And this, my friends, is what we call the “lazy mani”. When I don’t have time or inspiration, I just go for a glitter gradient and voila! 
Nude and gold make an elegant combo I think. You can easily wear this kind of mani for prom for example. I already used this combo of polishes together for a past mani, I really love using these two together.
This mani is 100% done with Sephora polishes. Both of the polishes I used here come from a kit “Party Color Hit” launched by Sephora in 2014. My dad gifted it to me. This kit is composed of colorful polishes, stickers and a little book with nail art tutorial.To be honest, I have never used (and probably never will) the stickers because I’m a freehanded kind of gal but that’s great for the beginners.
I love Sephora polishes, for the price the quality is pretty good I think. They have a huge range of colors so that’s cool.
To tell you everything, these polishes are on sale in France because it’s summer sales here and I honestly want to buy every color I don’t have haha. 
Polishes I used :
Sephora : Sugar Coated
Sephora : Gold Fever

As you probably know, this month is Pride Month. It’s a perfect opportunity for me to give a shout out to the LGBTQ+ community which deserves to shine bright like the stars they are (what’s up mani reference). Obviously, you deserve our appreciation every others months during the year but I hope that this one is special for all of you! Live and love freely, that’s all that matters. 
In honor of the Pride Month, Lilly Singh alias IISuperwomanII posted a wonderful video : “A Therapy Session For Homophobic People” and honestly you should all go watch this video. Like posting videos on YouTube, I really think that we can make a statement through nail art like we will do with any art. This nail art is not the first one that I dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community, I did a mani 2 years ago in regards of the shooting that happened in Orlando and that targeted the LGBTQ+ community. It was important for me to do a tribute to them. I’m glad to honor them today for a happier occasion.
Sooooo about the nail art itself, I did some stars (I tried at least) over rainbows. And man, let me tell you how difficult it is to draw stars. That’s why they look that ugly, I struggled to draw them haha. I decided to add some flakies on the stars but the base of the polish I used is a little bit yellowish that’s why the stars look a little bit weird. I was inspired by HannahRoxNails for this nail art, my nails are not as beautiful as her but I tried to do something different from what I use to do. 
Polishes I used :
Maybelline : Lookout Lemon
Bourjois : Rouge Poppy
Nails Inc. : St James
Sephora : Will You Be Mine ?
Modelite : F40
Miss Europe : Lagon
Kiko : n°293
Picture Polish : Festival
White & Black polishes

Since summer is coming, I have decided to use some bright polishes. 
This mani is quite simple, I did a gradient on all my nails using purple, pink and orange. Then I used the saran wrap technique for my pointer, middle and pinky fingernails and I did two triangles on my ring fingernail. 
For the little back story, “Eternal Lilac” by Maybelline is a favorite of mine and the bottle that I’m holding in the picture is actually another one that I bought because my first one was empty. I used too much I guess. 
Polishes I used :
Maybelline : Eternal Lilac
Maybelline : Upper Gold
Modelite : F45
Modelite : F47
Modelite : F46
White Polish

The nail art that I’ll be presenting you today is pretty simple. I did a gradient using blue and purple. 
The magic touch of this manicure is definitely “Indian Ocean” by Models Own which a best-seller of theirs. It adds a mermaid vibe to this nail art. 
Polishes I used :
Models Own : Indian Ocean
Maybelline : Uptown Blue
Formula X : Harmonics
