A Weekly Dose of Rainbows: Rainbow Fashion

 Purchased By Me / Gift / Giveaway Prize 

Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well. This week's A Weekly Dose of Rainbows theme was Rainbow Fashion, and I had absolutely no idea what I'd be doing. I looked up fashion images on Google and found no inspiration I liked. Then I remembered how much I love the fashion from the show Reign, which is one of my favorite shows. I looked up pictures and there were so many beautiful looks that it was difficult to choose just one. Anyways, I chose a gorgeous gown Adelaide Kane (who plays Mary Queen of Scots) wore for some promotional pictures of the show as inspiration.
Picture from Google:
I started off with gold polish on all my nails as my base color. On my pinky and ring finger I added a nail art water decal from the Born Pretty Store, but I painted half of my pinky with black polish and added some round gold nail studs down the middle. On my index and middle finger I applied some TwinkledT mermaid scale vinyls, after applying top coat of course, and then sponged on some brown polish. I let that dry and added top coat. Afterwards, I put a single chevron vinyl on my index finger and painted the top black. To finish the mani, I added some gold acrylic paint dots in the middle of the scales just like on the dress. My pinky and ring finger represent the skirt of the dress, and my middle and index finger represent the top of the dress.

I also had to add matte top coat because I thought it'd look nice.

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.
