#nailartjan-Day 16- Gradient

 (Nature is stared because I did do it, but I didn't like how it came out so I did not post it)

Hey guys! Hope you all doing well! We are now halfway through the challenge! I think I might actually finish this one, and that makes me so happy!

So, as I said above, I did not post day 13 (Nature) because I did not like it. I wanted to do a moon over two fingers, and tree shadow on the rest but that did not happen. It ended up looking so messy, and it just wasn't what I had hoped for. 

This gradient mani wasn't what I was hoping for either, but it turned out way better then my nature one. I wanted to do a water marble on my nails but that was a fail, so I opted for just a sponge to achieve a  watercolors effect. I wanted my nail to look like pretty ocean water. Do you think I achieved that? I will deffinately be doing this with different colors at a later time. I was thinking maybe in the summer I could use all neons or pastels! But we shall see.

Accent nail: Revlon-Urban, Sally Hansen- Jaded, and Sinful Colors- Aquamarine. I have Sinful Colors- Snow me White as a base for the accent nail.

The rest of the nails are two coats of Sinful Colors- Aquamarine,

Up close! I swear I don't have polish on my edges, its the light reflecting on my cuticle oil.

If you'd like to see a tutorial for how I did this, please let me know!

DIY- 3 step above the knuckle ring

Hi guys! Today I bring you this super easy DIY above the knuckle ring. For this ring here, that kinda looks like a bulls nose ring. you only need a few materials and it is only THREE steps! Can't get any easier then that! :) 

I first saw rings like this on Instagram a couple months back, and thought there were really cute, so I decided to make my own. I've also made one with chain, and an infinity one. I will be adding a tutorial for those sometime soon too, so be on the lookout :)

•  26 gauge wire (Wal-Mart carries this for around 3 dollars)
• Jewelry Glue (I used G.S Hypo Cement Jewelry glue)
• Small beads (about the size of  seed bead)
• Wire cutters
• Ring Mendrel or anything round about the size of your finger (i.e. a chapstik)

1. Cut about 1 inch of wire

 2. Using your mendrel, or round onject, make a horseshoe shape. 

 Measure around your finger, and cut any excess wire

 3. Add a bit of glue to the ends and add your bead. 

VIOLA! You are done! See, super easy! And it looks cute too, very dainty and girly :)

I hope you enjoyed this DIY, and give it a try. :D

Until next time!!!!
