July 2014 Nail Art Recap

Hi lovelies! While I wasn't blogging much, I continued to do my nails but just got too busy to blog about them. So here's a recap of the nails I've done in July after my last blog post. I don't remember which polishes I used on these nails, so the pictures are all I've got.

Fourth of July!

Hi there my loves! Today I'm sharing with you the nails I did for 4th of July. I initially planned to do a non-traditional design. I wanted a white base with blue and red florals but when I started painting, it didn't look anything like what I had in mind and I didn't know what else to do but the typical American flag nails. I think it still looked pretty ok though. I really should've used striping tape to get the stripes perfectly, but it was already late and I was too lazy and tired to deal with the tape. So here it is! Enjoy!

Jumping on the bandwagon

I've been seeing lots and lots of pictures of China Glaze Too Yacht to Handle and Highlight of my Summer on Instagram and I've always wanted them. Today, I was finally able to get them and I'm so glad that I did. I've read that the application for both weren't so great but for the brightness of these polishes, I wouldn't mind 3-4 coats of these.

Now I don't remember exactly how many coats I used, but I don't think that I went over 3-4 coats. So it's not so bad, in my opinion. Especially for how amazing they look. I just love these so much!

Anyways, this is such a random manicure that was inspired by numerous things. Also, I decided to change my nail shape. I figured I needed to try something new and thought oval nails would be awesome! Especially when my nails grow, and I thought it would be easier to maintain long nails when they're this shape. Let's see how long I can last with oval nails. (I'm a square / squoval kind of girl).

On my index finger is OPI Tiffany Case, topped with approximately 4 coats of OPI I Can Teal You Like Me.

Neon Lines

I've been seeing neon colors on different polish brands' summer collections, and I decided I needed to do a summer mani. Especially because I recently got myself a bottle of Flip Flop Fantasy. I've been wanting this polish for the longest time, and I'm so happy to finally have it! I have read somewhere though that the color they have now is different from the original bottle. I wish I was able to get a hold of the old bottle too, but s'all good. Anyways, for this mani I used all new colors that I got on my trip to BZ.

I'm still trying to master the art of the striping tape mani, and I'm definitely loving the X design on my accent nail. I'm just so in love with how it looks. So be ware of my future posts with this design. It was very difficult to capture the true color of FFF but I tried my best, hence the numerous amount of pictures I have. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do!

Weekend Getaway!

I haven't had a weekend getaway in who knows how long, so naturally I was extremely excited to finally go on vacation! This week, my most awaited striping tape finally came in and I was beyond excited! Because of the never-ending inspiration I get from Instagram, I didn't know what design to start with. I was sure I didn't want to just use the tape like a striper, so I had to do something I've never done before. I mean, I know this design isn't all that new and it's not something you've never seen before. But I am in love with how it came out and I love the color combination that I chose. I can't be any happier! It's just a little sad that the corners chipped after a whole day of swimming. But it's ok. I still loved it. And I did get a few compliments on them, so that's always a good thing.
