Purple and Gold Floral Nails (Re-do!)

Hello everyone! 😄

Welcome back to my mani re-do series, haha. 

Today's recreation is of my Purple and Gold Floral nails from about a year ago! You all really loved this mani last time, and so did I. But my nails were so short back then!! I think the design looks a lot nicer now that my nails have grown out a bit.

You can check out my original post here, or keep reading to hear how I did this design!

Holographic Plastic Bag Marble Mani

Hello everyone!

I did this super easy manicure the other day, inspired by all the plastic bag marble manis that I've seen Young Wild and Polished posting on Instagram lately!

I have done this nail art technique a few times before, but it has definitely been a while. The plastic bag technique is such an easy way to create some marble nails, and for the most part I am pretty happy with how this design turned out. 

Keep reading to find out how I created this mani!

Purple and Gold Floral Nails

Hello everyone!

Today I have another floral design to share with you. I guess I've been on a floral kick lately haha :) But I'm really happy with how this design came out!

One of my favorite nail polish colors is Color Club "Holy Chic!". It is such a gorgeous cool-toned purple, and it is perfect in two coats! I used that as the base for my floral nails. I also wanted to add some metallic accents to this design so I used Salon Perfect "Gold Leaf" for the gold parts of this design.

Pink Nautical Nails | Mani Recreation!

Hello everyone!

I have been feeling a little uninspired lately, so I went back through my old manis to see if there was anything that could give me any ideas. And I came across my old pink nautical nails from July of 2013!

I remembered how much I loved this design, and I knew that I had to recreate it.

Mix & Match 4th of July Nails

Hello everyone!

Happy 4th of July! What better way to celebrate than to put some red, white, and blue on your nails? I decided to create this mix & match patriotic mani to wear for the occasion. (I am so proud of myself for actually doing a holiday manicure in time for the holiday, haha)

I wanted to add a fun twist to the usual stars and stripes mani, so I did two accent nails with the Star Swirl Nail Vinyls from Snail Vinyls and (surprise, surprise) Starrily "Ultima" on my index and ring fingers. I think the result is a really fun and cute 4th of July design!

Pastel Galaxy Nails

Hello everyone! 

Today I have a very cute mani to share with all of you! After doing a blob gradient in my previous nail design, I realized how much the colors looked like a colorful galaxy. And it dawned on me that I have never done pastel galaxy nails! So here they are :)

Glitter Snowflake Nails

Hello everyone!

Long time, no see! I know that some of you have been missing my nail art and I apologize for my long absence.

For those of you who don't know, I started my senior year in high school this year, which means my life has been taken over by college applications/preparations. On top of that, I am planning to be an art major, which means any extra time I have is spend on art pieces to create my portfolio.

With all of the time I have had to spend on my portfolio and college aps, my nail art was pushed to the back-burner. I have only worn plain colors on my nails for weeks... Sometimes even nothing at all!

But I have a quick winter-y nail design for all of you, which is perfect for Christmas and through the rest of winter.

Blue and Silver Glitter X Nails

Hello everyone!

I am SO excited about today's mani. I had this idea in my head of how I wanted to do a design with these amazing Right Angle nail vinyls from Snail Vinyls and I ended up loving how it looked so much that I did it on both of my hands! It's one of those nail designs where it turned out exactly the way I had hoped! Yay!! :)

Wave Gradient Nails using Snail Vinyls

Hello everyone!

Can you tell I'm in a summery mood? Haha last week I did a mermaid scale design, and now I have this wave design! I used the beach wave nail vinyls from Snail Vinyls to create this design!

Pink and White Lace Nails | Born Pretty Store Nail Wrap Review

Hello everyone!

As many of you probably know by now, I absolutely love girly, pink designs, and I love the look of lace nails. However, I don't have the patience or fine enough brushes to paint them by hand, and I have never tried stamping before so I haven't attempted doing lace nails that way.

Luckily, Born Pretty Store was kind enough to send me these gorgeous white lace nail wraps to try out! They have a clear backing and have little silver rhinestones as a little accent.

Soft Purple Gradient Nails with Born Pretty Store Bow

Hello everyone!

Today I have a nice "refresher" mani to share with you all. I wanted to do something simple and pretty that would compliment this cute little silver nail bow from Born Pretty Store (these come in a bunch of different, silver and pearl designs, but the one I'm using here is #727).

After a serious amount of resisting from reaching for a light pink, I picked up Color Club "Holy Chic" for the gradient in this mani. Not only do I love the name, but the color is stunning and creates such a lovely gradient when paired with white. I've really been loving purples and blues lately, and while this is definitely a light purple it does lean towards that sort of cool purple/periwinkle color. It is gorgeous!

I am so excited to share these gorgeous Color Club cream polishes with you! I got these beauties from Live Love Polish, an online nail polish store that carries cruelty-free brands like Models Own, LVX, and China Glaze, as well as some indie brands like Pretty & Polished and Colores de Carol.

First up is Color Club "Pucci-licious" is a gorgeous cool purple cream that is completely opaque in two thin coats. The application was so smooth and the polish itself is beautiful!

Blue and Silver Bling Nails

Hello everyone! :)

Today I have a new nail art design for all of you who love a little (or a lot) of sparkle!!

I received this gorgeous bow and heart nail charm from Born Pretty Store, and as soon as I saw it I knew that I had to create a totally glam nail design that featured it!
