Stitched Heart Nails (+ Tutorial)

Neon Tribal Nails (+ Tutorial)

It is time for a little recreation time. ;) I pretty much did this exact design 2 years ago as a #bestietwinnails mani with the famous Miss Hannah from The Nail Trail. It was such a pretty design and I hate how it looked from when I did it back in 2013. If you must look at my original tribal nail art, click here. I am very proud of how much I have improved. :) Keep reading for more photos and my tribal nail art tutorial!

Black & White Triangles (+ Tutorial)

Hello, hello! I hope you all had a fabulous 4^th of July weekend – it finally hit the low 90s over here… I’m sure there are a few of you laughing at that “relatively low” temperature but over here in Eastern Washington, it’s just way too warm. xD The nail art that I have for you today is a chic black and white triangle nail design inspired by Kylie @kylettta on Instagram. :) We actually did a #maniswap so keep reading to see what mani she recreated.

X Marks the Spot (+ tutorial)

 The most important skill to have when doing doing tape manicure is patience. There is a reason why you rarely see your Polish Pal doing tape manicures -- striping tape is insane. However, there has been a very popular criss-cross nail art design floating around that I just had to try. Sadly it does require striping tape for those perfectly crisp lines so that's why they make perfect accent nails. ;) Keep reading for my striping tape tutorial too!

 Hello, hello! I finally have my Halloween nails that I promised to show you all yesterday! I've had these on since Sunday and wanted to post them then but I decided I should wait. So today I am starting this post off by showing my classic "thumb shot". (If you take a look at my posts frequently, you'll notice that I love my thumbs and they usually turn out better than the rest of my other nails. xD Hence, the reason why I showcase them is because they're the best!) Ahem. Anyway, I suggest you keep reading if you're interested in creating your own spiderweb nails for Halloween. ;)

 

Volleyball Nails (+ Tutorial)

Wowza! Okay ladies... I am extremely embarrassed to show you my nails but after almost a week of no nail art, I decided it was time to do some. My pinky nail had the worst break ever on Monday so I was forced to file all my nails. :/ Oh well, I was bound to break them all in judo anyways bahaha. xD

 

So let's take a look at my Volleyball Nails! I made a volleyball nail art tutorial more than a year ago and I still see it being pinned on Pinterest quite often but it's so old and gross.. It's about time to recreate these sport nails with the much better me. ;) So here is a quick look at what my nail length is now (yeah, I warned you) and how my finished volleyball nails turned out! :D Keep reading if you're interested in learning how to make your own volleyball nails. ;)

L is for Leopard

Wooooooah.... One of the busiest weeks of the year is now done! ;) Sorry about being absent for a while! I haven't done my nails for FIVE days bahaha. I wore my favorite pink OPI Bubble Bath the entire time. :) But now it's time to continue my alphabet nail art challenge!

Rainbow Zebra Print Tutorial

Hey guys! Here is another short break from the ABC Nail Challenge! :) I do actually have my "K" nails ready but I decided to wait to post them because there is a Rainbow Nail Collab happening on Instagram and we aren't supposed to post the nails until everyone is done. ;) Well... that's ironic because my K nails were my first rainbow patterned nails and I was so obsessed that I decided to do rainbow nails AGAIN. ;D So today I have for you my rainbow zebra nails!!

 

Currently on Instagram, I have my first VIDEO tutorial on how to do gradient nails. :) Be sure to check it out if you haven't already! (Keep in mind that the IG vids can only be 15 seconds. xD Everyone's favorite part seems to be my quick ending. "Cleanuptopcoatdone." You'll only understand if you watch the video. ;) So click here and watch it!) Now, I'll show you how my finished rainbow zebra nails turned and let's learn how to make your own zebra print art. :)

 

Sidewalkers by NYC

Whooo! We're back to Swatch Sundays! ;D I know it's been a while but I honestly have been forgetting what day of the week it is and by the time it's Sunday, I don't have anything ready to post. xD (THIS IS WHAT SUMMER DOES TO YOU! AHHHHHH!) Anyho. Today for Sunday's Swatch, I have for you Sidewalkers by NYC. Like any NYC polish, it's super cheap (less than $2 at Walmart or any other store) but I actually like the formula! Let's check out some more pictures of this pretty grey polish by NYC. :) (Oh and an added feather nail art tutorial! It's just something a little extra I forgot to add! ;))

 

G is for Giraffe

Hey everyone! Sorry for taking a while to do G. I've felt so uninspired lately and I have to admit that this week has been a bad week. Hopefully it's going to get better though because tomorrow I'm going to be preparing to help with a family friends' wedding!

I'm so excited. :) So for today's ABC Challenge, I am bringing you G is for Giraffe!

B is for Bunny

 For today's ABC Nail Challenge, I have some adorable bunny nails! :D I didn't get to do many Easter nails this year because I was busy but we can say this is an example of an Easter mani. (Keep in mind though that I have a different opinion of what Easter is all about! It's not about rabbits, eggs, or chocolate for me. It's John 3:16). But anyway, bunny nails are adorable in any occasion. :) Keep reading for my bunny tutorial!
