31 Day Challenge: Geometric

For geometric nails, I wanted to do something easy, so I thought how about some simple shapes to form a mosaic? Easy, right? Wrong. Guess who was sorely mistaken and spent over an hour doing her nails painstakingly painting triangles? This girl… Colors used: Essie Blanc and China Glaze Neon & On, For Audrey and […]

31 Day Challenge: Delicate

It’s day 15 and I’m halfway there! For today’s delicate prompt, I wanted to use Indi-Glo because it’s all reformulated and I hopefully (knock on wood) never have to go through that whole ordeal ever again! So what’s blue and delicate? Porcelain! Colors used: Serum No. 5 Indi-Glo, Essie Blanc and OPI Keeping Suzi at […]

31 Day Challenge: Stripes

I think my favorite designs are the ones that looks simple. Rather than do a full striped mani, I wanted to do something a little more modern and different. Colors used: Essie Blanc, China Glaze Highlight of My Summer and Too Yacht to Handle and Essie In the Cab-ana. First paint your nails white, then […]

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: Blue

It’s blue for the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge and I am going to try some turquoise gemstone nails! Another surprise, I’ve never tried splatter nails either. So perfect way to get turquoise nails is with some splatters! Colors used: Essie In the Cab-ana, Orly Luxe and OPI Black Onyx. To do these, I started […]

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 […]

Red, White and Blue Mani Ideas

Happy 4th of July! To celebrate this weekend, here are some quick mani ideas. Dotticure mani using Infrared, Indi-Glo, white and a gold anchor. Another nautical mani using a patriotic color scheme (Infrared and Indi-Glo) and some fun decals that I’m working on. How cute is that whale and crab?! Here’s a traditional flag inspired […]

Easter Egg Nails

I’ve been so busy over the weekend getting packages ready (thank you, I hope you love them!) that I didn’t have time for an Easter inspired mani. I saw this picture posted by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co. on her IG and I love it so hard I had to make my own version […]

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. […]
