On Nnenna’s Nails #23: Evil Eye

Black- BCBG Max Azria Choreographer // White- Julep Eileen // Blue- Julep Claire

After keeping my nails bare for nearly a week due to the move, I was sick of looking at my polish-free fingers! To make up for keeping them bare for so long, I decided to tackle some Halloween-themed nail art. I loved this design I found on Refinery 29 and decided to give it a try at home. I found it was actually pretty easy to recreate. I don’t have any real dotting tools, so I had to make do with a pen, a bobby pin, and pencil lead for each of the three different sizes. I think my evil eyes came out pretty well and I’m thinking of doing one large eye on each nail for my next manicure!

Can we all collectively say it together? TGIF! After such an action-packed weekend last week, I’m so ready for some rest and relaxation this weekend.

Tell me: What are you weekend plans?

  7. These eyes are so cool! If I had the patience… but you know me. I can barely get a solid color on my nails!

      Gracias lady! These actually aren’t that hard- it’s the waiting in between coats that makes it take so long!
