Havana Nights

Hey guys!

Color blocking is all over the place right now, nail polish trends included! It's pretty simple to do as long as you have some tape and a little bit of time. To achieve my nice straight lines I just used regular scotch tape and made sure to wait long enough between each color to make sure they were dry before I applied the tape.

The colors I used from left to right are Read My Palm, Teal We Meet Again, and Rumba Romance all from Sephora by OPI's Havana Nights collection. I LOVE this whole collection, especially these three colors together.

Hope you guys enjoyed!

Mac Ruffian Inspired

Hey guys!

I was flipping through my May edition of InStyle and came across pictures of the Mac Ruffian Press-On nails and fell in love! The nails are going to be released in June. They are two or three toned nails that have a half moon and a french tip. I'm sure it's been done before but this is the first time I've seen it so I decided to give it a shot. I'm not a huge fan of french tips personally because my natural nail shape doesn't really work well with the typical french tip shape but I figured with a half moon at the bottom, it might work a little better.

The colors I used from left to right: Nice is Nice from Essie, Dove from Zoya, and Anja from Zoya.

As you can tell, I wasn't patient enough to wait for my nails to be totally dried so Anja, the dark purple, streaked when I put my top coat on. If this ever happens to you, you could always add a layer of glitter to help hide the streaks if you don't try to clean the streaks up. I just left these because I didn't feel like doing either when I originally did them, it was late and I was tired and just decided to let it go. No one even noticed until I would point it out. 

I hope you guys like it and give it a shot! I'm sure the Mac ones are going to be a little pricey so why not do them yourself!

Neon Water Marble

Hey guys!

I've been seeing a lot of nude colors mixed with some neon colors all over from fashion to home decor and everything in between so I figured I would give it a shot on my nails! It didn't quite turn out how I hoped but I still liked the end result.

The base color I used was Blank Canvas Cream from Finger Paints. This is one of my favorite nudes. It goes really well with my skin tone and just a nice nude for me!

The colors I used in the marbling were all from China Glaze, from left to right: Fuchsia, Coral Star, and White Cap. 

The main problem I had with this water marble is that I used a bowl instead of a cup like I usually do. The polish didn't want to spread out to the edges of the bowl and if it did spread out, it would dry quickly. I just kept going and hoped for the best. It didn't turn out awfully but I was hoping for better. Hope you liked it!

Tribal Inspired

Hey guys!

I've got a tribal inspired look that I love! Tribal and color blocking is everywhere right now so why not put it on my nails?

The colors I used from left to right, Delia's Bright Purple, Sephora by OPI Read My Palm, and Sephora by OPI Rumba Romance. I also used a Stripe Rite polish in black to make the lines on my ring fingers.

You guys know how much I love my accent nails! The first picture is in natural light and the bottom one is with a flash.

I really love all of the nail art I've been seeing lately but it's always on every single nail and for me and my personality, it can get a little much which is why I like my accent nails even more! Hope you guys enjoyed!

Easter Nails

Happy Easter everyone!
If you don't celebrate Easter, then happy Sunday! Lots of colors and a franken are coming your way! The base colors I used from left to right are OPI Play in the Peonies, Zoya Catlin, OPI Time-less is More, China Glaze Light as Air, and Sally Hansen  Diamond Strength Diamonds

The colors are in reverse order on my nails and Diamonds was used as a top coat on top of them just to give a similar finish to all of them. I love adding Diamonds on top of colors just to add a little shimmer on top especially if the colors don't have any shimmer in them.

Next comes the polka dots! The colors I used for the polka dots from left to right are China Glaze White on White, Sephora by OPI Blue Grotto, my own glitter franken, and OPI Purple with a Purpose.

My glitter franken was just a bunch of little Bon-Bon polishes mixed together in an empty bottle. It didn't quite turn out how I had hoped it would but I still like how it turned out. Here are on some close ups of it in the bottle and on my nail. 

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and are ready for the week ahead!
