Today's nails feature two Color Club Poptastic colors and two Nail-venturous Lacquers! Let's take a look...
I also tried out a new accent nail trend that I have been seeing on Tumblr a bit lately: using the pointer and middle fingers. I am actually liking it a lot!
My accent nails are Color Club Twiggie with Nail-venturous Floam gradiented on the tips. My other three nails are Color Club Puccilicious with Nail-venturous Pinkerbell. Of course, my camera hates purple, so Puccilicious looks much more blue than it is in real life (check out the iPhone pic at the end for slightly more accurate colors).
This gradient was pretty simple, I just put some of the glitter on my brush and painted backwards. I then added a bit more to the tips for extra density, and voila! Done. Two coats of SV and I was good to go.
Here's the slightly more color accurate photo that I took on my phone... kind of sad that it comes to this, but my camera really hates purples I guess. *sigh*
Nail-venturous Lacquers are available on Etsy. Sign up for shop notifications or check Amy's Facebook page for more information on purchasing.

ReplyDeleteOh this is beautiful! I love everything about this manicure and the accent nails are awesome. I'll have to try this out next time I do a mani. :D
ReplyDeleteWow that looks amazing
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! So funny that the iPhone camera can be more true to color than an actual camera - I find the same thing happens to me! Either way - blue or purple - it looks awesome.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous gorgeous mani!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool- I love how the glitter gradient turned out! It's funny, but I've never thought of simply applying the glitter backwards to get a more even gradient, and being able to keep more glitter at the tips. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love this. Floam and Pinkerbell are so perfectly awesome.
ReplyDeleteOMG A FLOAM GRADIENT SO PERFECT I LOVE THEM!

ReplyDeleteAaaahhh, Those look awesome. But. If it's a "new accent nail trend that [you] have been seeing on Tumblr a bit lately" ... That could be femme flagging. Just be prepared to get odd questions, I guess.
