Rainbow Checkered Nails

RAINBOW Checkered Nails

Thank goodness Walmart has striping tape now! Finally I can create tiny lines without all the hassle. This checkered design is made easy with that one simple tool. 


Obviously I had to use a wide variety of colors. Basically, an entire rainbow :) But you could definitely pick ANY color and create a similar design. The colors I used (in order): Covergirl "lemon drop," Sally Hansen "sun kissed," Nina Ultra Pro "mariachi," Fingrs Heart 2 Art "teal we meet again,"Revlon "costal surf," Maybelline "iced queen."   




I like this design because it reminds me of a rubix cube, or a game board. And all the colors are super fun for summertime. 



Enjoy my design, and try it for yourself.

Fun Floral




This design is completely copied from another nail artist I follow on Instagram! She's Mr. Candiipants (follow the link to see all her designs) the way she does flowers really impresses me, so I  decided to try it out! :)



I think with some practice it could be even better!! 



Check out Mr. Candiipants for yourself. (link to my inspiration). Enjoy!

Patchwork Nails



The latest design-- patchwork nails!! These were so fun, eye catching, and bright! The idea is not my original design. It came from this blog (Rubio Olivo), it's all in Spanish so I can't understand the blog post, but I think the design was easy enough to figure out ;) 


This design took a little of every color it seemed like! 


Enjoy! And ignore my dry cuticles :)

Polo Ralph Lauren Inspired Nails


Finally found a way to have a boyfriend inspired manicure! :) My guy's go-to clothing brand is definitely Ralph Lauren! In fact, I think he has almost every color polo Ralph Lauren makes. So that's what inspired this mani-- the boyfriend and the ever classic polo :) 


The Ralph Lauren logo is the polo player... I think it turned out as well as i hoped it would. 


I went with pastel polo shirts, because I think they go together better than the darker or primary colors. 



I went with just a RL on the right hand.... there's no way I could paint the polo horse on my right hand! 


Enjoy! =)
