Denim Nails

I saw this reverse gradient on the Globe & Nail blog.  I attempted it, but my striping tape was too thin. I liked how her stripes came out thicker. My sponging also is blotchy.   And it took a bit of patience and time.

Milano White as base,
Essie Mezmerized, China Glaze Secret Peri-winkle, and China Glaze Dandelion for sponging.

Copy Cat Pink

I saw this on Pinterest here and really liked it. And it's quick and easy.  No special tools needed.  Everyone has several shades of pink on hand.  I used Milani Paradise Pink as the base, NK Bubble Gum as the middle shade, and NYC Fuchsia Shock Cream as the darkest top corner.

Sweater Stripes

This matched a gray, black, and cream striped cardigan I was wearing that weekend. Freehand striping with the regular polish brush and a narrow striping brush for the white strip.


Base is China Glaze Thistle
Grey is Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Gone Grey
Black is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out
White is Charlotte Russe 2-way striper brush and pen (love this)
