Twinsie Tuesday: Technique You Love But Haven't Tried in A While

9:00:00 AM


Good morning polished world!  How are you all doing today?  It's really hot here.  Hot and humid.  Which makes dressing up fancy for work not a fun task.  At least I have plenty of fun dresses I can wear!

Today is  Tuesday which means it is time for another Twinsie Tuesday.  Today we are sharing manicures using techniques we love but haven't tired in a while.  Honestly, I do a lot of the same techniques over and over again on this blog.  I tend to stick to gradients, dots, and floral manicures.  I started to think what I haven't done in a while and I haven't done a kitchen sink manicure.  This is where you take a bunch of techniques, do them all, and you end up with everything but the kitchen sink.

I was inspired by a lovely nail artist on Instagram who for the life of me I cannot remember.  If it was you, please, please, PLEASE, let me know because it's killing me that I can't remember.  All I know is that I was inspired after I saw a Besti Twin Nails this artist did with another artist.  It's annoying to me that I cannot remember two different bloggers.  Ugh.  I'm sorry.  Please forgive me.

Let's take a look at my kitchen sink manicure with dots and a gradient!




Colors Used:
  • China Glaze - Too Yacht to Handle
  • Orly - Be Daring
  • Orly - Purple Crush
  • Orly - French White
  • Zoya - Cosmo

I really love how this turned out.  The gradient, the dots, the textured glitter accent.  Everything is perfection.  I'm so proud of the multicolored dots.  Every time I do dots like this with different polishes, I tend to have a drying issue where the polishes get goopy and then my dots turn into theses stringy awful looking things.  There really is a science to dotting, and it's ten times easier to just do it with one color, not three.


Overall, I love the look and am so happy I did it.  I miss doing kitchen sink manicures and need to do them more often.  I love being able to blend a bunch of techniques together and make one gorgeous manicure.

What do you think?  Fan of the look?  Any idea who did this on Instagram?!
