Baby Ghost Nail Art

I cut my nails down again due to the fact that my sculpture class is extremely hands on (welding this week!). Regardless, it's Halloween season!!! For my first spooky manicure of the season I painted these adorable lil ghosts on my nails. My ring finger was more so of an experiment, playing with orange and creepy eye shapes. Overall, I think these are hella cute! 

Merrill College Nails Pt. 2

One of the other Orientation Leaders wanted her nails done as well, so I did another manicure including the Merrill Bird. Very simple, since I did not want someone else to sit around for two and half hours. (lol) 

UCSC, Merrill College Nail Art

This year I am an orientation leader for Merrill College (My college affiliation within UCSC) and this week we have the new freshman moving in so I thought it was only necessary to do another UCSC themed manicure. I have done two other UCSC themed manicures in the past so I had to have this one be a little bit different than the others. For my ring and pinky fingers I simply put some sparkles on them and for the remainder of the nails I featured names or dates important to the university. The background is one of my Merrill T-Shirts as the bird featured on one of my thumbs is the Merrill mascot. 

School's Out For Summer (Almost) Nails

Since this is my last week of my freshman year in college I decided that the song by Alice Cooper "School's Out" would have some appropriate lyrics for my nails. And since its summer I though a nice bright red to yellow ombre would fit the mood as well. On my left hand I wrote out "School's out for summer <3" and on my right hand I wrote "And we got now innocence." I created the gradient effect my first painting on a yellow base color and then sponging on red and orange with a art sponge.  After I added the words with a nice purple acrylic paint I sealed everything off with two coats of clear top coat. 

Newsprint with Orange Flowers

Newsprint is always a fun manicure print to have, but i couldn't just have newsprint could i. So i added some yellow and orange flowers to my nails accompanied by some rhinestones to make a bigger impact. 

Greek Temple Silhouette Nails

Four of the major temples that i visited in Greece were so beautiful that i had to create a manicure that was representative of them. Drawing inspiration from the Parthenon, the Temple of Apollo, the ruins of the Oracle of Dephi, and the Temple of Poseidon i created a sunset background with black silhouettes to be each of the temples. I was very happy with how the gradient sunset background turned out and then added some glitter on to emphasize the outlines.
