homemade nail art

Nail Painting Fun and Foolery!

1. Wet’n’Wild nailpoisl not only costs $1.99 a bottle, but it’s cruelty-free!
2. OPI is cruelty-free, pricier than #1, but really high quality serious stuff
3. Painting your nails = crazy, silly, whimsical-like is really fun!  Who knew?

My pals have all really gotten into nail polish and nail art.  Like REALLY into it.  They’re all obsessed, it’s been the big thing this summer.  So I decided to jump in and try it out.  I always keep my nails short, and don’t really get too clever with them.  But since joining the world of nail art. I’ve had so much fun!

I free hand everything.  I’m still a super beginner.  No sponges or stamps, fancy techniques for me.  Just basic painting with nail polish.

Check me out:

the other hand =)

current nails! forest green base. white flowers, one on each nail. purple and/or pink polish on top of the white. every flower has a light green stem. adorables!

love these, black with diamond glitter + purple with gold glitters.

i tried some color gradient business… this attempt was err… rough? … to say the least. yikes!

close up!

pink with black tips = super duper fun and matched a million outfits

purple is always so pretty

i LOVE hot pink and i LOVE white tips. so yeah, i LOVE all this.

i feel like this looks too circus-y. i’m not sure why, it looks like a circus tent or something to me. no me gusta.

so fun, yes?

grrrrr!

earlier this week’s nails: white base (which is so fun when i have a tan) and pink hand painted flowers
