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!

Spring Challenge - Day 9: Kites

Hey everyone! So this post should have gone up on Tuesday along with Jenni's post but my internet connection was down for two days. Sorry :( . Anyways, I tried doing kites on my nails like 10 times and they ended up looking like a hot  mess. Finally I gave up and took the easy way out: stamping.  Enjoy!

*These kites were my inspiration: box kites
*From far away my nails end up looking a bit like cotton candy

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

Spring Challenge - Day 5: Rainbow

Hey everyone! Today's the 5th day of the Spring Challenge Jenni from Gold Speck Nails and I are doing! For today I decided to do something out of my comfort zone.
