Spring Nail Art

Happy March everybody! Spring is just around the corner (from an optimistic point of view) and I wanted to post some of my favorite spring nail art I have done! I did two different versions of the same design, which do you guys prefer? Let me know!

For the top design I used "Paradise Pink" by Milani, "What's With the Cattitude?" by OPI for the base coats. On the thumb I used "I Pink I Can" by Sally Hanson Manicure, "Juicy Glow" by Milani for the base coat.

For the bottom design I also used "Paradise Pink", but changed the blue to a green color "Peas and Q's"  by Nicole by OPI. For the thumb I used "Peachy" and "Electric" by Revlon for the basecoat.

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!

 

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.

My Collection

Today I just wanted to show you guys my extensive growing nail polish collection. Definitely missing a lot of Essie. I just bought an Essie that I showed you guys on my last post, but I never realized I didn't own many Essie nail polishes! I think I've always preferred OPI to Essie, but lately Essie has been coming out with some cool colors that I would love to get my hands on. I think my favorite cheaper polishes are Revlon's Top Speed collection. I love the colors and think they are good quality and affordable. As for expensive polishes my favorite brand is Chanel. Even though they are absurdly pricey I find that their colors are just impossible to replicate and are so unique.

                           

                       

Clouds

This is going to be a short post today. I just got back from NYC and am quite exhausted! One of my favorite Nail Polishes is "Cloud" by Revlon, which I used for the base coat (and also inspired the nail art). The clouds were done using Milani's Nail Art line. It's a simple design, but I think it is cute! Also since we are in the middle of winter I thought it would be appropriate to post these. Enjoy!

Abstract Nail Art

Today, I wanted to talk about abstract nail art. I am a studio arts major so there is definitely a place in my heart for awesome geometric colorful shapes. I also find abstract nail art more often than not to be easier to create because of the simple shapes. Also, using nail art pens or Milani's nail art polishes  makes is easy to create thin and well defined lines on your nails making your design look perfectly geometrical. Here are a couple abstract nail designs I have done in the past.
