Denim Nails

I saw this reverse gradient on the Globe & Nail blog.  I attempted it, but my striping tape was too thin. I liked how her stripes came out thicker. My sponging also is blotchy.   And it took a bit of patience and time.

Milano White as base,
Essie Mezmerized, China Glaze Secret Peri-winkle, and China Glaze Dandelion for sponging.

Shooting Stars

I saw this nail art on Pinterest from the ThatSoFresh blog and thought it was pretty cool.

But after a day, it was way too busy for me, so I toned it down it a bit.

And after another day, it was still too busy, so I toned it down even more, and was much happier.

Easter Nails

Easter egg colors of course. I picked all my pastel, springy, Easter-y colors for my eggy nails.  A spring flower stamp and pastel rhinestones in the center of each flower finished it off.

 After the first day, I decided flowers on every nail was necessary. I liked that much better. 

Polka Dots!

I LOVE the polka dot nails I am seeing so much of lately. So many cool ones. One of my favorites is I saw here. I really liked her color scheme and figured I would copy cat it. But I realized I had NONE of those colors, so I did a more spring seasoned color mix with a more translucent feel.

First hand I tried to do the rows in  straight lines.  The second hand was harder doing with my left hand so I tried randomly placing the dots. I don't know which I like better.

At first I thought I hated it for being too busy, then it really grew on me.
