I <3 nail polish!

These are my most recent nails. I did this fairly quickly before going out last Friday. I am in love with teals and blues at the moment, so I tend to lean towards that color family a lot when I painty nails. I especially love this teal/turquoise (not sure what to call it) with the green. My sister told me the green looks gross, but I really like it...especially when it's paired with this teal/turquoise. Both of these colors are from Forever 21 and were both super cheap (<$5). The polish is lasting fairly well...5 days later they are chipping a bit but nothing awful (and my nails seem to be prone to having polish chip off).

Anyways, I just used a tiny paintbrush to draw the hearts and do the dots. It was simple, cute, and easy!

Love,

Summer floral nails!

One of my favorite things to do is my nails. I'm not amazing at it, but I'm fairly good (for a newbie), and I've certainly come a long way from a year or two ago. I'm always looking for inspiration for easier-nail art that I can do on myself. Tumblr is always a good place for inspiration. I saw a really pretty floral nail on tumblr that led me to a video tutorial. As I'm watching this tutorial I'm thinking to myself that I might actually be able to pull this off...sort of. So I throw caution to the wind and decide to try it on one nail, figuring if it doesn't work I'll only have wasted time on one nail. So...this is how it came out:

Considering this was my first time ever attempting anything like this, and I have no "official" nail art tools by any means, I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself.

Here's the video tutorial that inspired me:

Ok, ok. I know hers look way better...but she's definitely more talented than I...that is for sure. Anyways, this is pretty easy, and I definitely think other newbies out there like me should try it too!

Love,
