Aztec Love

Hey guys.

Today I have for you another foray into the Face of Australia pastels I bought a while back. This time I wanted them to be a little bit more punchy, and so did this tribal design with them.


It's quite simple, but really a striking look. What do you think? Something you'd recreate?


What I used:
ulta3 'lily white'
essence 'black is back'
Face of Australia 'boys 'n' berries', 'after dinner mint' and 'easy peasy lemon squeezy'

Thanks for dropping in,

The Forest of Tribes

Well hello there!
Today I have some fantastic green gradient, and fun tribal on top.

Let's start with the gradient itself

Green Gradient
For this, I used Essie 'Mojito Madness' and 'Navigate Her'. These look beautiful together.

Then, using Revlon 'Emerald' I drew some fine tribal detailing on the top, and after a day or two, I mattified them using Rimmel mattifying top coat.

There's a tute for this design as well if you'd like to see it. It's a fairly straightforward design, but let me know in the comments if you'd like the step by step instructions.

Thanks for stopping by,

Winged electric fruit

Hey guys!

Today's mani is one I am very proud of. I love the way it looks exactly how I wanted it to look - the colours are amazing, and the details worked splendidly.
Enough of patting myself on the back, and on with the show!

Gradient tribal nails!

To achieve this look, I did a gradient of China Glaze 'Electric Pineapple' and OPI 'Fly', and then painted the random tribalish designs on top with a black polish and a striper brush.
I particularly like the ring fingers and the index on my left hand.

As always, thanks for stopping by!
