Refined Turquoise

  The other day as I was admiring my latest nail polish color and ogling over my color collecting addiction, I told my boyfriend I had enough nail polishes to paint my nails a different color every week for an entire year. To which he responded, "You should do that! And make a blog about it!"

WEEK 19: Refined Turquoise

In this week's post I will be doing a piece on nail marbling. Now, before you get a bad case of deja vu, yes, I have used this technique before in my post entitled Marbled Earth. I felt, however, that it was about time I revisited this style for two main reasons. One, Marbled Earth was one of my very first posts, back before I began doing tutorials, and I have had multiple people asking about how I did this design. The second reason is because it is an awesome technique with infinite possibilities and variations. So I thought this a great opportunity to hone my marbling skills.

WEEK 18: Cathedral Vogue

I'll be honest, I'm a terrible procrastinator, I always have been, but some day I hope to change that... if I can ever get around to it. So when I found myself starting on my nails almost a week in advance it was a huge deal. I decided I wanted to try something a little more intricate and elaborate to take full advantage of my lack of a time crunch. I skimmed through my list of design ideas and found one I've been meaning to try out for quite a while now. Next I scoured through my ever increasing collection to find the perfect pallet of colors that would accurately reflect the ornate beauty of stained glass.

WEEK 17: The Detour

While sorting through my polishes last week I came across an old one I haven't used in forever, a crackle nail polish. You might remember this craze from a few years back, but for those of you who missed it, and aren't willing to use like 2 seconds to Google it, allow me to explain. Crackle nail polish is a colored polish used over another color that cracks as it dries, revealing little shards of the base underneath. It results in an almost shattered look. So this week I had planned to do a design with this polish, but spoilers... I didn't.
