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.

It's Almost 2015!

I cannot believe that today is the last day of 2014. Like many other's I feel like turning over a new leaf, for me it involves blogging. I have been inconsistent with all my social media accounts so for the past couple of weeks during my winter break I have been devising a way in which I can make sure I keep on top of it all and I think I found a way to do it! Also, if my first plan does not seem to be working then I have a Plan B and even a Plan C! So yeah, you can say I'm getting pretty serious haha. And with that heres the my nail art for the new year:

30 Day Challenge: Splatter Paint

Woohoo platter! I love splatter nail art because it is such a fun look and so easy to do, not to mention it takes just a few minutes to complete. For this design I went with a neutral base and bright colors for the splatter. I'm 99% sure I saw this color combination for splatter nails somewhere on the interwebs but I'm not positive where.

30 Day Challenge: Studs

I was really excited about today's theme because I imagined a really fun and elaborate stud manicure but unfortunately I don't have the kind of studs I wanted or nearly enough of the kind I do have. I currently only have a small wheel of studs from Forever 21 so I made do with that. I hope I can beef up my collection in the near future because I have so many fun stud manicures in my head that I so desperately want to bring to life. This manicure only has one studs but it fits the requirement for today's theme. I went with a simpler style of mix and match nails, which I hope you enjoy!

30 Day Challenge: Negative Space

Hey! So I knew what I wanted to do for today's theme for quite some time. My boyfriend is known for constantly changing his hair color. He started in September and has been through seven colors, technically ten. He started off with bleach blonde which he then turned to white and later turned to a very light gray, he then went red (which turned pink), blue (which turned purple), yellow green and a bit of blue (which inspired this manicure) and lastly teal (which has been turning green). In his second to last color change, the yellow green) he went with something even more over the top. For the first time he went to the stylist to get his hair dyed and said she could do whatever she pleased with his hair and she definitely did! Not only did she make his hair an array of colors she put a design on the back of his head! While I have gotten used to his ever-changing hair color I was not ready for his new hair cut. I was not a fan of it but I did think it would work in a nail design.
