are doing well :). During the month of September I got a couple of new polishes so I have been painting my nails frequently. Also, I know that around this time of year darker nail colours are preferred due to the fall in temperatures in some countries. However, where I live this change doesn't affect me so throughout the post you will see both bright and dark manicures. Let’s get on to the manicures enjoy !

Colour Block Nail Art Tutorial

Hey everyone,
                        I hope you all are doing well :). I know its been a while since I uploaded a tutorial (The life of a tertiary student gets hectic :p ) but today I have a colourful and simple design. For this colour block tutorial you will need stripping tape in addition to your nail polishes. Also, be sure to start off with a base coat to protect your natural nails. Let’s get on to the tutorial!




Step one: Apply a white polish to all nails.

Step two: Place one piece of stripping tape (or a thin strip of regular tape) vertically along the middle of the nail. Next, place another piece of stripping tape horizontally across one side of the nail as shown. 

Step three: Fill in one of the quarter’s formed using pink polish and the other using blue. Remove stripping tape. 

Step four: Using a black stripper create lines where colours meet.

Step five: Clean up around your nails to remove any polish from the skin and add your preferred top coat to smooth out design and add shine. 

*As you can see I created different designs on each nail simply by changing the placement of colours and the tape.

Products used:

Essie: Cute as a button

F21: Baby blue

L.A Colors (nail stripper): Black

Sally Hansen: White on

Top Coat- Seche vite fast drying top coat

Jelly Sandwich Nail Art Tutorial

Hey everyone,
                        I hope you all are doing well :). Today I have a step by step tutorial of the very popular jelly sandwich nail art design. For persons who are not familiar with the technique it incorporates a sheer nail polish with a jelly like formula. In addition to the sheer polish you will need a glitter polish. Also, be sure to start off with a base coat to protect your natural nails. Let’s get on to the tutorial!



Step one: Apply a sheer coat of polish on to nails. (Light or dark polish will work once formula is sheer)

Step two: Dab glitter polish on to sheer coat. Ensure the glitter polish chosen is bright enough to notice. 

Step three: When glitter is fully dried apply a coat of the sheer polish used in step one over the glitter polish. 

Step four: Clean up around your nails to remove any polish from the skin and add your preferred top coat to smooth out design and add shine.
