Minnie's Favorite Bow

My 22nd birthday was June 19th and like every 22 year old going on 12 I decided to go to Disneyland to celebrate. My favorite character has always been Minnie Mouse so when OPI came out with a line in her honor I was so excited! I just found out today about a contest OPI is hosting to win the new collection! 

I entered OPI's "Minnie Needs a Mani Contest" with this nail art. There will be a public voting starting Jun 28-30th. If you like my design please vote for me at https://apps.facebook.com/opicouture-de-minnie/contests/322685/voteable_entries.

Summer Fun Nails

Hey Y'all! Sorry it has been forever since I've updated my blog. I've been road tripping across the U.S since the end of May and just got back to L.A a couple days ago. We went through the North of the U.S hitting up some amazing spots. My favorite city was definitely Chicago it is so beautiful and fun and bustling. If it wasn't so cold during the winters I would totally love to live there. My favorite national parks were Yellowstone in Wyoming and Arches National Park in Utah. We saw three bears in Yellowstone! There were also some really beautiful natural wonders throughout the park like the hot springs. 

After the long road trip I was in desperate need of a mani pedi so I decided to go with some fun summer colors. For my manicure I chose a fabulous Malibu Barbie pink to celebrate my coming home "I Mainly Eat Lobster" by OPI. For my toes I decided to go with a funkier color "Banana Bandana" by OPI. Enjoy! 

Graduation Nail Art

Guess what?! I'm graduating from college on saturday! Woohoo! Finally! I'm have a new outfit for every night of the weekend and needed the perfect nails to go with them! I decided on a simple purple and white polka dot design to complement my many dresses. For the white I used "Alpine Snow" by OPI and the purple is "A Grape Fit" by OPI. Next week I will be embarking on a cross country road trip so we'll see where my nails my take me during the trip! 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!

Lace Nail Art

This week I felt a little lazy about my nail art so I decided to go with some stick ons by Sally Hanson! Sticks ons are way to pricey in my opinion, but they are just so easy to do! I love not having to worry about ruining them after I put them in because they don't need to dry! I have only tried using Sally Hanson and Maybelline stick ons and Sally Hanson was much much better. What are your favorite stick on brands? Let me know!

Wedding Nail Art

This past weekend I did my mom's nails for my art exhibition. I just added a little accent to each of her ring fingers, but when I took the pictures with her diamond ring I immediately thought this would be such a great design for a bride or bridesmaid! Even for an engagement party.

For the base coat I used "Tickle Me France-y" by OPI. For the roses I used "Peachy" by Revlon and "Peas and Qs" by Nicole by OPI. For the details on the roses I used "Draw in Pink" and "Green Skecth" by Milani's Nail Art collection.

Sun Flower Nail Art

Finally spring is here on the East Coast! My Senior Thesis Art Exhibition is opening tomorrow and I'm super excited for it. I'm wearing a cute white summery dress so I decided to go with a bright and fun nail design for the occasion.

For the base coat I used a bright yellow orange polish by FACE. For the base coat on my index and middle finger I used "Tickle my France-y" by OPI. For the sunflower petals I used "Electric" by Revlon and for the middle of the flower I used a beautiful brown polish by Illamasqua. Finally for the details I used "Sassy Brassy" and "Glitzy Jam" by Milani. Enjoy!
