2 New YouTube Videos Up!

I haven't done posts on this blog for my 2 recent video tutorials I posted on YouTube, so that's what this post will be about.

The first is a green manicure with vertical cut between two colors. You can watch this Green Split manicure video on my YouTube channel, artistrynails.














The second video is a sponging tutorial with a stamp over top. You can watch this White and Green Sponge Gradient with Dots video on my YouTube channel as well.














I hope you guys enjoy!
