Catching Up on Nail Art April: Blue Skies, Springtime, Little Critter and Earth Day

I so fail at nail art challenges, I just forget or push it aside thinking “I’ll do it later” and then never do. So I’m catching up to combine my missed prompts into one mani. I’ve done this a few times and I actually like thinking of how I can create a cohesive design and […]

31 Day Challenge: Inspired by a Book

I had these done yesterday but I was too tired to even try and transfer them onto the computer. I love this prompt because I’m a bookworm at heart. I’ll happily read sci-fi, romance, contemporary, self-helps and the classics. I mean, I read Crime and Punishment for fun. So as much of a bibliophile that I […]

31 Day Challenge: Water Marble

Fall is a day away, but here in Southern California, we’re still sweating it in the 90s-100s. I mean seriously, seriously? It’s so hot, I die. I miss wearing pants or a light sweater and feel comfortable. I’m hoping this fall mani will get California weather in check, because it’s getting pretty ridiculous. Water marbles […]

31 Day Challenge: Flowers

I have a weakness for floral nails. I love them. They’re so pretty and intricate and I wish I could do them. Haha! For today’s mani, I went for a bright pop of flowers over a black background. Colors used: Essie Blanc and Licorice and Serum No. 5 Krypton-Brite, Atomic Peach, Orange You Sunny, Awesome […]

31 Day Challenge: Gradient

It’s day 10 of the 31 day nail art challenge, you know what that means? We’re one-third finished! Yay us! It may be September, but it’s pretty much feeling like summer is alive and kicking here in Southern California. So, this gradient is all bright and summery! Colors used: Serum No. 5 Solar Power, Orange […]

31 Day Challenge: Rainbow

Can I just say how much I love this mani? I’m a total newb at nail art and to be honest, I desperately need a clean up brush because my painting skills are a hit and miss haha. When I was taking a look at the prompts for this challenge and saw “rainbow,” I knew […]

31 Day Challenge: Orange

Ladies. I mean, laaaaadiiiieeesss! I’m proud to say that I gave stamping another shot and I was able to actually get the image to transfer onto not just the stamper, but to my nails! I’m so proud of myself. Stamping has been one of the banes of my nail art existence and today, I kicked its ass. […]

Abstract Rainbows and Unicorns

Happy 2 year anniversary to Serum! I have to say that I am so incredibly thankful to have even gotten this far! For today’s mani, I was inspired by The Polish Aholic‘s holo unicorn mani atop of rainbow gradient. So I grabbed some of my favorite glow polishes and using the watercolor technique I got […]

Essie Resort 2014

I absolutely love the color scheme for Essie’s Resort 2014 collection. I mean what’s not to love about nude, coral and blues? They go so well together. Application for these were all pretty easy. Resort Fling is a coral peach creme that leans almost to a jelly finish. Shown is 3 coats without top coat. […]

Colors used: Lights Out, Blue Blazes, Glowin’ of Eden, Awesome Blossom, Lavendar-ingly Bright, Day Glow, Atomic Peach and Fame. To do galaxy nails, check out this Talonted Tips. […]
