Abstract Art Negative Space Manicure.

I just wanted to try something I had never done before. I have done negative space nail art, but never abstract nail art. I didn't want anything fussy. I used my acrylic paints and dry brushed on simple sweeps of color.

The only thing that really sucks is that I got busy, and the paint started to dry before I got back to painting. I could have poured out fresh paint, but between keeping the baby happy and myself fed, I was just like "Whatever!"

So here's the result.

I paint petroleum jelly around my nails with a wide, flat brush to protect my skin from stray paint. It wipes off easily with a paper towel or baby wipe.

I used a fan brush that came with my nail art brush set from ebay. (I heart ebay!)

The acrylic paints are just basic craft paints from Walmart.

I don't buy expensive products to work with. I have other ways to spend my money! My goal is create awesome nail art on a tight budget.

Well, that's it for now! I hope you enjoy my negative space nail art. It's weird, but I was sick of seeing the same old designs over and over...

Forever 21 Rainbow Glitter Polish

Just a quick post about a new glitter polish I picked up from Forever 21. I love rummaging through their colors, and I always pick up one or more because you can't beat trying something new at only $2.90!

 

 

 

My fingers were already painted so I tried this polish on my big toes, and on top of a coat of Revlon's Transforming Effects "Gold Glaze." My toes are super sparkly and fun.



 

This big chunky rainbow glitter is an awesome addition to my collection! No Regrets.

Colors, Colors, Colors!

I haven't posted in a while! So, for my comeback I have just a short post that's fun and colorful. Here's something tasty to feast your eyes upon...the newest additions to my collection! I'm just dying to try them! They look good enough to eat, but not really. I have heard that this particular kind of polish is good for water marbling, and I would like to try a rainbow water marble at some point.

I haven't tried any of them, but when I do I will write my review and post more pretty pictures!

One more thing for you below.... <3
