American Flag and Pegasus Airbrush Nail Art

In my last few days of spring break at home, I of course needed to hit up one of my favorite nail art spots in LA. The artist specializes in airbrush nail art. He is really sweet and so talented. He makes all of his own stencils and has hundreds of designs to choose from.

Today I chose to an American Flag design. I absolutely love the way the stripes serve as a type of french manicure. This would obviously be a fantastic design for the 4th of July. I wouldn't consider myself necessarily patriotic but I love the design of the American flag on its own. Its become super trendy in current fashion. I followed the trend by buying an awesome American Flag sweater from Brandy Melville and now these nails :)

My best friend Karima came with me as well and she chose to do pegasus on a nude background. Love this as well. It's so detailed! And of course super cute.

Abstract Sparrow Nail Art

Hey Y'all sorry I haven't written in so long. I've been home in LA for spring break and have been so busy! It's been a blast. I've been eating at all my favorite restaurant's, pool lounging, hanging with my friends, going out to my favorite bars. Man I do not want to go back to the East Coast. Anywho today I wanted to show you guys my abstract sparrow nail art. For the base coat I used "Fair Dinkum Pinkum" by OPI and for the designs I used the gold glitter, silver glitter, and black nail polish by Milani's Nail Art collection. 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!

 

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! 

Ke$ha Inspired Nail Art

Tonight's post is dedicated to all you night owls out there. I can't sleep right now so I figured I would write about the self proclaimed "animal of the night", Ke$ha. I have mixed feelings about her because I absolutely adore her but sometimes her music and lyrics can be so juvenile. I understand that her market is geared towards young teens, which probably directs the spirit of her albums, but sometimes in songs such as "Kiss and Tell" she just totally obliterates any feminist progress by singing, " I can't date a dude with a vag". To her credit I think her "I don't give a fuck" attitude can be quite inspiring. I don't like her new album as much as the first, but I am obsessed with the song "Dirty Love" feat Iggy Pop. I also am totally a fan of the blue lipstick. I was so inspired by her awesome make up I decided to be her for halloween in 2011. Pictured Above is the nail art I designed for the costume.

Eye See You Nails

Happy Friday Everybody. As usual I will be having a crazy weekend long studio sesh instead of going out, but I'm excited about it. I'm tackling a 8 ft x 7 ft painting at the moment that I am hoping to finish before Spring Break, but of course I'm procrastinating and writing posts about my nails ahahah. That being said one of my favorite nail designs I've done in the past are my eyeball nails. I'm hoping to recreate them soon with a more fun design. Tell me what you think! Any ideas to make this nail art  more interesting and funky? Let me know!

St Patrick's Day Nails

Happy Almost St Patrick's Day!! For this week's nail art I wanted to get festive for St Patrick's Day, which is such a fun and drunk holiday for me usually. I'm hoping it will be the same this year! For the base coat I used "Peas and Qs" by Nicole by OPI and "Goldeneye" by OPI. The darker green is "Emerald" by Revlon and the other two colors are black and "Green Sketch" by Milani Nail Art. Let me know what y'all think of this design!
