nail style #2 ombre nails with regular polish

Before you start doing something, You should already know what kinda design You will do, and choose your polish and open all of them to prevent smudging nail polish on your nails.
For this design You will need:
  • base and top coat
  • white polish (or light color)
  • 3 shades of blue (or color of your choose) 
  • small and large dotting tool (or toothpick and small brush other end)
At first i always clean my nails with acetone free remover just to clean before manicure, to prevent clean and even base. Then apply base coat, I use Revlon quick dry base coat. Apply one thin even first coat of your choice, I suggest white or light color, if will show up more, then reader on darker color. Let it dry and then repeat second coat. Let it dry competently, before adding different color. Take large dotting tool or other end of small brush, and place 3-4 dots on each nail top with darken color, and repeat on all nails on one hand. Then take lighter color and place 3-4 dots in between and after take light color and repeat the process. Take small dotting tool or toothpick and place small dots in between lager dots to blend the colors together! And this will make it look like ombre ! Add some top coat and you are done!

nail style #1 Sensational Gel Polish @ home

Hi, this is my first manicure blog. This time i wanted to try nail wrap strip tape and my color choice wasn't the best, but i will learn from my mistakes.  
At the moment I use Sensational gel polish. And I use Bubbly Champagne and Espresso Bean Gel color and rose gold wrap strip. For this design You will need :
  • acetone free polish remover 
  • lint free wipes
  • orange wood stick
  • nail file / and buffer
  • gel cleanser
  • gel primer
  • gel base and top coat
  • 2 gel color's 
  • wrap strip tape
  • scissors or cuticle cutter for cutting the size or the wrap
  • nail /cuticle oil after the manicure

At first i always clean my nails with acetone free remover just to clean before manicure. Then i do Dry manicure, after shape the nail and then lightly buff the surface of the nail plate. Then use Gel cleanser with lint free wipe to remove dust from buffing.Let it Air dry for 15seconds.Then apply Gel primer on outer edges of nail for easy removal. Let it Air dry for 30 seconds. Then apply thin Base coat, and make sure to don't touch the cuticles (it you did then clean with orange wood stick to prevent clean and perfect manicure) , cap the free edge. Cure: 30 seconds. After this point I put some nail wrap striping tape what i order from ebay, but probably you can get from any beauty supply store.


 Apply thin, even coat of polish color of choice, cap the free edge. Because i use 2 colors on one nail I try do as evenly i could,for this design. Cure :60 seconds in LED lamp. Repeat second coat of color polish for intense (darker) color. Cap the free edge. Apply thin coat of Top coat, cap the free edge. Cure: 30 seconds in LED lamp. Remove tacky residue with Nail surface cleaner with Lint free nail wipe. Massage nourish cuticle oil into skin surrounding nail plate. I use Essie nail oil.
 And You Done .
I Believe if YOU don't practice, You not gonna get Better.
