Spring Chick Nail Art

March 17, 2016 by Alisha 15 Comments

A little Spring Chick nail art to celebrate that Easter is just around the corner!

I was inspired by the nice warm weather to paint something Springy. And of course I found this idea on Pinterest. I love the yellow, white polka dots and little baby chick. It’s the perfect mix for Easter and Spring!

The brand was NK nail enamel that I picked up at my local beauty supply store for about $1. I was so happy when I finally found a yellow polish that was opaque enough that I wouldn’t have to use a white polish as the base coat. And the best part was the price! I think beauty supply stores actually have some of the best colors around and it’s always fun to find a new brand that you might not find otherwise.

Do you wanna build a snowman?

Happy first day of December! I decided that since it’s officially “let’s get ready for Christmas” month I would try my hand at Winter and Holiday nail art. Now as you all know I am by NO means an artist or professional when it comes to my nail art. Unfortunately Instagram and Pinterest give me delusions of grandeur and I have these preconceived visions in my mind that my nail art will look exactly like the inspiration pictures. Every now and then I get a win. And when that happens I look just like this:

Now last week my poor little turkey nail art looked more like a “turdkey” to me than anything. I know most of you were being kind with your comments, but trust me that brown blob looked crazy. LOL Now on the other hand when my nail art is more of a “fail” that excitement and celebration tends to be more like this:

Blue Rose & Silver Polka Dot Nail Art

Happy Monday! The best of Mondays for me are the girls are back in school (doing the happy dance) AND I get to share what’s new on my nails! This week I’m happy to announce that I will be one of the co-host for MANICure Monday!!! Woohoo! Please be sure to also check out my other co-hosts, Efie & Mimi, at their blogs!

This week’s mani was basically a “what ever the hell I end up with” kind of mani! I mean I can’t even recall how many times I redid my nails because each new idea came out looking worse than the previous one. So I decided to go back to what I know and can’t mess up…polka dots! When all else fails this is always my go to.

Polka Dots Nail Art

Hey hey hey! Well I was ~~lazy as all get out~~ busy last week and didn’t get a chance to post my mani. I must have experimented with at least 5 different polishes and designs. Needless to say they were all EPIC FAILS. Ugh, there is nothing worse than having a vision in your mind and it come out looking nothing like what you expected. Well I know I can never go wrong with polka dots so that is what you all get today! LOL

Join in the fun by linking up with Mimi from Lipgloss and Binky and Lynn from LALynnsShoppe for their Manicure Monday!

I used NYX Girls in “Perfect Gray” and Nina Ultra Pro in “Punki Pink”.
