Do you ever have those manicures that just don't work out how you envisioned? This is that manicure for me. I don't hate it but I certainly don't love it. I used a gorgeous @hit_the_bottle stamping plate and @holotaco polishes to create this gradient in sunrise colours. I absolutely LOVED being part of this beautiful #TheBasicsCollab #TheBasicsCollabBeachSunriseTones hosted by the always wonderful @polished_opinions. Check out everyone's manicures because they were so stunning! #nailextensions #nailpolishaddict #naildesigns #holotaco #hitthebottle #gradientnails #colourfulnails #nailgram https://www.instagram.com/p/CgBysPZhg11/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#TheBasicsCollab this round brought us #TheBasicsCollabChrysanthemum Thanks so much to @polished_opinions for hosting such a wonderful collab. I used @threeheartspolish from their latest Paired Up collection as my base. I stamped with @hit_the_bottle. #pressonnails #gradientnails #yellownails #orangenails #purplenails #hexagonalstamping #stampingnailart #cutenails #nailgram https://www.instagram.com/p/CihSjNuuAX7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thank you so much to @polished_opinions for setting up the #TheBasicsCollab #TheBasicsCollabNauticalTones. Check out everyone's manicures because they are all so fabulous! I used @picturepolish Mint and Triton as well as @emilydemolly and @hit_the_bottle stamping polishes. My stamping plate was also by @hit_the_bottle. This press-on set was attempt number two. My first was an unmitigated disaster of trying to use chrome pigments. #pressonnails #bluenails #greennails #stampingnailart #squares #triangles #coffinnails https://www.instagram.com/p/ChPdzBXBC5q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was able to join the basics pastel collab, which made me very happy because I missed creating collaboration manicures! Check out #thebasicscollab #thebasicspastel because all of the entries are stunning! Thanks to @polished_opinions and @holodanielle for hosting! I used three polishes of the @threeheartspolish In Your Creams collection, a @cirquecolors polish and a @gallivantingnails polish in a smoosh manicure as my base. I used @emilydemolly Silver Chrome stamping polish to stamp my shapes. Use ALL the brands. #naturalnails #nailpolishaddict #naildesigns #stampingnailart #smooshmanicure #pastelnails #supportaussieindies #supportsmallbusiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ89mOYhAPz/?utm_medium=tumblr
