My spring nails

Gaga for Green by China Glaze is my new favorite nail polish color. It is such a beautiful shade of green, very bright, and yet not lime. It’s a part of a collection called electropop, I think, which encapsulates my original attraction to nail polish nicely. Also, I’m getting neater at putting it on, woo.

Painting nails is actually pretty fun to do (excuse my messy hair and poor kitchen lighting.)

I’ve been getting into painting my nails lately. This is a really pretty red I wore for Christmas called Red Carpet (by Orly.) It goes on great and is opaque with a single layer, and has mini bits of glitter in it. I put a pink OPI sparkle glitter on the tips to make it extra festive.

This is my favourite nail design I’ve done so far. The outer half of the nails are painted with (a single layer of) OPI Austin-tatious Turquoise and the inside half are painted Designer, De Better from OPI’s muppet collection. I think it creates a neat metallic effect where the blue almost looks like a shadow because of the curve of the nail. I then did a french tip sort of look overtop with Warm & Fozzie which is probably my favourite of the mini muppets set I got for Christmas (although I haven’t tried all of them yet so I might change my mind.) The overall look is very sparkly. Tumblr taught me how to hold the nail polish bottles.

PRETTY 🙂
