For these simple nails I painted my nails white & then used a nail tattoo sheet. Once the nail tattoos were dry & in place, I use top coat to seal them. More nail tattoo instructions can be found here.

Nails of the Week
For these fun plaid nails, I first painted all my nails this navy blue. Then, since I didn’t have a thin brush for the navy, I used thin nail tape to block off the navy stripes in the plaid. I probably should have used two pieces side by side since I couldn’t make my other lines as thin with the brush.
Once the nail tape is down, use a bright red to paint over those nails. Mine was dulled down by the navy base coat, so that’s why a bright red might be best.
After the red is dry, very carefully paint on white stripes & then black.
Once the black & white are relatively dry, take off the nail tape slowly.
Lastly, use top coat (or nail glue if you prefer) to apply oval studs.
Outfit of the Day
Wearing a Francesca’s blouse with a tank I bought at a local boutique on Black Friday, boots from the same boutique, & some old Banana Republic over-the-knee socks rolled down a few times.
Nails of the Week
As promised, here are my nails I painted on Valentine’s Day. I used a cute baby pink as my base. Mine is pretty sheer, so it took four coats to get an opaque pink. Then I used my Butter London gold glitter polish Stratford Honey at the ends of my pinky & pointer fingers, working my way up a little with the next two coats to create a gradient. Lastly, I used top coat to attach two caviar beads at the base of my middle two fingers & thumb.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I’m starting to feel a little better today so I’m finally painting my nails for Valentine’s Day. Like my past few Valentine’s Day’s I plan to have a little spa day. Just stay inside where it’s warm, do a facial, paint my nails, & treat myself to a cute little bottle of pink moscato (& dark chocolate of course).
Forever 21 Accessory Haul
Forever 21 had a Valentine’s day sale where you could by $21 of their select Valentine’s day items & get free shipping, a sale I just couldn’t pass up! The filigree necklace & the drop earrings are sold out, but the ear jacket earrings can be found here, & the two note cards can be found here & here. The note cards are blank & there’s five of each (& they’re even cuter in person). I think these cards will be great to use for thank yous after I throw my college graduation party in May. I would just need a “Thank you” stamp for the front!
