It doesn’t get that cold in my part of the US, but it does get chilly and often quite rainy – the combination leaves me longing for Spring. Of course I have to translate that desire into nail art 🙂
Dreaming of Spring – Whimsical Floral Nail Art

It doesn’t get that cold in my part of the US, but it does get chilly and often quite rainy – the combination leaves me longing for Spring. Of course I have to translate that desire into nail art 🙂
I generally prefer more traditional colors when it comes to doing winter and Christmas nails, but I decided to step outside of my comfort zone for this manicure and I am really glad I did. This mani has a lot going on, so sit tight!
I’m not ready to let go of Fall yet. It is my favorite time of the year and fall colors generally fall into my spectrum of favorites. It should come as no surprise that when I was getting ready to do my nails, I automatically reached for a dark brown color.
Are you ready for Halloween? I am! It is my favorite holiday of the year and I love doing themed manis and I am going to try to have a new nail art design up every other day!
I really love doing floral nails, I just don’t do them often enough! For these nails I wanted to revisit a style I did months ago that included stamping as part of the design.
It’s kind of awesome to go into a mani with a basic design in mind and have it warp into something cooler and more detailed than you intended! That is the case with this mani. I started out just intending to do some random dry brushing, but it ended up looking like flowers on my first nail so I altered my plan and went with that.
Here is another installment of my #mommysmanimonday manicure! The theme this week was to re-create the mani of another group member and I chose to do a mani by @cmlovesnails. I chose this mani partly because it looks absolutely fabulous on short nails – you’ll notice mine are considerably short in this mani than they were in my previous one – but I also loved the colors and the freehand aspect!
My theme this week for my Mommy’s mani group was Floral – aside from dots, one of my very favorite things to do. I took the opportunity to get some freehand practice in. I was originally planning a springy theme, but when everything came together and I had picked my colors, it was decidedly summery looking.
It’s pretty obvious I have been into water marble lately, isn’t it? This is largely because I am pretty dead-set on improving my skills: I loooove a good water marble! After doing this mani, I feel like I have pretty much mastered the horizontal stripe method!
I love dots, in case it wasn’t blatantly obvious. I use them on my nails all the time and a good old dotticure is one of my go-to manis. So, the first of my Easter-inspired nails is dots, dots and more dots.
