Glam and Glitz

Hey, everyone!

I did these waaaay long ago but HEY I'm finally sharing these! It's been a little tricky for me to juggle my interests lately, but trust me, I still love doing nails even if I don't share them as often. I'll try to be a bit better about that, but honestly I can't make any guarantees. For now, keep reading to check out this sparkly design!

Glowy Geometric

Hey, everyone!

This mani is the result of me flying by the seat of my pants, having no nail design in mind when I sat down at my desk to paint my nails. Turned out pretty well, so maybe I should do that more often? Keep reading to find out more!

Fiesta!

Hey, everyone!

Do any of you have a nail polish that you really only use once a year for like a holiday or something like that? I do! It's KBShimmer Kringle All the Way! I love this glitter polish so much but I only really use it at Christmas time because, well, it's a Christmas glitter! But recently I got it into my head that it also reminds me of a fiesta, and so this mani was born. Keep reading to see how I got this look!

Butterflies Glitterfied

Hey, everyone!

I think this design is fitting to post today (although I wore it about a week ago) because we finally have some intermittent sunshine today!
