Nail Art

It's been a minute since I've posted. I thought I'd share the nail art I've done since the beginning of the year. I don't claim to be an artist. I just have fun with my nails. Like makeup, nails are one of the fun aspects of being a girl!

I don't know about you, but I'm glad beauty and fashion rules have changed. Years ago, it was fashionable to match your nail color to your lipstick. I change up my makeup look almost daily, so it wouldn't be too convenient to change my nail color that frequently. Who has that kind of time?

Which one of the designs above is your favorite?

Please let me know below. 

MOTW 7/15/2013 - Glittery French (UPDATED for Interview)

I wanted to share this short lived mani with you before I took it off. It only stayed on for 2 days. Although I loved it, I felt it wasn't conservative enough for interviewing. 

It's Sinful Colors in White & Heavy Metal, Milani in Silver and Wet n Wild's Fergie polish in New Years Kiss. It was super easy to do. This white polish was one of the best I've used. I did my tips freehand, but you can use tape to do the tips if you feel more comfortable.

Here's what I changed it to this:

I used Wet n Wild's Tickled Pink. Love this polish!!

What do you think of this look? Do you think it matters what's on your nails when interviewing? 

Random thoughts:

• The next time you go to Dollar Tree, be on the lookout for Sinful Colors & Milani nail polishes. I found them both here, but they're packaged. Holla for a dollar!!
• Did you know that Dollar General is not a "dollar store"? Their merchandise isn't all a dollar each. I think they need to change the name. ;)

Mani of the Week - 5/25/13

I'm back!! The exam is over, and I passed!! Hard work really does pay off. It's been a few weeks since I've had time to sit down and pamper myself. It felt wonderful! Doing my nails is relaxing knowing all of my responsibilities have been met. Here's a pic of this week's mani.

It reminds me of a French manicure but with dots. All you need for this look are dotting tools that you can pick up at a craft store. 

If you'd like to know what I used to get this look, please leave a comment below.

3/18/2013 Mani of the Week

No blog post last week, because I've been super busy with school work and studying. More content to come once I finish with school and take my certification exam. 

There are so many gorgeous Spring colors out now!! Walgreens had Sinful Colors on sale, so I couldn't resist buying four bottles of polish from their new display of Spring pastels!! In the past, I didn't purchase pastel polish, as it had a tendency to go on streaky.  I'm happy to say that I had no problems applying this one! Check it out!

Sinful Colors in Sweet Tooth

It looks similar to another lavender shade I have, but this one is softer.  Loved it so much that I put it on my toes too!

3/4/2013 Mani of the Week

This week I used a soft metallic pink with a shimmery silver polish on two accent nails.  Although I like my mani this week, I don't love it.  After applying two coats, it's a lot softer than it appears in the bottle. It has a platinum shimmer that makes it difficult to accurately photograph.  In the pic below it looks like the polish didn't apply evenly, but it did.

Fun with polka dots! This is one of my favorite colors from OPI called Give Me Moor! It looks nice alone, but I couldn't resist playing with some nail art.

2/10/2013 Mani of the Week

Pink, hearts and glitter for Valentine's Day! This is a little later than my usual weekly posts due to lots of schoolwork.  Doing my nails each week has been like therapy. It gives me something else to temporarily focus on and relieve some stress.

If you want to know the colors I used or an easy way to make hearts, please leave a comment below.

2/3/2013 Mani of the Week

A quick mani for this week. A pretty dark green, but this pic doesn't do it justice.  

It looks so much nicer in person.

I'm trying to change it up a bit by using colors I haven't worn before.

I'm loving this purple! It's slightly metallic, so I did my ring fingers in a light silver with 

silver glitter over it.

I've been so excited to use this pretty blue polish! The main color is Cinderella. I then used two glitter polishes, Queen of Beauty and Frenzy, on my ring fingers. Cinderella is an icy, light blue with a subtle shimmer. Queen of Beauty is silver glitter, and Frenzy is a pretty combination of purple and light 

blue glitter.

Pastels are going to be hot this Spring, so this icy blue will still be on trend. Here's a pic of all three Sinful Colors polishes.
