I know I have mentioned it before but I really love dry-brush. It is one of my go-to techniques, especially when I am in a hurry. With that said, I present another one of my dry-brush designs 🙂
Dry Brush Stamping
Funky Fingers
Order Up! Vampy Glitter Gradient
This week for #mommysmanimonday we took orders from another member. I got my orders from @amyjeannenails who assigned me to do a glitter gradient. Other than that, I had no specific requirements so I decided to go with black and red since Nail It! magazine was looking for submissions. I absolutely adore the result!
Stamping over Mixed Dry Brush
I’ve been doing stamped manicures like crazy lately, I really need to do something else, but I am totally loving how they are turning out. Here’s another one – using a mix of polish finishes to dry brush.
#mommysmanimonday: Scented Polish
Our theme this week over at Mommy’s Mani Monday was scented polish. We could either use scented polish/topcoat/whatever or if you didn’t have a scented polish, create a theme that evokes a scent, like flowers or fruit. I happen to own one scented polish, so my path was pretty clear!
Accent Stamping over Holographic Gradient
The temperatures in my area are starting to hit the low 100’s. I just can’t with those types of temperatures – so I am still channeling Fall, and the onset of cool weather – it’s not super helpful, but it’s a nice change of pace from brighter manicures.
Multi-color Stamping Challenge
The BHB Thursday challenge last week was multi-colored stamping. I haven’t used this technique much, but I have seen so many lovely manis using it that I couldn’t pass up giving it a try!
Spring Flowers and Double Dots
Sometimes I have a bit of a roadblock about what kind of nail art to do over non-creme polishes. I tend to want to leave them as-is to not hide how pretty they are. I’m always pretty proud of myself when I do some art and end up really happy with it!
#mommysmanimonday: Summer Floral freehand nail art
My theme this week for my Mommy’s mani group was Floral – aside from dots, one of my very favorite things to do. I took the opportunity to get some freehand practice in. I was originally planning a springy theme, but when everything came together and I had picked my colors, it was decidedly summery looking.
Spring Pond Manicure
I recently got a few of the Color Club – The Islands polishes and I was particularly excited about this green called The Islands, which is a super sheer, minty green jelly with micro-shimmer. Because it is so sheer, I decided to test it out with a pond-style manicure!
Month of Untrieds: Butter London – Full Steam Ahead, stamped
For Christmas, my lovely husband and daughter gave me the Steampunk Ball set from Butter London. It contains 6 mini polishes, including several that are set exclusives. I love all the polishes, but this is the first time I used one in a manicure.
