Hello everyone! It's Janelle!
and today I've partnered with ULTA
to show you a simple rose nail tutorial
using their new whim. nail polish line
whim. is exclusive to ULTA in stores
and on ULTA.com
whim. is a high shine gel like nail lacquer
that goes on like a polish but wears like a gel
this is a 3 step system
that features the starter or Base Coat
The paint, or nail lacquer
and the finisher, or Top Coat
Out of the 58 shades in the whim. collection
for this look I used these shades
Marshmallow Mousse
a white cream
TGIF, a dark pink cream
On Wednesdays We Wear Pink
a light pink cream
and Mojito Mint
a mint cream
and as for the tools
I used a bobby pin
some toothpicks
and a wedge makeup sponge
first apply your base coat
to all of your nails
For the thumb, index and pinky
I painted a white base color
and after that dried I
sponged on the light pink and white
to create a nice gradient
Then after I cleaned up the skin
I dipped a bobby pin in the darker pink
and added a single dot
For the middle nail I applied
that same white base color
then I dipped my toothpick in the
darker pink and I made little
curved lines to make the center
of the rose
Just add curved lines from the center
outwards and soon you will have
a rose shape
I then switched to the lighter pink
and I added more curved lines to fill up the rose
To add a little more dimension
and highlights I added a little bit
of that lighter pink
to the center
To finish off the rose print I dipped
another toothpick in the mint green
and I painted a few simple leaves
