Pastel Dry Brushed Nail Art

Welcome to Samantha by the Sea! Today I would like to share another nail art look with you! 

I used the dry brush technique for this look! If you haven't heard this technique before, it is when you wipe almost all of the polish off of the brush before applying it to the nail. As always, I started off with my Revlon Colorstay Gel-Smooth Base Coat. For the base color, I used Dream by PS Cosmeceutical in Southern Sand. I used Zoya Lillian, Neely, Kirtridge, and Cole for the dry brush technique. I sealed everything in with Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Top Coat.

Overall, I'm loving this - so much so that I'm already planning out my next dry brush look!

Pastel Ikat Nail Art

 I bought this.

Welcome to Samantha by the Sea! Today I wanted to share with you a pastel ikat nail art look that is perfect for summer!

To start off, I used the Revlon Colorstay Gel-Smooth Base Coat. I applied two coats of Pure Ice He Rocks My World as the base color. Once that was dry, I placed Wet N Wild French White Crème anywhere that I wanted an ikat design. I then placed Zoya Lillan in the center of the white and accented everything with the L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Art Striper in Black. I sealed everything in with Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Top Coat.

I am really loving this look! Not only is it perfect for summer, but the colors can be switched up to match any occasion.
