Sharp Dressed Nails: October 2013

It has been far too long since I posted! I've been very busy as so many things have happened in two short months! I got a new job at the hospital in my town. Since I work in the food and nutrition services department, I am not allowed to have my nails painted!! So terrible... But anytime I have a couple days off you BETTER believe that my nails are not naked :) ALSO I got engaged!!! My fiance surprised me one day by showing up to my work (different job) it was so unexpected and I was definitely surprised... which was awesome! Keep scrolling for pics where I show off my ring ;)

So finally to my post... It's long, but hopefully you will enjoy it. I have been keeping my nails short lately, because longer nails have gotten annoying to me. Even though my nails are short I can still create great designs on them. And so can you! :) Enjoy!!

#1 The Herringbone

This was probably one of my favorites! I love nude bases with a design on them! And this was actually very simple to create.

#2 Dot Gradient

This dot gradient was fun, and as my boss told me obnoxious! Haha she said that because she thought I didn't want my nails to be like that when I got engaged (she was in on it) but I liked them... so these were my engagement day nails ;) wouldn't change it either!!!

#3 Triangle Tips

Triangle tips are one of my favorite nails designs because: a) It's really easy to recreate and b) You can use tons of different colors and it looks good

This is an older picture, and my nails are a little longer... but it does look good on short nails

#4 Ombre (Light to Dark)

This summer I've done so many ombre nail designs. It's so easy and always turns out good. I did little flags on these because they were my birthday nails :)

I also tried an orange ombre with glitter :)

#5 Pastel Floral

This was done a long time ago, but I think it belongs on the list because it looks good on short nails!

#6 Half-Moon Mani

#7 Triangle Tops and Cheetah Print

These were gorgeous!!! And inspired by Chelsea Queen, I can't find the link to her original picture... but it's on my Pinterest nail page (Nail-Art) Follow me :)
