Neon peach and turquoise summer nail art!

Gelish I’m Brighter Than You–Neon Peach Gel Polish is amazing!

I just wanted to share these adorable nails with the world!

We used Gelish I’m Brighter Than You which is a neon peach and hard to capture on photo. I then did OPI GelColor Alpine Snow on her ring finger with Young Nails Mani Q Green 101 for the chevron stripes.

When I do the chevron stripes I freehand them and do thin coats until I reach the desired effect, usually in about 3-4 coats. I use a thin striping brush …

Summer Nails with I’m Brighter Than You, Chevron, and Feathers

The new Gelish Neon Collection is PERFECT for summer! I was skeptical when I saw they were releasing another neon collection because they did the Rio Collection about two years ago and I didn’t think there was a need for more neon colors. However, there was! These neons are more like China Glazes neon …

Trendy and Chic Nail Styles–stripes, dots, kisses, studs, hearts & fun!

I’ve had the pleasure of doing some beautiful nails the last few weeks for my BFF’s 🙂 In case you are wondering, I get a lot of my inspiration from Instagram. Instagram has to be the number one spot for nail ideas these days. It’s crazy how many nail accounts are on there! I was totally overwhelmed when I first signed up and started following people, but once I got the hang of it and became comfortable on there, I love navigating around and trying to find the styles that …

Tutorial-Funky Vintage Nail Art

These nails turned out super fun! We started with a Brisa Lite base coat and smoothing gel application followed by three color coats of Gelish Seafoam, Gelish Princess Tiara, and Gelish Candyland Yellow with Opi Alpine Snow on the ring and thumbs. The pinky and pointer finger have a coat of Gelish Champagne as well to add a vintage flair. I hand painted all the designs starting with the flowers. …

Just so you know, I’m a professionally licensed nail tech. I’ve been doing soak off gel polish for a little over two years now. I had a full clientele …

Gelish Seafoam, Pink Smoothie, Golden Treasure with gold glitter and bling!

Check out these adorable nails I did for the lovely Jenna. We used Gelish Seafoam, Pink Smoothie, Need a Tan, and Golden Treasure. I hand painted the diamond on her middle finger and mixed loose gold glitter with Golden Treasure in a little dish for the thumb and ring finger patterns. I liked that method a lot because when I put the top coat on the loose glitter didn’t spread all over her nails. I used gold hex glitter for her pinkie that I bought at dollar nail art (there’s …

Nail art pictures!

Here are some pics from today!

They are all done with soak off gel polish—my preferred medium when working with nail art. It’s very forgiving! I used gel polish to do the heart and the roses. You just kind of blot a dark color on first, then add a darker color as highlights for the petals. Very easy! The pink is Pink Flamenco by OPI and the white is Alpine Snow…my favorite white for gel polish because it doesn’t wrinkle. I am loving the floral nail art trend. Kaitlin Ferland on …
