Southwest Print Pictorial

I was asked by a few people on the website Reddit to show how I created one of my last manicures but I didn't have much time to show the steps in nail polish...so I hand drew something really quick to share with them. And I figured I might as well share with you all here! It's a very crude and somewhat messy pictorial, but I wanted to share it here with you all in case you were wondering and wanted to try it yourself. Let me know what you think! :)

Happy Polishing! :)

Wondrously Polished and Lulu*s Necklace Inspired Tutorial!

Hi everyone! I am so sorry for being MIA! I have been really busy this week. I'm up visiting the parental units and I'm having to be social instead of spending hours doing my nails ;) I forgot to share the latest tutorial I put together for Lulu*s! Relaxing makes me scattered brained!! 

My inspiration for this mani was a really funky and cool necklace from Lulu*s. Honestly, I struggled with this one! It may not seem it, but this is a fairly simple design and I stressed like crazy about whether or not it worked with the necklace. Anywho! I'm hoping to have some more stuff for you all soon! I've been slacking D:

Bright Southwest Inspired Print

Happy Friday, Everyone! If you're in the States, what are you all doing for Memorial Day?? Hopefully relaxing and having way too much fun :) I'm up visting my parents for the weekend and get to see my sister as well! Should be a good time :)

While I'm here, I'll be volunteering at an art festival that my Mom helps put together and I really wanted something fun and bright and just out there. I've really loved tribal/aztec/southwestern inspired patterns lately and I decided to go for something similar again since I so loved the last one I did. 

I used 4 different bright colors for this look with a base of My Vampire is Buff because it's just perfect for nail art. I did repeat the same pattern on each nail, but I mixed up the way the colors were laid out and I think that adds some extra interest to these...not that this sort of print doesn't already have a lot going on ;) 

Orange you glad I didn't paint strawberries?

Alright, so today's theme in the May Nail Art Challenge is supposed to be Strawberries...and I'm really not feeling that...so I'm skipping it! It's my blog, I do what I want! ;)

 When I'm not sure what to do nail art wise, I sort of just dig through my helmer drawers and look for colors that speak to my mood at the time. 

The one that stuck out was Zoya's Arizona and I just so love it! I ended up pairing it with Lime Crime's Milky Ways which has some orange/peach undertones and I think the two really compliment each other well. I got Arizona during the Zoya's Earth Day sale and I bought it on a whim as I was looking for a good orange and I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do. Don't you love when that happens??

Here's a little sneak peak at the mani! 

Happy Polishing! :)
