Officially My Best Gradient Manicure

So I am super excited to write this... I did this manicure about a week ago, but only got around to posting it now, but I was feeling up for a challenge so I decided to give myself a gradient manicure... only instead of a horizontal gradient I was going to do a vertical gradient instead!!

I am sooooooooooooo happy with the way it turned out :)

I used a matte top coat first but then I took some photos with a regular top coat on top of the matte one! Ready for the gorgeousness?!?!

BAM!!

Fall Nail Polish Favourites

I realized I haven't posted my top fall nail polish picks... oops!

I did swatches on a piece of paper to help make the colours and the microglitter (in some of them) stand out more and be more obvious, however the only thing is that Peridot is a much more multifaceted, dark green/pure green/gold mix, so I've included a better, higher quality photo underneath.

a close up of the gorgeousness that is Peridot by Chanel ♥

let me know what your other fall favourites are!

NOTD: Classy and Elegant

Two of my favourite polishes that go together are Snow Cone and Gum Drop by Orly. I purchased them at the same time because they went so well together, and also because they were polishes I didn't have before.

I did this manicure during the summer, when I was looking for something pretty, elegant, and kind of pastel-y, and I also wanted to try out some of the designs on my BundleMonster plates, and this is what I came up with:

Swirly Fall Nails

The other day I was looking at all the nail polishes I have and I was trying to pick out my #1 shade for fall.... and I couldn't pick just one!

So I ended up picking up 10 or so fall-y nail polishes and doing a sort of swirly/merging/blendy design with them, and this is how it turned out! I apologize in advance however for the tip wear and the bubbles on some nails, that was just caused by the topcoat I used.

*also note that I took these photos before I cleaned up the edges!

NOTD: Glorious Blue Houndstooth!

I was craving a classy yet pretty manicure the other day, and while I was cleaning my BundleMonster plates I remembered the success I had with BM 322, with the houndstooth pattern so I decided to use that.

I was wearing blue that day so I decided to use two blues to go along with my outfit, and this is how it turned out...

DIY Key Revamp!

Today I was browsing on YouTube and I came across this cute video on how to use nail polish to revamp and blingify ordinary keys!

I took my car key and looked through my nail polish and decided to do a purple-black ombre and used a jelly polish from Icing with some small and mid sized holo sparkles and some big star shaped pieces in a purple suspension base layered over that. The end result looked like this:
