Experimenting with my Nails

I wanted to share with you guys some of the different styles of nails I’ve tried over the past few months!  I really love to paint my nails and my friends make fun of me sometimes because I will spend two hours trying out something new with my nails :)

Inspired by Aquí

Inspired by Mattieologie

Next on my list are this tutorial, this trend, and this tutorial.  Would you try any of these? Also, do share any nail tutorials you’ve tried that you love! =)

  5. How playful and fun you are with your nail art;-)
    I love the different nail colour styles. They are all very summery.
    Pink and orange make good companions, too. Hope you had a relaxing weekend.

    My favorite have to be the pink triangles. So mod. The lace design looks perfect. Are those the Sally Hansen strips?

    Hi Nnenna! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comment! You have a really cute blog! Those lace nails are really cute – are they the Sally Hansen strips? I’m loving the “Mermaid Nails” tutorial you linked as well. I just bookmarked it and it is on my list to try too! :-)

    Have you seen this tutorial? http://pinterest.com/pin/17595155/

  17. I LOVE Salon Effects! I use them whenever I don’t have the time or patience for my polish to dry!

    I’ve been wanting to try the half-moon mani myself. One day!

    Posted 8.2.11 Reply
    • Nnenna wrote:

      Agreed- they are such a quick way to spruce up your nails :) And the only thing that’s keeping me from the half-moon mani is that I don’t have those hole reinforcement stickers yet!

  18. All the styles areterrific. I wish I was that talented with my nails. I like the pink triangle effect. And I like the trio of colors: purple, pink, blue–I think I could achieve that look:)

  28. Wow, you are so creative, I love all your nails but the color block and the animal print are my faves, great job!

  29. I thing the geometric pattern is pretty cool, that looks like a lot of work but the outcome is neat.
