Fall Colored Triangles

I can't believe it's been since Halloween since I last did some nail art! I wanted to take advantage of the last of the autumn season to use some fall colors in this manicure for the 24th week of the /r/RedditLaquerisas 52 Week challenge. This week's challenge is "Symbols", and I've always been partial to triangles. I have included a picture tutorial as well for anyone who wants to recreate it.

Galaxy Nails

I was watching Interstellar on Friday (which I highly recommend) and it seemed appropriate to put some galaxies on my nails. Galaxy nails are a simple and forgiving design that turn out looking great no matter what. I have also included a picture tutorial to show how I made these nails.

Pastel Geometric Nails

The weather has been so beautiful lately that I am still feeling the spring-time colors! My last geometric pattern was one of my favorite designs and I wanted to replicate it with a different color palette. It's a little more muted than what I usually go for, but at least it doesn't clash with any of my outfits. I've included a picture tutorial for how I achieved this design.

Blue Swirls

When I started this manicure, I was picturing something vastly different. I was trying to go for more of an opaque blue jelly with a stamp in the middle. But, it was really late last night when I finally got around to doing my nails, so I ended up doing fewer coats, and my laziness really worked out this time! I think the design ended up looking kind of like blue porcelain. I have included a picture tutorial for how I achieved this look.

Wine, Gold, and White Cloud Manicure

I actually did this mani a few days ago, but haven't felt up to posting it because I came down with a stomach bug shortly after. Just my luck lately! Anyway, I like cloud manicures because they are pretty easy to do and they always look great. I couldn't find my nail art brushes anywhere, so these were actually done with just the regular brushes that came with the polishes. Not too bad, if I do say so myself.

Reverse Stamping Stars + Tutorial

Yesterday afternoon, I was inspired by a post I saw on the internet to try out a technique called "Reverse Stamping". It's a method for creating multi-colored stamp designs in the form of a nail decal. It was a little tricky to get the hang of, but once I did, it was very reproducible and seems like a great way to bring multiple colors into a stamp design. I also took this opportunity to make my own picture tutorial to instruct others on how to use this technique.
