Return of the Rainbow Collab

Hey guys, Happy Sunday. Today I bring you a beautiful rainbow! A rainbow mani, that is. Lol. So, Amber from nailslikelace on Instagram, hosted a nail art collaboration. The theme was rainbow. 54 people participated and Amber put this colorful collage together.

Amber said we could do anything we wanted with the theme. We could use pastels, neons, the regular rainbow colors, etc. I decided to stick with the regular colors for my mani. I wasn't sure what to do, but I thought about recreating a mani I did last year with rainbow colors. I ended up doing something completely different because I wanted to blobbicure a second time. Apart from the blobbicure, I also wanted to incorporate a gradient. So that's what I did, check it out.

For the blobbicure, I first did a coat of white polish. Once dry, I added the second coat and added the blobs of colorful polish while the white polish was still wet. I did this, one nail at a time. I waited a while before finally adding top coat, but unfortunately, the polish still smeared. For the gradient, I first applied a coat of white polish so the colors would pop more. Then, I did the gradient with acrylic paints and topped it off with a glitter topper. Everything was sealed with a top coat. This mani was so colorful, fun and sparkly. I just loved it! Even though it smeared, it still looked pretty cool.

Blobbicure Mix and Match

Hey guys, I hope you're all having a good day. So, I know a lot of you are eager for Spring and Summer to arrive. Well a few days ago, I started to kind of miss Fall. Lol! Call me crazy, but it's my favorite season. Therefore, I decided to do a mani with some Fall appropriate polishes.

I decided to do a blobbicure mix and match mani. It's actually my first attempt at a blobbicure, I've been wanting to try out this technique since I first saw it floating around Instagram. I don't know who came up with it, but it looked so cool I knew I had to do it. Well I chose a rich chocolate brown and a fiery orange for the blobbicure. I also used the same colors individually, and added a black nail with glitter.

I loved how this came out, and I can't believe I'm recently just trying out these mix and match manis. They look so pretty, and both times I've done them I've had so much fun.

Well thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed this nail art post. Until next time guys.
