Shape Shifter Nails

Hello pretty girls! here is a nail tutorial freshly polished! I have been loving geometric shapes lately and as you can see I have been playing around with my striping tape again and I got some cool looks out of it! I ran into the problem again with the tape, it was pretty tricky to apply but having some tweezers on hand were a big help :) I did some diamond shapes on my index finger, stripes on my middle finger, and on my ring finger I did triangle shapes. The looks were pretty simple to achieve, the only problem I had encountered was pulling some of the tape off too early! Make sure your top coat of polish is COMPLETELY dry before pulling off the tape! Luckily my mistake didn't ruin my nails! The top coat of polish you apply has to be dry in order for your lines to come out clean and straight! good luck!

Pretty Little Picture---Hello Summer!

Nail Of The Day!

it's official! summer is here and its time to make a splash!! :) I just came back from my cousin's graduation/commencement and it was so cool! Definitely a role model to aspire to be like and just learn from, so proud of him! The ceremony was really cool and just listening to all the accomplished individuals that shared the stage with him were very inspiring! Dressing for the event I went with a cute spring colored dress and some fun bright nails. The nail polish is from the new Summer 2012 collection from essie and oh my gosh. I AM LOVING IT! I have been on the hunt for a nice orange that flattered my skin tone for a while and stumble upon these beauties at target! It didn't help that the pink and orange were sitting right next to each other looking too cute of a couple to separate haha.. and then I came home with two lol I did an every-other pattern because I just loved the combo so much! haha got some compliments while I was at the ceremony from some family members hah thats always a plus. All in all definitely worth it, the colors are great and like every essie polish the formula is quite opaque (2 coats on my nails) just for good measure :) these are only two of the shades from the collection so there are definitely more to choose from! hoped you liked the nails of the day! enojoy!

The Nail Polish:

Pink-"Off the shoulder"-Essie

Orange-"Fear or Desire"-Essie

My Current Fave

Hello ladies, just wanted to show you what I have been seeing plenty of girls rockn' and wearing...and  I am loving it! Mismatched nails are so in this season! Especially when you can incorporate your favorite brights on your nails :) the trick here is to not have a pattern, no structure at all, just have fun with mixing up your nails with different colors. As you can see I didn't go too crazy, I basically stayed in the same color family for both but hey, how cute do my nails look? I am definitely digging this look :) loving this too? I should you mine, can you show me yours? haha comment or send me what your mismatched nails look like!

Nail Polishes used:

Mob Squad-Essie (fuchsia pink)

Trout Pout-Butter London (coral-peach pink)

Age of Aquarious-Color Club (turquoise---from my march birchbox :) btw)
