Five Roundups From Five Months: Negative Space & Grey

Hey everyone! Today I have some negative space and grey looks to share!

Tomorrow morning is my last final exam and I'm so excited to get it done and over with! I have a bunch of cool nail art ideas that I'll be able to implement very soon, yay!

Onto the looks!

American Apparel Hassid

Mostly American Apparel polishes & NYC Matte Me Crazy top coat

OPI Don't Speak (one coat)

American Apparel 7th And Alameda (two coats)

Thanks so much for taking a look guys, hope you're having a great week! Happy Wednesday! :)

OPI Red and Yellow Negative Space Colour Blocks!

Yo yo yo my lovely readers! Today I have some matte negative space colour blocks to share!

I have pretty crazy Mondays this year where I have eight and a half consecutive hours of lectures and labs. So yesterday I was basically recovering from the first one! We ended early but it was still pretty exhausting. I only go to school three days a week though which is pretty sweet (and is also why my Mondays are so long). Did you guys just recently start back at university too?

This is a pretty quick post but let's get into it!

I started off with a coat of my normal base coat (Orly Bonder). After that had dried, I went in with a medium-sized paintbrush and OPI Good Grief (yellow) and Coca-Cola Red (red).

I added a coat of normal top coat and then finished with a coat of matte top coat (the NYC one).

What do you guys think of these nails? I'd love to know!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with lots of looks using the OPI Color Paints very soon! Happy Wednesday! =)

Gold Ore Nail Art for Week One of Nail Crazy in March!

Hey everyone! Today I have some gold ore nail art to share for this week's prompt of the Nail Crazies Unite challenge; gold!

I kind of think that I've finally figured out my lighting and white balance!! My skin looks the right colour to me for basically the first time ever and I could almost cry about it! I got some new 5000K lightbulbs and I think my camera can custom white balance with them a lot better because it hardly has to change anything.

Anyways, onto the nails!

I started off with two coats of OPI You Don't Know Jacques over a coat of Orly Bonder. After that had dried, I went in with a ball of saran wrap and American Apparel T-shirt, OPI I Sing in Color, OPI Chocolate Moose and then YDKJ in that order.

I decided to add a coat of a sheer white polish (Essie Waltz) to calm down/blend the colours and design a bit. After that, I painted on some gold veins with Milani 3D Holographic Nail Lacquer in 3D and my Winstonia Kolinsky Sable Brush in #0000.

Because I don't have a lot of golds, the only warm one I had was holographic. So I decided to dull that effect (because real gold is not holographic) with a coat of NYC Matte Me Crazy Mattifying Top Coat. After a lot of clean up, I was done!

You can see that whole process very sped up below in my Instagram video tutorial!

What do you guys think of these nails or my new lighting/white balance? Be sure to check out all of the other lovely ladies' blog posts for this week down below!

Here is a quick video tutorial for the look! The song is You Know My Name by The Beatles! Let me know if you have any questions!
