Tear Drop Patterned Nails

I've been so into abstract / patterned nails lately. It's really renewed my love of free hand nail art and I'm so glad because I am SO proud of these nails! I got my inspiration for this abstract tear drop design from a pattern on Pinterest, are you ready to see what I came up with?!

I started this design off with a base of Color Club Nail Robi on my middle and ring fingers, Maybelline Color Show Iced Queen on my index, and OPI This Gown Needs A Crown on my pinky. I created the tear drop design using white and light purple acrylic paints and a small flat nail art brush. I sealed everything in with a layer of Seche Vite and that was it.



I really am just so in love with these nails! I realize that I say that with almost every design but I'm totally serious this time!!! I definitely want to try this pattern again in some different color combinations. When kind of colors would you guys like to see?! I'm thinking a pretty mint with black and white tear drops!

Thanks loves :)

Twinsie Tuesday: Pinterest Inspiration

Oh gosh I'm so late! Again -_-

I was really excited about this prompt, I absolutely love getting inspiration from Pinterest. I actually wish I went on it more! But that app is so damn addicting you'll literally be on it for hours, not good when you're trying to get your nails done and a post up before today is over ;) 

Anyways I found THIS super cute abstract triangle design and just knew it would be perfect for todays prompt. Ready to check out what I came up with?!

I started with a base of Lime Crime Milky Ways. When it dried I added a layer of NYC Matte Me Crazy to make drawing the triangles easier. Then I added the triangles using grey, dark blue, light blue, black, and red/orange acrylic paints. I sealed it all in with a layer of Seche Vite and finally added one more coat of NYC Matte Me Crazy for a flat finish. 




Okay so the triangles are messier then I wanted them to be but honestly with my time crunch I'm pretty damn proud of these! I love the color combination and I think the flat finish gives it such visual interest.

What do you guys think?

Keep an eye out on my Instagram and YouTube Channel for tutorials on this look a little later!
