Girly Mani/ Ideas

Hey everyone! For today I have a girly mani. I had so many ideas for this one so you can either look at it as one complete mani or you can look at it like an idea for a girly mani on each finger. Enjoy!

*I also changed my twitter username to : EsmeNailAddict (Thank you Lydia for letting me know I could change it!)

Gradient Challenge: Day 4: Pink

Hello lovely ladies! Today is the 4th day of the challenge Kelly (Nailpocalypse) and I are doing! Since it is a Wednesday, we decided why not make it a pink gradient?!

So, I chose a stamp that looks a bit like water marble design. Mainly to prepare myself for tomorrows challenge!   Enjoy!

Rainbow Gradient

Hey everyone! For today, I chose to do an animal print with a rainbow gradient! I'm not sure whether I like it, i feel like the pink/orange gradient doesn't go well with the other colors.

Hello beautiful ladies! For this week, Lydia (Sekhmet's Purple Castle) and I are going to be doing a crackle challenge.

Spring Challenge - Day 12: Earth Day

Hello everyone! Today is the last day of the Spring Challenge Jenni and I are doing. The theme is Earth Day (April 22nd). My mani is inspired by the following: oil spills in the ocean, global warming, going green, and pollution/smoke. Enjoy!

*Don't forget to see Jenni's Earth Day Mani

Spring Challenge - Day 7: Butterflies

Hey everyone!!! I am SUPER excited for today's theme for me and Jenni's Spring Challenge. The theme for today is butterflies! I chose to do monarch butterfly wings! I didn't want to do the traditional orange, and opted for spring gradients! I think out of all the manis I've done, this is by far my favorite! I tend to work better when I'm angry (haha I got into an argument with my mom a couple minutes before I did these). Anyone else work better under stress??

*My inspirations/ guide for this mani is mainly from this picture: Pink Butterfly Nails
*Don't forget to see what Jenni came up with for Day 7

Hunger Games Inspired Mani: FAIL

Hey everyone! So as many of you know, The Hunger Games movie premieres tonight at midnight! Sadly I am not attending, but hopefully I can see it later this weekend! Anyway, I tried to do a mani inspired by Katniss Everdeen but it didn't turn out the way I wanted to! But still wanted to share it with you guys, maybe one of you can do it better! Enjoy!
