Neon Geometric Designs

I only had two hours hours to create this manicure so i stayed relatively simple. I started with a white base color and then layered on my neon yellow so that the yellow would show up bolder. These photographs don't do the nails justice, my camera freaked out with such an intense neon, but i tried. I then painted some dark green lines and light green dots and finishing with some glitter.

Greek Letters

Still missing Greece, i did another manicure drawing inspiration from the Greek culture. I drew ten different characters from the Greek alphabet. I started with a white background and then created a pastel water droplet background, following were the black letters and then rhinestones to spice things up. 









Can you name all ten characters?

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.

Glitter Color Gradient

I was out of the country for the past week so this is the simple manicure i had while i was in Greece. Glitter manicures for me last forever so i knew that these would not chip while on vacation. I just had a different color glitter on each nail and followed a rainbow-like gradient across all ten nails.

Cartoon Food Nail Art

I absolutely love food themed nails! I ended up painting ten different food items on my nails and then decided to add on cartoon eyes to every item to make the cartoon food just a tad bit cuter. So people have been saying that they look scared, but I was going for the "cute" look.

I featured a soda, an ice cream cone, a corn dog, a cheeseburger, a chocolate chip cookie, a chocolate sprinkle donut, a coffee, a hot dog, french fries, and a slice of pepperoni pizza. 









Rainbow Swirls

I didn't have a lot of time for this manicure so i kept it super simple. I painted my nails in a rainbow pattern and then on each nail featured a different swirl. After painting on the swirl i added on either a blue flakie or an orange one depending on the base color. I sealed up this manicure with two coats of top coat.
