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! 

Hearts and Stripes Mani

Heart and stripes

This mani speaks for itself. All the colors are used on the thumb in stripes, and the heart adds some fun. This was inspired by a pedicure I saw on Pintrest... I don't know the artists name but here's the link (sorry it's in Japanese!!). 

Colors used: white striping polish, Sally Hansen "Get Juiced," Sally Hansen "Lacey Lilac," Nina Ultra Pro "French White," Sally Hansen "Blue-Away," black striping polish. 

Enjoy the summer with this fun and bright mani!! 

Braided Nails

Braided hair is easy and fun for summer, and braided nail art is fun for summer too!! A fellow nail art friend did these for me when we had a much needed nail date :) 

On a side note... I got a new camera for graduation!! Canon Rebel T3, so hopefully my blog pictures will be getting better! ;) 

Water Spotted Mani

Yesterday I tried out a water spotted mani! It's pretty easy and very similar to doing water marble nails! For a tutorial see Spotted Water Mani! You can use any color for this mani. To get the ripping effect I used a perfume spray, but you can use other products to get the same effect!
I used another technique to get the water color marbling effect (see Watercolor Spotted Nails) 
Try it out for yourself! It's fun and versatile! 

Limes Up! Vera Bradley Nails

This nail are is inspired by the Vera Bradley pattern "Lime's Up." It is so fun and summery with the blues and greens! 

Stay tuned for more VB nail inspiration!
