Roses for my nubbins

Nothing to Disclose

Whew! We made it through Monday! I had a pretty major break on my ring finger (yet again!) tonight and thought that I wasn't going to want to do any nail art tonight out of pure mourning of my nail breakage. However, once I trimmed down the rest of my nails, it felt so cleansing and cathartic to have fresh and short nails that I was inspired to try something out.

I always forget how much I love my nubs. I think most people can relate to having short nails so it's always nice to do some art on short nails. I know it's not everyone's taste, but I love short nails! Nubbin' club for life! ;)

The cure for Sunday evening blues

Nothing to Disclose 

Hello, all! I've got a bit of the Sunday evening blues so I decided to combat that and paint something simple, bright and fun to get me through tomorrow. This will be a quick post since I plan on spending the rest of the evening catching up with a good book :) 

So, without any fuss at all, here are my sunflower nails! 

Bright Wallpaper inspired Triangles

Nothing to Disclose

Happy Saturday! I had a crazy crazy work week...I was there from 7:30am to 11:30pm on Wednesday night and I've spent the last few days recovering a bit from all that. Despite still feeling tired, I've been craving nail art the past few days so I'm glad I actually sat down and went for it today. 

As you know, I love doing art inspired by patterns and prints I find online. Recently I came across this fantastic site, Sian Elin, that creates a slew of items from pillows to wallpaper to textiles and I'm finding myself obsessed with the bold patterns. With all the textiles I'm falling in love with lately, I'm going to need a giant house to accommodate them all ;) I've had this pattern saved on my phone for about a month and every time I scrolled by it I was just dying to give it a go in nail art form. 

Because sometimes you have to paint lacy mandalas...

Hello, all! It's almost hump day! I'm already so exhausted from this week, but I was really craving some nail art tonight so I got my act together so I could share something new with you all. 

As I often mention on here, I find inspiration from many online sources (patterns, designs, etc) and pinterest has become one of my favorite sources of inspiration. I've even got a pattern board now! Anyway, I was browsing tonight and came across this wonderful site from a very creative lady (Rachel Taylor) who creates fantastic papercrafts. I took inspiration from her design and used it to inspire tonight's mani. 

Damask Love

Nothing to Disclose

Hello all! Hope everyone in the States had a good President's 3 day weekend (if you were lucky enough to get one!). I had to work today and got home late but I've been wanting to share this mani since I did it at the beginning of the month and I just couldn't wait any longer! 

I love damask patterns so much and lately I've been seeing chairs, pillows, walls, what have you, covered in this bold and classy pattern and I've been wanting to do it on my nails for so long. I'm so very pleased with how these turned out and I'd love to hear how you feel about them as well!
