nail trends i'm loving.

STOP. Enter this giveaway.

So here's the deal.

I'm obsessed with painting my nails. I haven't had naked nails in probably 6 years.

I'm not joking, either. 

So that means that I am also a fan of different nail trends and colors.

So, I decided to show you guys some of my current nail loves. 

First up we have the bright colors. So fun for summer and it looks wonderful on sunkissed skin.



Second is sparkles. Sparkles are year round awesomeness. I mean, I love them so much when people ask me what my favorite color is I answer with "Sparkle". I'm a loser, I know.



And thirdly, a nail art trend that I have yet to try out but I will soon is the chevron look. It's so cute! I am loving chevron lately. These are perfect.




What are some nail trends you are loving?

how-to ombre nails.






I've really been loving anything ombre lately.

I would totally ombre out my hair if I had the guts to. 

But something less drastic and permanent is ombre nails. 



So I combined two things that I loved. Sparkles and ombre.  

Here's how I did it. 





Oh! And sorry for the pictures. I forgot to take pictures right after painting my nails so those were taken about a week after. 

PLEASE like this picture for me. I will forever be your friend.

missoni nails.


Remember this post?

Well I had a lot of requests to do a tutorial for you guys, so here it is! 




What you need. 
1 base color (I used a tealy blue)
2 accent colors (I used purple and green)
1 black sharpie
Top coat
A toothpick


What you need to do.


1. Paint your nails with a base color. 
2. Take your sharpie and draw 2-3 zig zag lines on your nails. (If it gets on your skin, don't worry! It'll come off!)
3. Take one of your accent colors and put a dot on a magazine.
4. Take your toothpick, dip it into the nail polish "dot" to get nail polish on it. 
5. Follow the black zig-zag, so you have the same design, with the color on the toothpick. (2-3 times)
6. Do the same thing with the other accent color.
7. Apply top coat.
8. Take a picture and email it to Rach so she can see. :) 


There ya go! It seems a little difficult, but it is totally worth it! 

Have a wonderful week!
