Rainbow Waterfall Nail Art

You guys, I'm not going to lie here. I am exhausted today. Yesterday was election night, and for a reporter that means you work through the night basically. I did not go to sleep until 1:30 a.m. and then rolled out of bed to post more election number updates at 6:30 a.m.

Yesterday was so busy, in fact, I forgot to blog. So here I am election reporter hangover and all, bringing you this nail art. That is dedication my friends!



I was inspired by The Nailasaurus rainbow waterfall nail art. She is a pro, I love those nubs of hers.



Anyway for the base of this manicure, I used KBShimmer In Bare Form, the most gorgeous nude holo! Basically my holy grail nude.



Using a tiny brush using light light strokes, I created the waterfall. I used about a million polishes in this look, so I wont list them all here. But if you are curious about what a color is, ask in the comments and I'll do my best to remember!



So what do you think about this look? I so loved it! I just love anything rainbow colored, thus my true love of holo polishes!

Anyway, election coverage is still not over for me. The races in the school district I cover are still too close to call. The bond measure is only ~9 votes shy of its 55 percent approval threshold and one board member race is a difference of 29 votes. The county still has more than 1,000 ballots to count and won't update numbers again until 5 p.m. It's going to be a looooooong day.

Beach shore nail art

Today I am showing you one such a fun nail art I did when people so many people all around the internet started to do their ocean themed manicures I became inspired!



I started with a base of KBShimmer's In Bare Form – my ultimate most favorite nude polish, which I reviewed here.



I wanted to keep the holo going and I had the perfect polish for my waves crashing upon the shore. From Colors by Llarowe Summer Collection a beautiful blue called Surf my Wave, appropriate right? To make the waves appear as they did, I used a small portion of a kitchen sponge! It worked perfectly for creating the waves, as they have holes and it provided the perfect texture!



I topped the whole thing off a few sparkles from Deborah Lippmann's Va Va Voom and a crab stamp to indicate it is a shore!



How did you like it? Are you doing some beach themed nails for the summer? I love ocean themes on nails, I just love water all around! In fact right now I have blue holo skittles on my nails with wave-esque stamps – 'tis the season I suppose!

P.S. My MoYou London Stamping Plate Giveaway is still going on, check out this post to enter the Rafflecopter and good luck!
