Water Marble - 3rd Time's the Charm

I've been really busy working lately, so when I started feeling a little sick on Monday, I decided to take a good long break and try out the water marble technique again. It turns out that I had caught the flu, so I was going to be taking quite a few more breaks this week! Anyway, I am glad I got to try out the water marble technique again, because it worked out spectacularly this time!

Rainbow Burst Nails

As a reward to myself for getting through another crazy week, I took some time to do a more complicated nail art design. I am so glad I did, because it turned out super well, and I can't stop staring at my nails! I was inspired by a tutorial I found while browsing the internet, and I knew I had to try it out myself.

Classic Red Nails with Heart Accents

It has been so long since I have had the time to sit down and do my nails! I decided that I at least wanted to do something simple for the graduate student Winter Formal that my boyfriend and I attended last weekend, so this is what I came up with! I wore a black dress, and I wanted to accent with some red.

Ipsy January 2015

This is a review for the Ipsy bag from January 2015. Ipsy is a monthly subscription box that focuses on makeup with some skincare, hair care, and nail polish products. It's $10/month (+ $.75 for tax (?)) for a small makeup bag plus 5 samples that are influenced by a quiz you take. You can earn Ipsy points for reviewing products, posting things to your facebook, and inviting friends. These points can be redeemed for additional full-sized products.

Black to Gold Gradient Nails

I've been so busy that I haven't had the chance to write about my most recent nail art yet. I wanted to do a gradient with some more challenging colors than I have done previously. So, I chose to do a black to gold gradient. I have been wearing this since Sunday and it still looks pretty good with just a little bit of wear at the tips!

Opal Nails

I decided to do something really simple the other day based on a suggestion I got on a reddit post. The intention was to make an opal effect, which is awesome because opal is my birthstone! I do like how this turned out, though in the future I might use a more pearly colored white polish for the base.

Sample Simple Nail Designs

A little while ago, I put together a wheel of relatively simple nail designs for practice and to show my friends. I mostly did winter-y colors and patterns since I have another wheel that I plan on putting more summer-y designs on. Please "Read More" to see close up pictures of the designs.
