Lace nails

Based on this lovely design. I know I've done lace before, but they're kind of my fallback for when I need something nice. I'm going to some fancy party this weekend and thought they'd go well with my dress since I'm wearing all black. I used Sinful Colors Black on Black, and Nicole by OPI's My Lifesaver. Nothing much else to say about these!

Sugar skull nails

Hello again. I wasn't planning on doing my nails, but I was bored and in a rather bad, depressed mood tonight, so I needed to focus on something else for a while. I decided to practice some sugar skulls, because my mother has been making a lot of sugar skull related jewelery lately. Much improved based on my last design, in my opinion. I'm sorry the pictures aren't so wonderful.. my camera just doesn't seem to take close-up shots well anymore. It's pretty old, actually. Oh well.

Anyway.. not totally happy with them, but I suppose I'm glad to be doing nail art again. Gotta practice more!

I'll edit the colors I used in tomorrow.. it's late and I'm a sleepy nail artist.

Red half-moons

Nothing too exciting this time, sadly.. just another half-moon mani! I liked the last one a lot so I wanted to try another color. I used Barielle's Elle's Spell this time, and added Essie's Matte About You to make a little different. Not sure if I'll keep it matte or just go back to glossy. Anyway.. I don't use red a lot, but the outfit I'm wearing tomorrow is all black/ivory, so I wanted a pop of color to go with my red lipstick. I feel like this style of mani is going to be my go-to when I'm not feeling inspired, since it's so simple to do.

Embellished half-moons

Hey guys! I was bored so I tried something simple to attempt and get back in the nail art swing. Just some half-moons with a little rhinestone/pearl accent bling. I used Nicole by OPI's My Lifesaver and Sinful Colors Black on Black. It was really easy.. I just laid down My Lifesaver, waited for it to dry, then used those hole reinforcer sticker thingies to block out the moons and laid the black over that.

I'm not entirely sure if I like 'em, since I was never crazy about the half-moon trend, but I figured I might as well give a shot, y'know?

See you guys next time, have a nice weekend! :)

Dot dot dot..

Well, these were my nails for this weekend.. I was feeling super lazy, and dots are always a good plan when you don't wanna do anything, haha.

Polishes:
Sally Hansen, Lightening
Sally Hansen, Yellow Kitty
China Glaze, For Audrey
Sinful Colors, Snow Me White

I layered Yellow Kitty over Lightening since Kitty isn't very opaque.. it's such a pretty, light buttery yellow color, that picture does it no justice. It's one of my favorite yellows.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend! I'll be undergoing a baking adventure tomorrow since my bf's birthday is on Tuesday.. if it turns out, i'll be sure to post it.

Blue paisley

Hey guys!

Nothing too exciting for the weekend, just some blue paisley stuff. I kinda rushed it so it looks a little sloppy, especially my right hand, which is hard to do anyway, haha. Still.. looks nice and bright for the 4th of July weekend!

Colors:
Sinful Colors, Snow Me White
Pure Ice, French Kiss
Sally Hansen, Blue Me Away
China Glaze, For Audrey

Feelin' blue

Hey guys.. these were my weekend nails. I did them on Thursday, but just took pics today, so forgive any wear and tear on them after a few days of cooking, cleaning, and going to the lake!

I was pretty tired, so I decided to rehash something simple.. I just took the Piet Mondrian design I did previously, and used shades of blue instead of blue/yellow/red to do the color blocking this time. I am all about easy these days, haha. I might do this design again for a party next month since it matches the dress I'm planning to wear.. when in doubt, color block. Seriously.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend! :)
