Ninja Turtle Nails: Throwback

I was looking through old photos and came across this ninja turtle nail art design I did exactly three years ago. This was probably one of the first times I did nail art on myself. Like it says in the description I have been wearing nail polish since the 6th grade. I feel naked without it and never go out with bare nails. This photo makes me totally nostalgic as I'm now in my last semester of college. So much has changed! And who knew back then I would be starting a nail blog haha. Enjoy! 

Simple Spring Nails

Nail Art can be very tedious and take a really long time. If y'all are looking for a quick and simple design I would suggest always using a fab pop out color and just doing a design on either ring finger or thumb (or both) or just doing simple polka dots (easy and cute!).

For a simple spring design I used "Electric" by the top speed Revlon collection. Their polish actually does dry faster than other polishes I've used and I love their colors. On top of this they it is a more affordable brand. For the flowers I used "Black" and "Draw in Pink" by Milani Nail Art. 

I always know spring is right around the corner when I start seeing Daffodils around my college campus. So excited for spring time!

Peachy Nails

Today's nail art is inspired by Kerry Washington's dress from the Oscars. I think she looked absolutely fabulous and loved her in Django. I also just happened to come across a bunch of little 3D nail art charms my mom brought me back from Tokyo and wanted to attempt doing 3D nails! For the base coat I used "Peachy" by Revlon. The color in the triangle is "Big Money" by Sally Hanson Gem Crush, which is a brand new polish I bought yesterday. Thoughts? Let me know!

 

Nail Polish Strips

The latest trend in nail art is nail polish strips. The brands I have tried so far are Sally Hanson's and Maybelline's Color Show. My friend just gave me nail strips by SEPHORA by OPI that I still want to try, but it's for my toes and I want to save them for when I can start wearing open toed shoes! Anyway, the Maybelline nail strips designs were so much cooler than any other nail strips I've seen out there! Unfortunately, they did not go on easily and started peeling within 48 hours. I'm not as big of a fan of the Sally Hanson designs (although I also just bought a lace design to try out in the future). The skull print I used were a special Halloween line. Let me know what you guys think of Nail Strips which brands are better quality and which have cuter designs!

Tis The Season for Dark Polishes

It's a gloomy grey day here in Tivoli, NY so I just wanted to do a post on some of my favorite dark polishes by OPI. From left to right, "Siberian Nights", "Licoln Park After Dark", "Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow", and "Kennebunk-Port". The polish on the nails is the dark green one with a cute little sparkly accent on the ring finger "Optical Illusion" by SPARITUAL.

Drippity Drip Drip Nail Art

I got totally sick of my last nail art so I decided to paint some new ones today! Also I'm going into the NYC tomorrow so I wanted to have some nails that were a little more fun and edgy. I went with a monochromatic drip effect with a splash of red on the ring finger. I used "Alpine Snow" by OPI for the base, "Black Tie" by Confetti for the black drips and finally "Kennebunk-Port" by OPI for the red drips. Let me know what you guys think!
