Geometric Ombre

Posted on Sunday, November 24, 2013

Let me start out by saying I chopped off my talons! They were getting a little out of control and I was really starting to miss my square nails. Since it's fall I wanted to do something festive without being completely over the top. I love crazy intense nail art, but I have been really into simpler looks lately.

I started out with a basic yellow, orange, and brown ombre. I then decided to give my nails some life with these fun, super easy, geometric triangles. As an accent I filled in two of my fingers, which I'm still not totally convinced about.



Then I saw my NYC - Matte About You and I just couldn't resist mattifying this look.



So, what do you guys like better? Normal or Matte?

Happy Halloween!

Posted on Thursday, October 31, 2013

Generally I don't really celebrate Halloween. I think I only dressed up a couple times as a child and never got the chance to grow the live for all things creepy. Since I'm so undeceive I decided to do a skittles mani so I could try out a few different designs.



I started with the mummy on my thumb, which is actually my favorite, I think it might just be because I love base color, Sinful Colors Colored Pearl. I then moved on to Frankenstein, who appears to be smirking, but thats okay. On my middle finger I painted a cute little ghost, but I top coated too soon and he streaked (boo hoo.) Can't have Halloween without the pumpkins and candy corn can you?

So guys, what do you think?

Have a safe Halloween!

Getting Ready For Fall!

Posted on Thursday, October 3, 2013

I decided to go for something simple yet kind of edgy this week. I usually steer clear of orange polish, but 'tis the season! Besides, this one is so bright and vibrant I can kind of pretend it's still summer, right?





I started with just a simple gradient from orange to black, but that just wasn't enough for me. So I sat around staring at them trying to spice them up.



I took that weird fan brush that no one uses and streaked the colors into each other to give them this eerie, jagged look. I definitely want to try this in other colors.

Inspired By Art

Posted on Saturday, September 28, 2013

After a few months on hiatus I have decided to start blogging again. It gives me a way to explain why I do what I do and share it with people everywhere.

My cousin, Lauren Shea Little, is an artist and student who has a way of provoking thought and emotion with everything she does. Todays post is inspired by a painting she did a while back that I have always been fascinated with. It's really simple, but it makes such a statement that pictures do not do it justice.



This was my time first working with my newly round/almond shaped nails and I love the way they turned out.



Colors used: Julep - Lisa, Wet n Wild - French White & Black Creme
