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 :)

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! =)
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

Thank you Rosie! :D
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.
Thank you so much! I hope you had a great weekend too :)
I love the first nails — what a great color!

Aww, thanks so much Courtney! :D
My favorite have to be the pink triangles. So mod. The lace design looks perfect. Are those the Sally Hansen strips?
Thank you Christina and yes they are! :)
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/
Thank you very much Juli! Yes, they are the Sally Hansen strips- I love how easy they are to apply and all the various patterns/colors they have! Yay, glad I shared something you liked! And thanks for the pinterest link- I just joined yesterday so I’m still learning how to pin things to my boards! =)
Nail experimenting is fun! I love it!

Thank you! You are so right- I always feel better when my nails are well manicured! :)
loving that lace! i want to try that…
Thank you! They’re so so easy to use, you definitely should! :)
You are so creative with your nails! I love the last one with the mint green and glitter, so fun!
Aww, thank you so much Jeanne! It’s something I really enjoy doing! :)
wow so much fun i love the black and white one!!! I’m a huge fan of nail painting especially since i stopped biting my nails…
Thanks so Monique! My friend is exactly the same way- as soon as she stopped biting her nails, she started painting them all the time and she loves it! :)
So many great designs here. I am also known as a person who takes a lot of time doing their nails among my friends too.
Thank you so Imogen! Yay, I’m not the only one out there! :D
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!
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!
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:)

Thank you so much Madeleine! And you could totally do that look! :)
Gorgeous nails! Nail art has always fascinated me. I love the lace print! Thanks for sharing. xoxo, Veena <3

The green polish looks so summery and lovely :)
Thank you Gertrude! It’s one of my favorite color polishes that I have :)
These are all so cool! Love the pink and red ones!
Thank you so much Vanessa! :D
I love these! Creative and chic without being overly complicated or fussy! Love! I especially like the aqua color (so perfect for summer) and the pink triangles! Will definitely have to try some of these myself :)
Thank you so much Amanda! Yes, none of these are too hard to do, but they look so great! I would love to see if you try some of these :)
What gorgeous designs you’ve done here! So excited to see my triangle mani on here! Love the bright color you chose!
Thank you and thank you so much for sharing your tutorial! :D
I LOVE the two tone pink. Love it. That is a fab look – I am hastily watching the tutorial to do it myself!
Yay, thanks Kristen! I would love to see how yours turns out! =)
How much fun! You make my manicures look positively boring. Clearly time for me to shake things up.
Ooh I like that V shape design… may have to give that a try!
Wow, you are so creative, I love all your nails but the color block and the animal print are my faves, great job!
I thing the geometric pattern is pretty cool, that looks like a lot of work but the outcome is neat.

Wow! All your nail art is so lovely. I think my favorites are the lace-y one, and the one gold nail. I definitely want to try out the triangle one myself!
Those are some pretty neat designs you have going on. I really love the one with the triangles…HOTT!!!
