November Movember Nails

Although I'm not the biggest fan of facial hair, I'm loving these mustache or moustache nails. Movember takes place in November to raise awareness for men's health issues. By growing a mustache this month you too can support the cause... But wait... I can't grow facial hair. My husband is on board this month ("No shave" November for him) and I'm trying my best to support, even though OUCH those prickly hairs hurt. My solution was to do these nails. :) 

I bought a new OPI polish recently called "My Vampire is Buff," and I LOVE IT. I am all into off-white these days it's not too stark yet still perfectly white. 

I wanted to keep the design simple yet colorful. 

I did some pictures with gloss top-coat and some with a matte top-coat, it's pretty hard to tell the difference in the pictures although I think the matte takes slightly better pictures.

Hope you enjoy my design! Check out my other nail art and follow me on Instagram or Pintrest. 

BYEEEE!!!

Spring Florals & Wedding Update!

This is the Tale of Two Florals

Peachy Floral

Nude Floral

If it feels like it's been forever since I have blogged any nail art... that's probably because it HAS been forever. 

First off... I'M MARRIED!! April 26, 2014 is a day I will always remember. We had beautiful skies, a lovely venue (Clark House), many guests, and oh- cupcakes, lots of them! 

  

Those puppies were tasty. Although I didn't get to try one until a month after the wedding-- But I digress. 

These nails are perfect for spring time. Which seems to be coming to a close. . . the suppressing heat of an Alabama summer is almost upon me, I look back fondly on pretty sunny days with a high of 75. 

Both of these florals are wonderful in different ways. When I am at a loss for what kind of nail art to create, my "go-to" always seems to be florals... or cheetah print. But really, if that's my go-to I'm  bond to never fail. 

It's sad to say, but lately my nails have been little nubbies. The poor things went through gels nails for the wedding, which as beautiful as they are racked my nails. Sadly, I am probably to blame. When the natural nail started growing out, I peeled off the polish... shhhhh don't tell anyone of this shameful action. 

Peace out!! Check out my other stuff and follow me on Instagram and Pintrest!! 

Holly Jolly Christmas Nails

Holly Jolly Christmas Nails

 These nails were inspired by Christmas holly! Pops of red against a green canvas is a artists dream color scheme... at least around Christmas time! 

 Ready or not Christmas is ONE WEEK away!! 

I'm not ready, by the way... I will be working three days up to Christmas, and two days after. No fun trips for me :( 

Please excuse my Snow White hands... spring time will hopefully come with sunshine so I can tan-up for my wedding in April! 

Where's the top coat?!?! I went Matte topcoat for this design... it seemed more natural... :) 

Merry Christmas to all!

10 Easy and Fun Nail Designs for SHORT Nails

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 :) 

 #8 Saran Wrap

 Saran wrap nails are great for short nails, and they are totally easy! 

#9 Pointed Colored Tips

Colored tips over a very subtle light pink base! Very simple, pretty and great for short nails!

#10 Stamped

To wrap up this post I have stamped nails! I have a Konad stamper and it's great for easy and quick nail art! 

Hope you enjoyed this post, and have some ideas to recreate for yourself!
