Sometimes all you need is some shatter with glitter. p.s. I couldn't get the glitter to look glittery in the photo :(

This is from a couple months ago. Pardon the background (I still need to find a good background!)

I based this off of Cosmetic Cupcake’s Tiffany nails, which you can see if you follow this link: http://www.cosmeticcupcake.com/2011/11/tiffany-co-manicure-take-2.html

This is a design I recreated back in February from a post I found on Pinterest.  Sorry about the quality of the photo!

Unfortunately I couldn't find the original artist, but the design was pinned from this page near the bottom: http://www.fashiondivadesign.com/pretty-nails-with-gold-details/

Acid wash jean nails.  It took me quite a few times to get the technique right, but it paid off in the end!

Easter nails from 2012!

For this manicure, the very intricate designs were made using konad stamping plates.

Please pardon the distracting backgrounds in the next few posts! These nail designs are a few of the ones I have done over the past couple years

Here's a purple and green manicure from 2012.

I'm starting a nail art blog!

Hi! My name is Emily, and I am a huge fan of nail art so I thought I’d start my own blog.  I will posting my own nail art, and being sure to credit the original artist if I recreate their nail art.
