Old Nail Art :) (Picture Heavy)

I spent time tonight reading through my old blog posts from March and April this year. I always enjoy looking at past nail art, so I compiled a ton of photos from my old posts. I have not messed with nail art in ages. These manicures were all fun, but I have been really enjoying simple layering manis. Which one is your favorite?

Simple Tape Manicure

For this mani I used China Glaze Knotty & Empowerment layered together for the base. I then added a thin strip of tape and painted on top with Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro in Steel Grey. The brush on the Rimmel polishes is large and wide and I love it. It makes application very easy. I finished everything with one coat of Seche Vite to complete the manicure.

Marbled Stamping

I was in a hurry to do a quick manicure before going out to dinner. I used Rimmel Black Satin as a base and China Glaze Passion (from the Romantique collection) on top. Because I was in a hurry my Bundle Monster plate was damp with nail polish remover from cleaning it. The result was a blurry mess of stamping that ended up looking pretty cool.

Black & Gold

I rarely wear black nail polish on its own unless I stamp on top. I tried some simple dots today with L.A. Colors nail art pens. This manicure was super easy to do and was relatively easy to duplicate on both hands. If you own nail dotting tools it would look even better.

Stamping Overload?

I started with Revlon Scented polish in Not So Blueberry and began to stamp away. I think I had the right idea, and it looks semi marbled from far away but this manicure is a pain to repeat on ten nails.

Super Fast Mani

Rimmel 60 Seconds in Stop Traffic is a gorgeous super bright hot pink with blue/magenta undertones. It requires at least two coats, but it does dry quickly. For this mani I used Sally Hansen Deep Sea Blue for the stamping with my Bundle Monster Plates. All of my nails were painted and stamped in 5-10 mins.

Here is a photo Of Stop Traffic on its own. I think I like it better plain than with the navy blue stamping.

Scotch Tape & Rimmel

I purchased Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro in Steel Grey at Target a few months ago. The brush on the Rimmel polishes is large and wide and I love it. It makes application very easy. The formula is very shiny even without a top coat. This is Steel Grey on its own with two coats, no topcoat.

For the tape pattern I used Essie French Affair. I got the idea from the many tape manicures at Chloe's Nails. If you have not seen her blog you should check it out:)

I simply cut the tape

Placed it on my finger, and painted Essie French Affair on top

Ta-da pretty nails! I used Seche Vite as a topcoat which is amazing!!
