Holographic Gradient - Silver & Blue ♥

♥♥

Nahla turned 5 months today, and she just gets cuter and cuter everyday.
She's growing very fast. She loves to go on walks, and she gets very agitated, she wants to play with everyone, and every dog, but some are a bit too small and she is not very gentle lol So she has more fun playing with bigger dogs, like Labrador or Golden Retriever. There are a lot of those two in Rio btw.
There's this one dog we met about a week ago, Vicky, Nahla looks just like her, and could be her daughter. Vicky even has the white tips on her paws, but in all of them, Nahla has in three.
My iPhone got stolen last week, so I'll be showing less pictures of Nahla, I need to get a new iPhone ASAP!



Now to my nails :)
How is everyone doing tonight?
Last night I was going through my stash and got a glimpse of my Hits No Olimpo collection. I went through it and had the brilliant idea of making a gradient. At first I picked Afrodite to go with Artemis, but decided to go with Apolo cause it's darker, but when I started the gradient Apolo was actually quite light.
One super thin coat of top coat was more than enough.
I had to adjust the color on photoshop to be color accurate :)

Dark Blue And Black Gradient ♥

Hello my loves, today's post was one I quite loved. After I applied Colorama Quadrado Azul I thought: "Well, I need to add something to it, but what?! A GRADIENT!!". When I bought Quadrado Azul, I also bought Preto Gráfico Fosco, from the same collection, but I bought it because it's a matte black, which became a love of mine.
Looked much better in person cause you can't see the flaws, but I still love it!

Kleancolor Holos Gradient (♥)

♥♥

How is everyone doing today? :)
I have done a Kleancolor Holos gradient before, but instead of using orange, I used pink the last time. And my cuticles looked AWFUL last time....
I started with two coats of Revlon Cloud, a light gray, formula was fantastic.
The Kleancolors I used were Holo Blue, Green and Orange.
I love the way these holos blend together, it's like I have a blue/green/orange gradient with glitter over it, and I think that's what I love the most about it. This time I used scotch tape around my finger so clean up would be easier. SPONGED THREE TIMES!
The gradient didn't get bubbly like the gradients I usually make with cream or shimmery polishes, so a thin top coat like my OPI one was enough.

Red, Flakies And Glitter ♥

Hello ♥

After I posted Poção Do Amor, I decided to do something different. So I tried a 'gradient' with Up Colors Balada and Bettina Glamour Radiance.







The glitter didn't show much, but I love the way it turned out :)
Love,

Blue Gradient And Glitter

Hello ♥

Today I have an AWESOME manicure to show you guys. I've done a lot of gradients, but they never tunr out as well as I expect, but not this one. I decided to google for gradient tutorials, and I found a great one on youtube, here's the link.
It was SO useful, I'm very happy with the way it turned out. I did a big mess, as usual, but I got a great result.
I used Illamasqua Caress, Illamasqua Noble and Kiko 385.
Looking at my nails I thought WOW, did I really do this?! But looking at the pictures, I wasn't so happy. The pictures showed the bubbles from the topcoat, and the imperfections, but just looking at it you couldn't tell. So I decided to layer a good glitter to hide those nasty bubbles and imperfections, and it worked.
The glitter I used is Adriane Galisteu Me Ama.


Can you see how well the colors blended together?




I'm in love, that's for sure.
Love,

Holo Gradient :)

HI LOVES ♥♥

Today's post is quite cute :) I've been wanting to do this gradient for a long time, but I have never found the perfect base color to do so... When I want to my local supply store a few weeks ago I finally found this purplish blue that was perfect for the gradient, so when I got home the first thing I did was to paint my nails with it!!
As base color I used Colorama Horizonte Azul and for the gradient I used Milani 509 HD.

Before the gradient :)



I truly loved it ♥








soooo pretty *----*









looks really nice, right? :)

Look how pretty it looks *-*





And a macro shot.

Hope you have enjoyed the post ♥
