Color Blocked Gradient

Have you ever gotten to that point in the week when you just feel completely exhausted and you're beyond ready for the weekend? Have you ever gotten to that point on a Tuesday? Maybe it's just because my weekend was so amazing or maybe this week really is just the worst but it's been a rough couple of days and I'm really looking forward to the weekend.

But there's nothing quite like some relaxing nail art to really take your mind off of things. 

Rainbow Water Marble

Every once in a while, I just have to do a water marble. I'm one of those odd people who loves to water marble. As the years have gone by I've found them to be easier and easier to do. I used to get frustrated with the process but a few things have really helped. 

Born Pretty Review

It's time for my first Bornprettystore.com review of 2017! And I'm really digging this one!

Christmas Smoosh

For my third Christmas nail art design I wanted to do something a little more abstract. I chose to create a Christmas colored smoosh design. They're quick, easy, and they look really cool.

Flakies, Gradients, & Holo

Have you ever started doing your nails and you can't stop just adding more and more until you realize that you may have gone overboard? Yeah, I tend to do that. A lot. You know what, though? Sometimes more is more. Right?

Musical Pond Mani

I was playing around with my OPI ColorPaints and decided to do a pond manicure. I wanted to experiment a little, though, and see how well it would work with stamped images. It turns out that it works quite well.

Holographic Fall Nails

Being that fall is my favorite season of them all, I'm so sad that we're only a month away from the first day of winter. Granted, it starts feeling like winter much earlier than mid December here, but in my heart, it's still autumn and I'm savoring it. We have a beautiful red maple tree in our yard and the leaves are sprinkled all over the place and it's so pretty.

One of my favorite things lately has been my drive home from work. It's been so windy and when the wind catches all of the fallen leaves, they swirl across the roads and around the cars. It feels like the scene in Pocahontas when she stands in the breeze with the leaves and her hair swirling around. 

I seriously love autumn. I wanted to do a manicure that screamed fall but still had some simplicity to it. So, I grabbed two holo polishes. You know, because it can't be TOO simple. ;)

31DC2016 Day 31 - Honor Nails You Love

I made it. The last day of the challenge and only one day behind schedule. For the prompt, I chose a design that I've actually been wanting to recreate for a very long time. I have always put it off, though, because it's complicated and time-consuming. 

The design I chose to honor is the reciprocal scaled gradient by Simply Nailogical. 

 

31DC2016 Day 16 - Geometric

Just a quickie post today.

Colors: NfuOh 61 (Silver Linear Holo) & Color Club Trippie Hippie

31DC2016 Day 15 - Flowers

I didn't notice until today that I messed up the prompts. Today's prompt is actually delicate print but I mistakenly did that one yesterday. Yesterday's prompt was supposed to be flowers so I'm doing that one today instead.

A long time ago, I ordered a mystery grab bag type thing from the Born Pretty Store and it was full of water decals and stickers. One set was just a random mish-mosh of flowers, bows, and KITTIES! I thought it was the cutest and since I was feeling a tad lazy today, I decided to use those for today's design.

31DC2016 Day 5 - Blue Nails

It's blue nails day. I was pretty excited for today's prompt. I've always loved wearing blue nail polish; even when I was growing up, that was one of my favorite nail polish colors. 

Holo Pond Manicure

It's Spring! How exciting! Now, Spring isn't by any means my favorite season. Fall is. But there's something magical about spring. I love the beginning of spring; the time of year when there's still enough of a chill to wear a light sweater but everything is starting to bloom. It is lovely. 

To celebrate, I slapped together a fun, bright mani to wear. You'll notice that I'm back to square nails. I thought it was time for a change. I'm not sure how I feel about it, though. I'm already missing the round shape...

Born Pretty Review

Review time! I actually did this review design quite some time ago; over a month ago, to be honest. But I was so focused on the 31 Day Challenge that I had forgotten about it. But better late than never, right?

31DC2015 Day 1 - Red Nails

It's finally here! The 31 Day Challenge is officially upon us and I'm STOKED! I know a lot of people begrudgingly take part in the challenge but I love it. It is difficult at times but it IS called a challenge for a reason. I'm particularly enthusiastic this year because I've been in a bit of a slump and this is just the thing to perk me up!

I knew days ago exactly what I wanted to do for the day one prompt AND which nail polishes I wanted to use. I'm never this prepared!

Just a Quickie: Glittery Neon Gradients

Why are neons so great? Super bright colors in normal light, outrageously bright colors in daylight, and fun glowy colors in black light!

Colors: Funky Fingers Highlighter, Like Clockwork, Atomic Poppy, and Aloha!

Glitters: China Glaze Fairy Dust and Sally Hansen Open Mica Night

Neon & Holo Glitter

Everyone close to me knows that my favorite color is orange. I seriously have to fight the urge to not just ALWAYS have my nails painted orange. But haven't you ever gotten a new nail polish and it's just the only thing you want to reach for whenever you do your nails? That's how I am right now with ORLY Mayhem Mentality. I bought it because it's orange. But every time I look at it I love it more and more.

Holo & Roses

For some reason, I really really wanted to do some floral nails. There was nothing that prompted it, it just needed to happen. After some thought, I decided to do something with roses. I still wasn't sure on the game plan but some sifting through my nail polish stash quickly solved that problem. After I picked out some colors, a design idea worked its way into my brain and, eventually, onto my fingertips!

Late New Year's Nails

I don't know how exactly I forgot to post these nails, but I did them on New Year's Eve. Obviously, I meant to get them up before the first but that didn't happen. Well, I figured that it wouldn't hurt to share them anyway.

I did two designs because I wasn't happy with the first one. Well, looking back at the photos, I love them both now, so I'm sharing both designs with you!

Pink & Holo

I've had this queued up to post for days now. But the last week has been SO insane that I haven't had the energy to even blog. Today, I figured I  might as well catch up on my blogging since it's been a few days and I already had this ready.

A little while ago I got a new pink nail polish; Sally Hansen Flashy Fuchsia. I thought it would look good with some holographic polish. And it does!
