Princess Nail Art

First off I want to start this post with a "IM DONE WITH COLLEGE!!!!" shout out. Four years finally over, now all I have to do is attend graduation next week. After graduation I will be doing a cross country road trip with my Boyfriend which I'm super excited about and I'm moving back to LA to start graduate school in the fall. Yipee!

This week's nails I wanted to do some free style nail art. I was inspired by the funky, gorgeous royal blue polish "Butter Please" by Essie to do a fun Basquita-esk design. Let me know what y'all think!

3D Nails

I got these 3D gel nails done a while back at Marie Nails in Beverly Hills, CA. I really loved all of the manicurists there. They were very sweet and allowed me as much creative input into the design as I wanted. This design was a collaboration between myself and the manicurist. The only semi complaint is the price, but that is expected in Los Angeles especially with such a crazy design. I wish there were more places in LA that did more affordable 3D gel nails. If anybody knows of any affordable places in the Los Angeles or New York City area that does 3D gel nails like this please let me know! I would also love to learn how to do this kind of nail art myself. I definitely will try and learn after college grad when I have more free time!

Snowy Days

Another Snowy Day at Bard College in Upstate New York... I was supposed to go up to Saratoga Springs to visit my best friend at Skidmore, but this snow storm prevented me from going ugh. Take me back to California! One thing I definitely did not get used to these past four years on the East Coast is the winter. The lack of sun really really gets to me, but I just invested in a HappyLight which I have been using the past couple days. I can't really tell if it makes me happier or not, but hey I'll keep using it! Whatever helps! Above is a snowflake nail art design for the occasion!

                              

Hello Kitty Nails

Today's post is dedicated to Hello Kitty. My initial inspiration to do crazy cool nail art is my love for all things Hello Kitty. I've always loved cats and am quite a girlie girl so naturally Hello Kitty is one of my favorite characters. She's a fun addition to any accessory including nails! 

Below are a couple Hello Kitty Designs I have done in the past. My next nail art after my valentine's nails chip will be a whole new hello kitty inspired design. Stay tuned to see it!
