Ombre Nails

This week I tried something I've seen around for a while, and you guys have probably heard of it too: the ombre manicure.

For those who don't know, it's based off a hair color trend where the ends of your hair are light and gradually it gets darker towards your roots, or the other way around. For the manicure, used 5 or 10 different shades of one color, like I did yellow and green, and do them in order of light to dark or dark to light.

Sorry about the bandaid in this photo, I had a nasty hamster bite. Too bad I didn't have a green one lol

Here's the colors I used, from light to dark:

- Sally Hansen complete salon manicure, Yellow Kitty
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Mellow yellow
- Revlon Electric
- Nail Duo, unnamed yellow
- Colorshock, unnamed gold

-Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Mint Sorbet
- Nyx Girls polish, Boho
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Going Green
- Revlon 30 seconds, Camouflage

French tip with Rhinestones

This one I was just experimenting with making rhinestones into a flower shape over a french manicure I was already wearing, and it turned out great, imo :)

I did my right hand different, of course

Here's the rest of the pictures:

I just wish I'd done gold glitter on my left hand since the middle rhinestone of the flower is gold, and the silver glitter on my right matches the middle silver rhinestone, but I did silver on both. What do you guys think?

Green with Gold Flakies

This is a polish I haven't worn much, Chartreuse Chase from Sally Hansen Insta Dri, and I topped it with Essie's topcoat As Gold as it Gets from the luxeffect line.

I absolutely looooove this combo, here's a bunch of photos:

CC on its own

What do you guys think of these two together? Does CC's own sparkle interfere with the top coat's effect?
