Good afternoon! It's been hard for me to get back in the blogging groove after the long holiday weekend and Hailey being on summer break! Also, we've been working on some really exciting new things for AIA lately that take up a bit of my normal "blogging" time. I'm hoping to find a balance again soon. In the meantime, I have my current nail art mani to show you. It combines the look of a "half moon mani" and chevrons!

Good morning! It's the first day of summer break over at my house so I'm showing you what I currently have on my nails. I was looking for some nail art inspiration so I did a general search for the term "nail art" on pinterest and guess what? CHEVRONS were dominating the page. It must be the current trend so I figured I would give it a go.

The Digit-al Dozen DOES Decades, Day 5: Scooby-Doo Nail Art!

Affiliate Links

Hello and good morning! Is it really Friday already? This week flew by! I hope you've been enjoying Decades Week with The Digit-al Dozen as much as I have. These weeks challenge me and I love that I find things to do for nail art that I wouldn't have already tried without the prompts!

This manicure is inspired by the 70s tv cartoon Scooby-Doo. (Okay, okay, if you want to get technical, the first show was in 1969 but I already did a 60s mani this week.) Shaggy is Scooby-Doo's best bud so of course I had to paint him as well. The other two nails are inspired by the design on their cool van: The Mystery Machine.

The Digit-al Dozen DOES Decades, Day 4: Lisa Frank Nail Art!

Hello, everyone! I have a bright and funky manicure for you today! It's day 4 of "decades" week with The Digit-al Dozen so here is a 90s Lisa Frank inspired look! The entire collection of new OPI Neons arrived yesterday so they were perfect to use in this mani! The neons are gorgeous and I can't wait to swatch them all for you soon. I think this was even brighter in person than my photos are suggesting as well.

The Digit-al Dozen DOES Decades, Day 3: Nintendo Nail Art!

Mr. Adventures In Acetone and I are 80's babies, so I asked his opinion to think of something to do for 80's nail art. He immediately thought of Nintendo video games! Who hasn't played some kind of Nintendo Super Mario Brothers video game in their lifetime? I'm pretty sure we even have a Mario game for our Nintendo Wii in Hailey's room. So, here is my nail art attempt at one of the controllers for the original Nintendo and a scene from Super Mario Brothers.

Hello and good morning! It's Digit-al Dozen week again, and this month we are doing "Decades." Today's post is a stretching the theme a bit, but I have a more important announcement: it's my daughter, Hailey's, 6th Birthday today! So, I decided to twin up with my good friend Casandra over at The Mani-logues and do a mani inspired by Hailey! She is a huge fan of Lalaloopsy dolls (as are Casandra and her daughter Violet) and has been collecting them since they came out in 2010. (See, this theme totally fits in with our current decade!) We both picked some favorite Lalaloopsy dolls to recreate on our nails for Hailey! 

Swatch Saturday: Zoya Bubbly Collection!

Bubbly is "six dazzling hues loaded with shimmering holographic glitter particles. This is color made to dance in the light and deliver great color well into the night!" 

Simple Friday Skittlette!

 TGIF! Woohoo! It's time for the weekend and I can't wait! I'm still rocking my waterfall mani from yesterday's post so today is a mani I wore earlier this week. I hadn't done a skittlette in a while so I grabbed three of my favorite polishes: Elevation Polish Muztagh Ata, Elevation Polish Pata Puffer 2, and OPI My Current Crush! The glitter in Pata Puffer 2 complimented My Current Crush nicely and I was happy with this new-to-me color combo!

Waterfall Nail Art With Zoya Tickled and Bubbly!

Good afternoon, everyone! I hope you are all having a fabulous Thursday! I love Thursdays--my sister comes over every week and we watch The Vampire Diaries together. Tonight is the first half of a 2-part finale so I can't wait! (Any other TVD fans out there counting down the hours, too?!)

I was working my way through swatching the new Zoya Tickled and Bubbly Collections this morning and they are great! When I got to Wendy, I loved it so much that I stopped with 3 polishes left to go and decided to wear it as a full mani instead. That turned into this waterfall mani, inspired by a tutorial from The Nailasaurus, using a few polishes from each collection that seemed to coordinate well with Wendy!

Good morning! I have a cutesy manicure to show you today! It has been a while since I've done any "cute" nails so I took the suggestion of my friend Jen, from My Nail Polish Obsession, and modified my Zebra Tutorial to be a unicorn! (It was supposed to be for tutorial tuesday yesterday, but my tutorial attempts didn't work out very well. I may visit it again in the future if anyone really does want to see this as a tutorial?)

Textured Watermarble Nail Art!

Press Sample

Hello, everyone! I've been toying with the idea of a textured watermarble mani for a month or two but wasn't happy with my results so far. Today, I saw that my friend Ashley from Smashley Sparkles posted a really awesome watermarble using one of the Zoya Magical Pixie Dusts (ultra texture!) as the base and I had to try it! My previous attempts weren't textured enough after the thin layer of polish caused by the watermarble, so using the most textured polish I had as a base seemed like the perfect solution! 

Zoya Tickled and Bubbly Tape Mani!

Press Sample

Good morning, readers! Yesterday, both of the new Zoya Ticked and Bubbly Collections arrived at my doorstep and they are super fun! I knew I wouldn't have time to get them all swatched for you for today, but I had to try them out! I noticed that almost every polish in the Tickled Collection had a "coordinating" Bubbly shade so I grabbed Rooney and Binx for this mani. The Bubbly colors can be worn alone or layered over another color, so that's what I'm showing you today!
