Ocean Manicure

Post Grad summer has turned out to be quite relaxing for such a high stress time. I've really just been enjoying my last bits of freedom ahah going to the beach, hanging out with friends, going to happy hour. I'm also getting super pumped for my South America trip which I will be embarking on in 14 days. To match my bright mood I decided to go with a funkier color than I usually do on my nails.

For my july manicure I decided to go with a beautiful deep turquoise polish "Naughty Nautical" by Essie. Enjoy!

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!

Pink Polka Dot Nail Art For A Friend

There is nothing more satisfying than staying in on a saturday night drinking wine with a dear friend and doing her nails at 3 am!

I decided to use a simple polka dot design using different variations of the color pink! For the base coat I used "Passion Fruit" by Revlon and for the polka dots I used "Nothing Else Metals", "Muchi, Muchi" by Essie and a beautiful strawberry color by FACE. Later this week I will be posting a Louboutin inspired nail art on myself and also my senior project advisor asked me to do her nails for a penthouse wedding in NYC! Stay tuned and let me know your thoughts!

Easter Colors Mani

Hey Everybody! I just touched down in LA this morning for spring break and boy does it feel good to be home! First thing I did was of course get a manicure hahah shocking. I decided to mix things up and  use a couple different pastels for an Easter theme. The colors I used are "Bikini So Teeny", "Lilacism", and "Hard to Get" all by Essie. I also almost used "Banana Bandanna" by OPI, but decided it would be a little colorful for what I was trying to go for. Even though I didn't use it, I think it would be a great additional color to this mani to make it a little more funky. Funny enough I looked down and realized that the colors I chose matched my floral print leggings that I just bought! Let me know your thoughts! Enjoy!

 

Snake Nail Art

I have been seeing those new magnet nail art polishes at CVS a lot and noticed that Essie came out with a snake skin pattern line. I decided to buy "lil' boa peep" by Essie. I love the color of the nail polish, but frankly I didn't think the magnet worked very well. It took me so many different tries for it to show up at all and it wouldn't come up even on the entire nail. Anyways inspired by the snake skin and the snake ring pictured below, I added a a snake on the pinky using Milani's Nail Art with precision brush and then added some little dots to even out the snake skin print using Sally Hanson's "Gold" Nail Art pen. Let me know what y'all think about this nail art and magnet nail polishes!
