Matsuri Nails 06/07/2011
We had a festival to go to so I did some nail designs to match the yukatas of my friends and I! I did a colored french and added a stripe to spice things up and little flower/dot accents on the thumbs. Added a bit to a plain pedi as well.
The design I painted on fake nails for one friend; orange french tips with a black spray.
Another friend; blue angled french tips, with white and red stripe accents and some extra sparkle spray on the thumbs.
Elegant Black French w/Jewel & Silver Accents 05/13/2011
This is an excellent look for those who find it hard to free-hand the straight line required for a traditional French manicure. I personally find it much easier to paint an angled line, it makes it much less noticeable if your line isn’t perfectly straight, or if the angles aren’t all quite the same. I started with the black tips and once I got them close to the right shape I took a thin brush with silver sparkles to neaten up the edge of the black. While the silver polish was wet I pressed a jewel at the point of the V, then slicked on a clear coat to seal it all in!
Metallic Silver w/Black Stripes 04/22/2011
I started out with stripes on just one nail and then kept adding them, I think in the end I put stripes on all my nails, just in varying amounts. Sally Hansen Salon in Sterling. Kiss Nail Art Paint in Black.

I’m not one for writing blogs; I’m never sure if I should be writing to myself or to an audience. This blog will therefore mostly be a collection of photographs documenting my nail art.
