Sleeping Teddy Bear Nail Art

I thought it would be really interesting to recreate my first ever nail art manicure. In this first photo you can see my same hand with a five year difference! In eight grade I attempted to paint (with nail polish ekk) a sleeping teddy bear and did alright for a rookie. On the right you have a more defined sleeping teddy bear with highlights and even eyebrows! It's crazy to see how much I have improved in the last five years. the rest of my nails I just kept really simple with a blue background and light blue polka dots. Hope y'all enjoy this trip down memory lane.

Tie-Dye Coachella Nails!

One of my class mates is going to Coachella this weekend and wanted a manicure that would scream music festival, hence tie-dye nails! I started with a white base color and then used five different acrylic paints to create the swirl tie-dye effect. After the swirls were drawn on, I added a little hint of glitter using an Essie flakie nail polish and one of her glitter nail polishes. All in all she is sure ready for Coachella! 

Snapchat Nail Art!

This week i decided to do Snapchat inspired nail art! I drew on the cute ghost logo on my left hand's thumb and the remaining nine nails I painted on emojis that snapchat uses to describes you snap friends. For example, the yellow heart means that you are mutual best friends with someone and the sunglasses smiley face means you share a best friend with someone else. Emojis are always simple and cute and them came across really cleanly with the white background! 

Birthday Cupcake Nail Art

With my birthday coming up I wanted to do a manicure around it, but not in a "in your face" kind of way. The cupcake idea seemed to solve all of my problems. I painted on alternating vanilla and chocolate cupcakes and then added the corresponding amount of candles (19) to my nails. I'm really happy with the end result, and it didn't take as long as my more complicated manicures usually do. 

Can you spot my matching cupcake socks?

Neon Fruit Drip Nails

The inspiration for my manicure was my newly and brightly dyed hair. It took awhile to come up with something that would accurately match my new neon locks but I finally came up with the idea of having five fruits on one hand (matching the colors to my hair) and then turning my other nails into the drip nail design that I so dearly love. 

I ended up color matching fruit, so I drew a lemon, a peach, a watermelon, an orange, and a strawberry. The background color is just a sheer pink shimmer nail polish by Sinful Colors. I also added in some white stars to make the manicure a little bit more cutesy.
