Tiffany & Co. Inspired Nails
This week was my best friends BACHELORETTE party!! The theme was Tiffany & Co., mostly because I loved how classy it was and the color combo. I thought it would be perfect for the soon-to-be bride.

I'm adding a NON-NAIL post to show some of the party pics and ideas we put together.
But back to the nails, the China Glaze color is actually called For Audrey, so it's the exact teal color I needed. The accent nail is inspired by a black dress and pearls, so classy and SO Audrey Hepburn. The thumb is the classic bow from those little blue boxes!
*Left hand.* Ugh these nails are too nubby!!
Check out my Tiffany & Co. inspired Bachelorette party here!!

Hello!! Spring has sprung everyone, and now the browns and grays of winter MUST be replaced with pastels, neons, and FLOWERS!!! YAY!!!
This design is inspired by Lilly Pulitzer, a fashion designer famous for her bright floral prints... the perfect inspiration for the first floral nails of the spring!
Doesn't this print just SCREAM spring!??
I used one of my favorite blues!! China Glaze "For Audrey."
Hope spring has started off beautifully for everyone!!

Mocha Rouge-- Vera Bradley Nails
I love these!! Yet another Vera Bradley "nailspiration." This is the print called "Mocha Rouge," easily one of my favorite prints! Actually. . . I have the wallet, and it's great.
Here's my color pallet. I think it's pretty dead on! The pinks are China Glaze "Purple Panic (Neon)" and Orly "Cotton Candy." The brown is Revlon "Stormy" I LOVE this color! Whenever I do my friends nails a lot of times I end up using this color!
I cut my nails back. They get to a certain point and I get so annoyed by the length. I've had this design on for a few days and the chipping has been minimal, which is pretty good for me. So I think the length of my nails plays a part in that!
Ignore my cuticles, I don't know what the deal is!!
This design isn't as hard to accomplish as it looks! I always start with the base coat of course, then the light pink, white, dark pink, and then outline most of the flowers with a black striping brush.
Enjoy my VB design! I'm not sure if I will be doing anymore anytime soon! Some of the other designs I've tried haven't turned out as good.

Rainbow Gradient Squared
| Rainbow Gradient Squared |
This was inspired by a YouTube tutorial from Cutepolish (Rainbow Ombre). The squares were just for some added fun. This mani is crazy bright! Pretty cool for summer, but not really my style. I'm really loving doing gradients though!!
Colors used: white striping brush, Nina Ultra Pro "French White," China Glaze "Flip-Flop Fantasy," Nina Ultra Pro "Solar Flare," Sinful Colors "Why Not," and a black striping brush.

Subtle Summer Flowers
| Subtle Summer Flowers |
I used Loreal "Orange you Jealous" & China Glaze "Peachy Keen," two colors perfect for the start of summer!
I experimented with different numbers of petals, and I definitely think more is better, five or six gives you a full looking flower. The flowers with four petals look like a sun beam or something... oh well :)
Try it for yourself! :)
