I actually woke up today at 6:40am and got to doing a gradient splatter scene on my nails, since I couldn't go back to sleep (thanks hubs for allowing the alarm to scream). I was suppose to do my nails yesterday but after five designs on my hand, I was just not feeling it.

Nails done? Mhmm! Finally!
So I finally had time to do some actual nail work on my nails, other than my typical nail gradient splatters (which I still freakin' love).
I kept it simple and just used four colors.

Nails done? OH YEAH! Check!
So here is a shot of my current nails, my typical gradient and splatter look. If you would like to know how I did it, you could spot it on my tutorial page.

First off I would like to state, if you don't like the shape of my nail, you don't have to make a comment about it. It is my nails, not yours. You're entitled to your own opinion, and I am entitled to ignoring rude comments. Sorry it had to be stated.
So my current nails are my typical splatter gradient type. No matter what, I love doing them. They are so fun and easy to do. For a tutorial on them: Here.

Super simple nails
So here are the nails that I had for the past few days. If you're following me on Twitter, you might know how busy I have been. I kept it super simple.
Nail Polish Used:
I was spending time with my family, when it happened. BOO! :( -cries- I didn't have a file in my purse, so I ended up swinging to the 99cents store to pick one up since it was late.
When I got home, after putting together the kits for the shoot we are having today, I ended up filing my nails down a bit. I will post my current nails some time later today hopefully. If not today, tomorrow.
When was the last time you broke your nail?

It really is gradient mania going on these past few days. Normally when I do gradients I do the sponging technique. Where I would take pieces of a cosmetic sponge, and dip it into some nail polish, and then on to my nail bed.
Lately I have been trying out other gradient techniques, that I have discovered, and by far I am loving my fellow nail art lover Sammy's (The Nailasaurus) technique. It's simple to do, and it just makes it look perfect! So make sure to check out her nail work as well! She does a brilliant job when it comes to nail polish.
So on to my nails!
"THE CLAWWWW!" *imitates the voice of the toy aliens from Toy Story* Seriously every time I hear someone complain about how someone takes a picture of their nails doing the claw, that pops in my head. I think the claw is one of the best ways to show off all your fingers, and thumb :)

So my current nails are a mixture of two tutorials that I came across.
- My friend Emily had posted a link of Madeline Poole's perfect way to do gradient nails.
- I have been seeing saran wrap marble nails a lot lately. So I figured I would try it. I used Nailed It's tutorial upon it.

So I decided to try a different color combo with the acid grunge nails (tutorial), and used the colors that inspired me from a shirt I saw in Target. The way it came out reminded me of wall paint peeling off an abandoned house.

Was suppose to post this earlier, but I was honestly having one of those moments where stress was kicking my ass. So here is what on my nails at the moment:
The roses were inspired by two wonderful girls:

- CutePolish - She was one of the first YT nail art videos I started watching.
- Solmate - Megs is such a sweet girl, and good friend. When I saw her tutorial of roses, I knew I had to try them.
