Today's mani is the full Saran Wrap mani I mentioned and showed somewhat of a preview of yesterday!

Half Moon Saran Wrap Marble

I started working on a full Saran Wrap mani, but really liked how this looked alone! So before I added more colors to it (which I'll share tomorrow), I needed to wear this!

I have another Untriedicure today. This one uses Avon Dusky Copper, L'Oreal After Hours (darker blue), and L'Oreal Jet Set to Paris.

Earth Day Nails

Happy Earth Day!

I figured today would be the perfect day to try out some sponged earth nails, so I started with China Glaze Ride the Waves, then randomly sponged around on top of that with a bunch of greens, a brown, white, and grey.

Night Owls

I love doing owl nails! This is my third attempt (see one and two) and I love them even more than the first two!

Colorblind Leopard/Cheetah - Stamping on Sponging in Black, White and Grey - a Video Tutorial

I did these nails quite a while ago, but wanted to include the tutorial with them, and it took me a century to get it all done! Here they are now, though! ^.^

Interconnecting Dots Video Tutorial

Yesterday, Joy from Drugstore Junkie requested a tutorial for a design that has been popular lately. Some call it gradient dots, I call them interconnecting dots simply because I can't think of a better name for them.

I have no clue where this original design came from, it just popped up all over Instagram and I loved it! It is fairly easy to accomplish, and the outcome looks really neat!

For said nails, besides your favorite base/topcoat, you only need three items:
A dotting tool. I prefer the larger one, but you can do the dots in any size you like, and two one-coater polishes that are opaque or nearly opaque in just one coat. I used L'Oreal's Greycian Goddess and Zoya's Reagan.

Who ever said purple and grey don't go together?!

So this was another 'messing around' mani, playing with different colors to see how they look together. I had the idea to do a gradient in two colors that don't seem to be a common combo: purple and grey. Then I decided to add pink and black also. So I used Kleancolor Pastel Pink, Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac, L'Oreal Greycian Goddess, and a Petites' black:

I actually really love the gradient these made!
