Pink and Gold Floral Nails (Re-do!)

Hello everyone!

Hope you're all doing well. Sorry for my lack of blog posts! I'm back at college and will be posting a little less frequently. I've been working hard to not disappear like last year, but I still won't be posting as often as I do in the summer.

I've really been loving this series I've been doing on my blog recently where I re-do some of my most popular designs. So, I decided to continue it and re-do my Pink and Gold Floral Nails!

I did these in July of 2016, and they are one of my most popular manis to date. They're probably one of my most reposted pins on Pinterest!

When I did them last year, though, my nails were super short and now looking back, I'm not super happy with how the photos look! Now that my nails are longer I thought the design would look a lot nicer.

Pink and Gold X Nails

Hello everyone!

Since I really enjoyed re-doing my blue quatrefoil nails last week, I decided to recreate another one of my favorite manis! This one is an oldie but a goodie: my pink and gold X nails from when I did a mani swap with Julie from @ wannaknowasecret! (Her username is now @ julie_awouters). 

When I first did this mani, I used individual straight nail vinyls to create the X shape since I didn't have my beloved right angle vinyls yet (can you believe it?!)

Check out my original version from over 2 years ago here! It's awesome to see my improvement over the years.

Keep on reading to see how I created this design!

My 19th Birthday Nails

My 18th Birthday Nails!

Hello everyone!

Today, August 16th, is my 18th birthday! :)

Every year, I do my nails for my birthday in a typical "Erin" style. Lately, my style has been much more simple, and with cute pastel colors. For this year's birthday mani, I decided to incorporate chevrons (my fave), glitter, and one of my all-time favorite polishes: Floss Gloss "Lavish".

Pink and Gold Floral Nails

Hello everyone!

Today I have a super girly design to share with all of you.

I was just kind of brainstorming some nail art the other day, and I decided that I wanted to do a nail art design that incorporated chevrons! A few years ago, chevrons on my ring finger was literally every other mani for me. Haha I am still obsessed with this look, but I haven't done any chevron nail art in so long.

I am so in love with how this design came out!

Gradient and Floral Nails

Hello everyone!

I have yet another girly design for you today, but this time I tried my hand again at freehand flowers! I find that every time I try them out, I improve on them a lot and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out this time :)

Gradient Heart Nails

Hello everyone!

I have great news! My college application process is coming to a close and that means that (*fingers crossed*) I will have more nail art time. Yay! :)

I recently received some adorable Valentine's Day nail vinyls from Snail Vinyls. I absolutely loved the heart nail stencils, so I decided to do this simple gradient heart design!

Royal Princess Nails

Hello everyone!

In case you haven't heard, there is a new royal baby: Charlotte Elizabeth Diana! I thought it might be fun to do some girly princess nails in honor of her :)

A while back I received this crown nail charm from Simply Spoiled Beauty and I thought it would be perfect for this design! (I don't currently see this exact charm listed on their site, but they have a ton of other nail bows and nail art tools that I'm sure you all will love.

Mix & Match Easter Nails

Hello everyone!

I don't think that I did any Easter nails last year, so now I'm making up for it with this mix and match Easter mani!

There are so many different designs that you can do for Easter, and I couldn't choose which one I wanted to do! So I decided to incorporate a little bit of everything :) 

Valentine's Day Nails: Pink Stripes with Heart Studs

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

I've been a little under the weather for the past few days but I wanted to do a quick Valentine's day design for you all!

I've seen a lot of lip manis, a lot of pink gradients, and a lot of gradient hearts, so I wanted to try something different and a little more simple. I decided on this stripe design, and I used the heart studs to capture the Valentine's day theme.

Pink and Gold Nails | Mani Swap with Julie @wannaknowasecret!

Hello everyone!

Today I have this fun pink and gold mani that I did in a mani swap with Julie (@wannaknowasecret)!

Julie reached out to me last week asking if we wanted to do some nail art together again. It has been so long since we last collaborated! Of course I said yes, and we decided to do a mani swap! I chose this beautiful design of hers, inspired by Ashley Tisdale. I just love the combination of light pink and gold!  Click here to see her original version of this mani.

I'm pretty sure that Julie free-handed her accent nail in her mani since she is a nail wizard, but I used the skinny straight stripes nail vinyls from Twinkled T to be more precise since I just do not have that kind of free-hand skill! Haha :)
