Nail Art & Acetone? Why not?!

So this week I used acetone (nail polish remover) to manipulate the nail polish upon my hands.  I finally got around to doing the acetone watercolor nails that I has been on my list for awhile now, and revisited my acid grunge nails as well.

If you are unsure what watercolor nails using nail polish remover is, you could watch a quick tutorial of it: CLICKIE

At first I knew I wanted to do acid grunge nails for sure, but I wasn't sure what colors to use for the watercolor ones.  I kept looking at my nail polishes switching back and forth.  I eventually came to terms and went "K neon polishes it is!"

Nails done? OH YEAH! Check!

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. 
Nail Polish Used:
  • Orly Bonder for base coat
  • Milani High Speed Fast Dry Nail Lacquer - Black Swift
  • China Glaze - Secret Perwinkle
  • Sinful Colors - Fig
  • Milani High Speed Fast Dry Nail Lacquer - White on the Spot
  • Milani Nail Lacquer - Orchidia
  • Sinful Colors - Winterberry
  • Sinful Colors - Island Coral
  • China Glaze Fast Forward for top coat
So there you have it!  Have you tried doing those nails yet?  If you have shoot me a link!

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.
I decided to mix the roses in with my version of acid wash nails.  Instead of using a nail art brush, to apply the nail polishes, I went with the second option of using the nail polish brush itself.  Not to mention different nail polish color combos.
