Beauty Big Bang | Double ended gradient sponge tool

Hello Lovelies, today I have the last product from Beauty Big Bang to share with you all. This one is Double-ended Nail Gradient Shading Pen Sponge Head Nail Tool.

This product comes in 6 different styles, filled with different colored crystals in it. I got the green one, which is beautiful to look at. Apart from looking pretty I wanted to test if the sponges actually work as described so I wanted to create a nail design which is based on multiple gradients. I came up with this night sky Forrest nails design. For the base, I used the double ended gradient tool to create gradients with different polish shades. Then using a nail art brush I free-handed some black trees and then added some white dots in the night sky.

This product was very easy to use and unlike the bigger sponges, it created very less mess which was very easy to clean afterwards too.

Witches Brew

I am very excited about today's nail art. Since Halloween is around the corner I wanted to create something fun and unique on my nails. The scene happening here, just in case you don't understand is, 2 witches are brewing something in a large pot, on extreme right are 2 jack-o-lanterns under a tree and on the left is a cat sitting on a tree. This design is created FREE-HAND using nail polishes (no acrylic paint) - Zoya's Darcy, Willa and Michael Kor's Passion. I created a gradient design first (see the details and video HERE) and on that using a thin nail art brush free-handed the entire design. Hope you all will like it as much as I do.

What do you think the witch's are brewing here? I think they are brewing a spell to cast on you ;) See some of my previous witch nail designs by clicking HERE and HERE.

Holiday Series: Baby it's cold outside

Hello Lovelies. Though it doesn't snow where I live but it's been really really cold outside. And I decided to create some snowflakes for the season. Instead of going with the usual blues and reds I created orange and white nails (My hubby says it reminds him of orange creamsicle). I used Zoya's Purity as the base white, then using Charolette Russe's Orange Creme polish I added gradient. Then using Micheal Kor's Passion I free-handed some really delicate snowflakes. I added orange rhinestones on it and sealed it with my favorite Formula X's top coat. You can see my previous snowflake designs HERE and HERE.
