Squishy rainbow sponge manicure pt. 2

Happy Valentine's day! ♡

Here's my part 2 of my Squishy rainbow sponge manicure from last night with nail art! I wanted to actually do something whimsical and magical but it turned out rather girly and Princess-y like. I am digging this mani bc of how pastel-y and girly it is!

This manicure consists of all these adorable holographic loose glitters (ordered from Amazon.com under $2 with free shipping and handling!), gold caviar beads (purchased from the Dollar Tree - came with 5 other colored caviar beads), gold butterfly charm (ordered from Amazon.com -- also came with 6 other logos & charm designs, pastel pearls and gems (both purchased with free shipping and handling from Amazon.com also!)

Free hand nail art was done with acrylic paints and the base done with a makeup sponge using the following nail lacquer listed below.

▶How to: do a Squishy rainbow sponge manicure

This sponge technique was pretty easy to do. I had so much fun playing with all four polishes on this manicure! It reminds me of something whimsical and magical! I just may put some cute nail art over it! ^-^

How to: do a Squishy rainbow sponge manicure

1) Apply a base coat. Let dry.

2) Apply a white base. Let dry.

3) On a makeup sponge, dab one of four colored polishes on to the sponge.

4) Dab/pat the sponge on to a small area of your nail til you get enough color showing.

5) Repeat #4 but with another colored polish til you've used all four polishes and have covered each nail entirely.

6) Apply China Glaze 'Fairy Dust' or whichever favorite glitter top coat you like over the rainbow manicure to smooth out any oopsies.

7) Lastly, apply your favorite fast drying top coat & you're done! ( My favorite is Seche Vite :)
