Hidden Gradient Nails Part Two!

So I was without a doubt the laziest Bailey nail-art-wise in history last night. I think this is the first time I've ever gone to bed with one hand finished and the other hand not! I decided to post my left hand by itself yesterday, thinking I'd do my right hand the same so there would be no point in waiting. Much to my surprise, my nail art laziness stayed with me and I couldn't be bothered doing my right hand the same as my left this morning (because it requires a bunch of cleanup). I decided to do the reverse of my left hand design on my right hand. You can check out the colours I used in my previous post here!

Onto the pictures!

Thanks for reading! I apologize for not making it one post!

Hidden Gradient Nails!

I'm quite in love with the nails I have to show you all today! The only reason they ended up looking like this (and not like a gradient with a cool black and white glitter topper) is because I really wasn't feeling the gradient (shown in the third photo of this post). I have a bit of a picture tutorial for this look because I decided to take pictures along the way for once, let me know if I should do that from now on!

Anyways, onto the photos and polishes used! :)

I started with two coats of my favourite white, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

I then sponged on a gradient of China Glaze Oh How Street It Is (orange), OPI Needs  Sunglasses? (yellow), and Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (blue :P)!

I finished off this look with a nail art brush and some more My Boyfriend Scales Walls!

Holographic Glitter Gradient over Pink and Grey!

I got this awesome set of tiny hexagon glitters from Michael's and three of the different glitters are holographic! I decided to use two of the holographic glitters for this mani, the silver and black ones. The pink I used here is Essie Cute As A Button and the grey is Sally Hansen Wet Cement :). Each and every glitter you see here was individually placed so it took a bit of time!

Onto the pictures!

Sorry for the bigger break between nail art/swatch posts than usual, my friend's back in town and my boyfriend recently got his wisdom teeth out so I've been away from home more than usual lately! Thanks for reading!

Red Nails with Rhinestones and Random Shapes!

These are just some plain red nails I kept adding to because I thought they were too boring! The shimmery darker purple is NOPI Fanatical Fuchsia, the lighter purple is Essie Play Date, the yellow is the awesomely-formulated Color Club Almost Famous, the darker blue is China Glaze Ride The Waves, the lighter blue is Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, and last but not least, the red is Sally Hansen Madame X!

On my left hand I painted the shapes with a small striper brush, and on my right hand I just used the brushes from the bottles and a dotting tool! The heart rhinestones are from a tiny set off of Amazon!

As always, thanks for reading! :)

Simple Blue and Yellow Taping Mani!

This is just one coat of Color Club Almost Famous (an almost one-coater, it could be if you did a thick coat) and then one coat of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue over my taped-off nails! :)

I have a job interview coming up (YAY!), so my next mani will be a lot less colourful than my usual manis! Thanks for reading! :)

Red Gradient Dot Mani =)

I did these last night for a happy, quick and fun mani :). This is just one coat of American Apparel's Poppy with the dots on top, I really do love their polishes!

From left to right: American Apparel Poppy, Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, OPI Mod About You, Nyx Girls Mermaid Green, Revlon Lemon Meringue, and American Apparel Neon Green =)

Boyfriend Did my Toes Again :)!

These were inspired by pwincessbuhuhcwuhp on Reddit from her post here!

From left to right: Sally Hansen Stunning Scarlet, Sally Hansen Madame X, China Glaze Oh How Street It Is, Sinful Colors Hazard, OPI Who Needs Sunglasses?, OPI Fiercely Fiona, Essie Mojito Madness, China Glaze For Audrey, China Glaze Secret Periwinkle, and Essie Play Date :)

Revlon's Whimsical Over Gradient Nails :)

This is just a quick mani I did the other night! I used OPI's My Boyfriend Scales Walls as a base for the gradient, Sally Hansen's Barracuda and Sally Hansen's Shell We Dance? for the gradient, and Revlon's Whimsical to top it all off! :)

I think I'll be removing this soon because my nails are finally long enough to shape into ovals! :) I don't like the shape they're in in these pictures :P.

First Attempt at a Jelly Sandwich :)

This is just one coat of China Glaze's Ride The Waves, one coat of Sally Hansen's In The Spotlight, and then another coat of Ride The Waves (and base and top coat)! I think this almost looks like gel polish because it's so smooth, shiny, and jelly-like :).

Another Matte Flakie Mani =)

This is just Sally Hansen's Barracuda, Essie's Gym Dandy, Essie's Shine of the Times, and Nyc's Matte Topcoat! :)

Pastel Gradient with Black Flowers =)

This is just a white base (American Apparel's T-shirt), a homemade holographic topcoat, Orly's Liquid Vinyl, plus the gradient colours! The colours I used for the gradient (from pink, to orange, to yellow... to purple) are: OPI's Mod About You, American Apparel's Mannequin, Julep's Blake, American Apparel's Office, Sally Hansen's Barracuda, and American Apparel's L'Esprit :).
