Beach Vibes

I've been feeling the summer spirit lately. Even though it is already August, I have yet to make it to the beach and my legs surely show it, I could blind someone with how white they are. Since I haven't made the full effort to go to the beach, I decided putting the beach on my nails would be the next best thing!

Tidal Wave

Doesn't this nail look give you an oceany vibe? It was semi-sort of not really inspired by a movie called Poseidon that I remember my mom and I really enjoying. I actually remember having guests over in our previous apartment to see the movie, which is pretty big since we never really host any functions at home. I also remember my mom constantly commenting on how much she loved the movie, almost as much as I would comment on how much I loved the movie Hollow Man and that was saying something. For the past couple of months I have been thinking about this movie and trying to figure out what it was called. You would think I would just ask my mom but that's too easy and I have a terrible memory and always forgot to ask but one day in my dorm I couldn't stop thinking about that movie! I went online to find the title and after a few minutes of googling I found it! I now feel like I have satisfied my desire but do find myself occasionally thinking about the movie and when I thought of a blue gradient the first thing that popped into my mind was a huge wave ultimately leading me back to the plot of the movie. I decided to look up the movie again and was reminded that it's setting is on New Years Eve! How appropriate to have this Poseidon inspired nail art for my first manicure of 2015? Well, maybe I'm the only one who thinks so but that's okay.

30 Day Challenge: Gradient

Hey all! Guess what I have for ya today? A gradient! Gradients are always fun and it's a simple mani that seems really complicated and thats always great. I wanted to do a gradient with white and a bright color so I thought today would be a great time to do it. This mani is all kinds of perfect to me, its bright, playful and full of glitter!

Funky Pinstripe

Hey! I have some pretty fun nails to share with you today. I had no idea where I was going with this when I first started but I'm quite pleased with where I ended up. Gradients are extremely fun and easy and since I had only done one before, and it was only on one nail, I thought I should try it again. Blue and green seemed like the perfect combination for spring so I added that on and thought of what I could do next. My first thought was stamping but after trying and getting frustrated with my lack of skill I went with stripes, using striping tape I cut myself. I actually don't have any striping tape and am not really allowed to get anything online so I've been at a lost, until I found some at Ricky's but unfortunately it was overpriced and I'm usually broke so I rather save my money.

Purple and Blue Gradient

I hate that I haven't been able to blog lately. I broke my nail and it was so painful to even touch! Thankfully it has healed a bit and I was able to paint my nails again. I cut all my nails so that they would all be even. School has also slowed down substantially, which is exactly what I needed to get back into painting my nails.

I don't know if it is just me but this manicure seems a bit mermaid-esque, I like it and hopefully you agree. Although it has been pretty cold here in New York and is even supposed to snow tonight, I'm not going to let it stop me from enjoying spring pastels.
