Hello there and welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your stay :)
For this Monday's blog post I am sharing this nail art design I did on Friday, because of a recent purple nail varnish purchase.
Here you can see what I came out with. There's quite a lot of a gradient effect going on. I love purple for fall and this shade is just amazing. I can see it been featured in my September favourites. Yes, I'll finally make a favourites video! I'm sorry I didn't do one for summer as I had promised.
Here we have all the items I used for my nail care and design. I started off with a clear polish as my base and moved on to three coats of the new purple varnish I mentioned. The Leciel Paris Nail Varnish in Purple. I know, such an original name! But it suits the product well since it's a true purple, not too warm, not too cool. The bottle is so small and cute as you can see from the pictures and the brush is good too. I paid 5 euro for it. The varnish could be amazing with just one coat, but I wasn't applying enough so I needed three to make it look perfect. Now on to the gradients. For my ring finger and thumb I started with OPI's Save Me Nail Lacquer on an eyeshadow sponge, shown in the picture above. Can we please take a moment and say how beautiful this product is? I love glitter polishes and this is definitely one of my favourites! Okay, let's move on. After that I uses a light purple/lavender shade to make another gradient on top of the OPI one and going a bit further down. Then I reapplied the OPI Save Me just on the tip of the nail, again by using an eyeshadow sponge. Now, to my index finger I only did the lavender gradient/ombre effect, without any glitter. I finished the design with some top coat and that's it. I hope you like my post and if you do, please let me know! If you would like me to film the process somewhat explained above, please do tell me. I hope your week will be beautiful, just like you!

This has been the nail lacquer that I have on my nails for more than a week and I love it! It is a somewhat sheer, red colour with small and big colourful glitter particles. I have used it Sally Hansen base coat and Seche Vite fast drying top coat and I couldn't be more pleased with it.

Well, this is what happens when you have a lot of nail polishes and don't know how to use them! :)
Would you like to watch a tutorial on this?

HELLO THERE AND WELCOME TO MY FIRST NAIL TUTORIAL!
This gradient nail design is definitely one of my favourites for winter and fall. When I had this on my nails, many people had complemented my nails, which I wasn't expecting! I used a couple of coats of a simple black nail varnish to the tips and used a bath sponge with a gunmetal / purple shimmery nail varnish for the gradient / ombre effect. I personally find it easier when using a bath sponge, rather than using a cosmetics sponge, that seems to absorb all the product.
Anyway, I hope you like my first nail tutorial! Bye and you will see me soon! Love ya, Gina :)
