Rica - Squishy Plum Tonal Roses

Press Sample: Squishy Plum




     I feel like I haven't done nail art in ages! With the passing of yet another birthday, I've been mourning the loss of my mid twenties. I'm getting old. So, so old. I shouldn't be worried about me age, but I can't help it. It's left me uninspired and just feeling blah. 

    Don't mind me being melodramatic. Keep on reading for how to recreate this rose nail art that's perfect for autumn!

L'Oreal - Berry Nice and a Jelly Nail Art Sandwich

          After a terrible day, I shop to make myself feel better. Retail therapy always helps. I stopped at a grocery store after work to get ice cream and found myself near the makeup. Big surprise, huh? I spotted the new Miss Candy collection from L'Oreal. This collection has eight great jelly polishes. I picked up a few. Today's post features my favorite so far: Berry Nice. A nice syrupy grape jelly polish. It was opaque enough for me in three coats and had a great shiny and squishy look. I love this polish! 

   
      

         I'm not sure if any of you have seen a jelly nail art sandwich before this. I first saw it a few weeks ago when a picture was floating around in a few nail polish groups on Facebook. I'm not sure who was the original post. If you do, let me know! Here are a few ideas I wanted to try out first.




L'Oreal Berry Nice

WNW White Creme between
 each layer for the nail art
no top coat

      I free handed these designs with a small nail art brush. I was just testing out different designs. These are far from perfect, but I thought you might want to see them. The dotticure was my favorite. After that, the half circles. If I attempt this again, I'll use striping tape or a stamp. 
      



See which design I chose for a full manicure after the jump...
