Hey all, sorry I've been bad blogger lately. I've been busy all last week, one of my friends visited from California and we went on college tours for several days. So yeah I've been away, and unable to blog. I'm not sure how much time I'm gonna have in the coming weeks, I'm not really going to be home much and I'm leaving for China on Friday. But I've got some nail art for today!

Detailed Delicate Pattern With Pink Accents
Well I really couldn't think of a better title for this post. I tried, but I have no idea what to call this. I tried my hand with another detailed design, with the help of my trusty teeny detailing brush, and I kinda like the end result here! Keep reading to see the rest!

India Inspired Nails
Hey guys! Today the Lacquer Legion's prompt was due, and it was On Holiday. For summer yaknow? This kinda stumped me for a while, because the only nail art I could picture was palm trees on a sunset gradient, or a beach or something, and that just seemed sooo boring. Nothing personal against palm trees, but you guys know I just crave to be unique. Then I remembered that ever since I was little, I've wanted to go to India. I did a quick Google search of India patterns and colors, and found some beautiful elephant images with gorgeous designs. So I used those to inspire each of my nails here. And look, I'm actually posting this one on time!

Orange Bows
Hey hey everyone! So YAYYY for the US for surviving that group of death right?! No one thought we could do it, but the American team performed excellently and we were determined, and we made it through! AND over Portugal and Ghana! You can't blame me for being so happy about this.
I don't have any nail art that's at all related, but I DO have these orange bows!

Neon Moons & Tips On Nude
Hi guys. I know I'm supposed to be excited and all. About it being almost the last day of sophomore year. But I'm like kinda bummed about Spain and everything. It's not like I was rooting for them or anything, I just wanted Spain to win something. It was a sad ending:( But hooray for Chile I guess!
So this post is gonna be a quick one. I did a simple half moon and tips mani, with some neons on nude.

Stained Glass Nails
So like one of my favorite nail designs ever is probably stained glass. You can always make it as colorful as you want, or you can pick any color scheme you like. They're a great way to express yourself, and you can also make them as detailed or as basic as you want. The lines can be straight, jagged, bent, anything! Ok so I love stained glass nails.

Colorful Concentric Circles
Hey hey hey and sorry for the long time no post everyone! It's the last couple of weeks of school for me (then so long sophomore year!) and it's been SO crammed and busy. I've got tons of projects, reports, papers, but mostly projects :( I did have some nail art last week that i'll be sharing today! They're fun and colorful, and the color scheme was inspired by the lovely bracelet I'm holding!

Splatter Nail Art With Zoya Tomoko & Stevie
I have some nail art today using a couple Zoya pixiedust polishes, you guys heard me raving about them last week! I took my 2 favorites, Tomoko and Stevie, and decided to do some splatter nail art! It's not something I do often, because it's so abstract and I have so little control over the design, I don't really like doing splatter nails. The past couple times I've tried it my nails have just come out awful lol. Please keep reading to see more!

The ring finger is Zoya-Lux, the middle and index fingers have OPI-Chic From Ears To Toe with OPI-Solitaire for the dots, and the thumb is OPI-Solitaire on its own. There I said it would be quick right? Thanks all of you for reading and have a wonderful Easter Sunday!

Red & Pink Roses
Hey guys! So I'm like 4 days late with this post, but I have nails for the first day of spring! I don't know about you, but it's been a ROUGH winter for us New Jersyians, and I'm glad it's finally over. Like, I need some warm weather, time to break out the wedges, the tank tops, the cuts pastel jackets, you hear me right?
For my lovely springtime mani I brought back my roses nail design I did for the nailartfeb challenge last month. (I told you I'd be doing them again:P) I used a different color scheme this time and opted for red and pink.

Circles Mani With Ombre Background
Hi everyone happy Monday! Did everyone have a nice weekend? Mine was quite nice, I did LOT'S of cleaning! Little early for spring cleaning I guess, but I just sorta "got in the mood" if you know what I mean. I managed to totally rearrange my room, and I also got rid of a huge box that's been taking up room in the basement for AGES. Mission accomplished haha!
So today's nail art for you all today is this nice concentric circle design. Take a look!

Feather Nail Art
Hi everyone happy Friday! I hope you've all had a great week, mine was pretty great. My school had standardized testing for 3 days, which means I got to get up late and take some really easy tests, then only have 3 periods of the day after. Pretty chill. I got lot's of nail painting done in the afternoon, because I had no homework to do! Today's mani is a cute feather nail look. I've never really done feather nail art, but I really like it!
