summer nails

I got this Color Club nail polish in my birchbox this month and I LOVE it! The color is called Blue-Ming and I was so surprised at how this color turned out.

It looks like its just sort of a minty blue color but on my nails it ended up being so much more neon!

And then at brunch on Saturday my friend C and I started taking some fun neon nail pics with our blue and purple…

And then K wanted to join in with her pretty neon pink and we made it a neon party!

Love love love pastely-neon (what a contradiction?!) nails right now for the summer. It makes your hands look tan and it is a perfect accessory to any summer outfit.

color block nails

For my Sunday night manicure I decided to try out color blocking on my nails in sort of a stained glass pattern. I started off by painting my nails white and then used neon green, neon yellow, tangerine, teal, and gold polishes to create an array of colors on my nails.

 

After that, I used my Orly thin striping polish to outline the nails and separate the colors. I left some white on the nails to incorporate it into the design. The result? This fun stained glass pattern on my nails that I will be sad to remove. I think this is a manicure I will continue to experiment with this spring and summer, since its so bright and fun looking.

tribal nails

Decided to give tribal nails a try since I have been seeing them all over instagram, pinterest, and the blogosphere.

To create successful tribal nails, you need a black and a white striper polish. I used Orly’s Instant Artist polishes.

To start this off, I used OPI’s Fiercely Fiona as a base and added  some OPI’s Fly to my nails.

Then, I used the white to draw separating lines between the two colors.

Then, using the black and white, I made tribal like designs on my nails. I took some pictures of my left hand final product, because my right hand looks a little messy… I need some practice!

listen to your momager!

this is a deep royal glittery polish from the fall Kardashian Kolors Kollection by Nicole by OPI. This is the first time I’ve worn this one and I kind of love it! I will definitely be wearing this shade again, I’m angry I have looked it over in the past. It’s not really a spring-y but look out for my easter nails later this week!
