Aqua Gradient and Model's Own Emerald Glitter Accent Nail

For today's NOTD, we had to show you this gorgeous glitter we picked up from Models Own. This is Emerald, and it is the perfect mermaid-y green glitter. The accent nail is three coats and it is possibly the most beautiful thing we've ever seen... Let us know what you think in the comments!

Quo by ORLY Coral Contour topped with O.P.I. Desperately Seeking Sequins, Essie Licorice Chevron Accent Nails!

For today's NOTD - we used a bold pink and some glitter to create a super girly mani - then gave it a bit of edge with opposite black chevrons on the ring and pinky fingers. We freehanded these - but you could also use tape if you're a bit wobbly or are in search of the perfect chevron!

China Glaze Glitter Up Manicure, over China Glaze Sun of a Peach and First Mate

For today's look, we used China Glaze Glitter Up, from the new Surprise! collection, along with two other China Glaze polishes which matched oddly well - because seriously, we searched all of our polishes for a good match.

We used a small brush to pick the glitters out of the polish and used whatever clear base was still on those glitters to stick them down on the nail, creating this pattern. Overall, it actually only took about an hour and a bit for the whole mani, including letting the base polishes fully dry! What do you think of this look?

Floral nails ft. Peace Heart accent nail!

For today's nails we are in full spring spirit with some easy florals and a peace heart on the accent nail (this is also the Motavator sign - a logo used by youtube guru Bethany Mota)!

Our white base is our go-to China Glaze White on White. We used O.P.I. Sheer Tints in Be Magentale with Me, I Can Teal You Like Me, and Don't Violet Me Down for the base of the flowers. Then we outlined the flowers with Revlon Ginger Melon, Revlon Tropical Rain, and O.P.I. Push and Pur-Pull. We used Revlon Lime Basil for some random leaves!

For the accent nail - we followed the same steps as above, but finished off the look with a white heart outline, and then used a detail brush to drawl the symbol on in Zoya Raven!

We sped up the accent nail for a quick tutorial video which we posted on our instagram and embedded below... Happy polishing - and if you try out this look be sure to tag #knailart so we can check it out!

Lacquer Lust Pearl with a Leopard Accent Nail (Models Own Grape Juice and Essie Licorice)

We purchased Lacquer Lust Pearl from Harlow and Co. after falling in love with Sapphire from their birthstone collection, and had to top off top it of with some Leopard print! Let us know what you think of the look - this polish was definitely a great purchase... If you haven't checked out Lacquer Lust thus far, we definitely recommend it. We also picked up Diamond (a great pair!) which may pop up in some later posts.

The holographic sparkle of this polish is out of control in the sunlight... polish perfection!

Ciaté Pepperminty with Ciaté Pressed Flower on Ring Finger, and Ciaté Locket and Confetti (pictured) on Middle Finger

For today's nails, we've been trying out the Ciaté Flower Manicure kit in Strike a Posy - it comes with a baby pink polish mini, a topcoat (which we love!) and some flowers and tweezers to place them with. More on that kit will be posted soon - but for now we are sharing a look we created using the kit along with some of our other favs from Ciaté! The base colour for this look is Pepperminty, and we used a coat of Locket with two coats of Confetti underneath for a bit of sparkle!

Let us know what you think in the comments, and whether you will be rocking florals to usher in the spring weather!

Pastel Tie Dye Nails by knailart (Pictured: China Glaze At Vase Value)

We're back at it! A spring-time pastel tie dye is our obsession of the moment - and they may be pastel, but in the sun they look super vibrant! We used mostly China Glaze pastels from the City Flourish collection, including the pictured At Vase Value. If you would like to know more about how to achieve the tye-die look... check out our neon rainbow tie dye post here! Happy Spring!
