Candy Cane

It's that time of year again! Being a college student, I don't have any decorations at my house right now so it doesn't feel like Christmas is coming anytime soon :( I figure when I go home my parents will have the house decorated, but I feel like the season is cut short for me since I won't get home until mid December. Despite that, I painted candy cane patterns on my nails. It's simple, yet festive enough to get me in the spirit!

I used Caliente Coral by Maybellene Express Finish and a white color by Kiss Nail Art.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Jade Flowers

Once again, I was low on time and was dying to paint so here are more Konad stamped nails:

It's hard to tell, but I double stamped the nail.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

I Want Candy!

Last year at this time I had a lot of free time as compared to now. This nail design is a great example of how much time I had. So last Halloween this was the nail design I came up with! Probably one of my most detailed designs. I want to do more at this level but that'll have to be when I don't have as much studying to do.

Clearly the second photo was my right hand (painted with my left) ha ha ha.

Hope you enjoyed your Halloween and got to eat tons of candy! :) nom nom nom

Peacock

I fail. This is a few days late, since Halloween was on Monday. Generally, I do generic Halloween themed nails for the holiday but this year I decided to make my nails go with my costume. Judging from the title of this post, you can probably guess what I was. I love the colors and pattern of peacock feathers and I almost did these nails at another time. I wish I had more time to add more to these.

It looks better in person :( I need to work on taking better photos...

Hope you had a great Halloween!

Quick French Nails

This probably the simplest design I've done in a long time. I had a formal event to go to last Saturday and very little time so I came up with this design (and heck yea it matched my dress). Plus I just got the sparkly grey recently and I HAD TO try it out.

It doesn't look as nice here cause the sparkles don't show up well in the photo.

The light sparkly base is "City Lights" by Cover Girl and the dark tips are "Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous" by OPI. The white stripe is a white nail striper by Kiss Nail Art.

I Am Obsessed...

...with Konad stamps! Plus I am a college student which unfortunately means that I don't have much time. I feel like I'm cheating with Konad stamps. It takes so little time compared to what I usually do that I am a little disappointed in myself. I decided that my next design will not be Konad involved!
But anyways, here is what I did today. I love the full nail pattern. The flowers and swirly things are so delicate and sweet. The design reminds me of lace.

The color is "Fifth Avenue" by China Glaze (probably my favorite brand right now!). It's a great Fall color. I can't believe it's already October! Can we rewind back to Summer? I'm so not ready for the cold.

I GOT KONAD STAMPS!

If you don't know what Konad stamps are, they are nail polish stamps. They're super quick and easy compared to what I usually do, but I always make things more intricate when I paint. So here is my first of many designs to come using Konad stamps!

The base is an off-white-pinky color with a sparkle fade going up the nail.
I'm still getting used to using the stamps. I had a hard time getting this design centered and straight! ha ha


Well, this just successfully distracted me from an hour or two of studying.
