Easy St. Patrick's Day Nails

Have you wanted to try nail art and been intimidated by it? Give this tutorial a try! This nail design was one of the first I ever tried when I first tried my hand at nail art about a year ago. It's so simple to create and all you need is polish, a good fast dry top coat and some masking tape. You can use this design with any color combinations, not just this color combination I used for St. Patty's Day. 

Here are a list of supplies (with links):

CND Stickey Base Coat

Essie First Timer

Essie Blanc

HK Girl Top Coat

Masking tape

My #11 favorite fall polish for 2015...

Zoya Payton!

Zoya describes Payton as a full-coverage, galactic cranberry with holographic glitter. Couldn't have said it better myself ;). If you aren't a fan of glitter and are ready to pass this up...don't. I am not a huge glitter fan, but there is something magical about these holo Zoya polishes. The moment you put them on your finger tips you will fall in love. Seriously though, you need to give these a try!

The swatch above is one thick coat. You really have to get a good thick coat though if you want to have it be opaque, or you can just do two thinner coats. Such a beautiful color for fall. What do you guys think? Do you love it!

I don't have any comparisons for this polish because, well...there isn't any polishes that compare. You just need this one. :)

You can buy Zoya polish on their website zoya.com for $9. Amazon and Ulta also have select colors available. 

I knew I wanted to do a fairly simple design with this polish just because it is such a stand out by itself. Doing a design with negative space seemed appropriate, and I decided a nice soft pink would work well with Payton's cranberry tone. The pink I used is Essie Romper Room. So pretty!!

Candy Corn Nail Design

Since Halloween is approaching I wanted to do a few Halloween inspired nail designs. I am starting out with this candy corn design. I wanted it to be a little different than your standard candy corn manicure, and I have been loving negative space lately, so I decided to put them together. I also wanted to keep it pretty simple so it would be a design that I might actually wear and not feel like a 5 year old :). So, I decided on only a few candy corns with a classy white polish for the remaining nails. I tend to be pretty conservative when it comes to polish, although I am starting to branch out a little. :)

Here are the materials you will need for this design:

A good base coat, a yellow, orange and white polish, a fast drying top coat, nail stickers, acetone and good clean-up brush.

Here are the specific products I used with links :)-

The base coat I am loving right now is ORLY Bonder.

Yellow polish: OPI I Just Can't Cope-cabana.

Orange polish: OPI Where Did Suzi's Man-go?

White Polish: OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls

Straight Skinny Tape is from What's Up Nails. There are many different places you can get nail stickers, you don't have to specifically use What's Up Nails (although they are fantastic). You can find stripping stickers at Sally's, Walmart and sometimes Target. If they are thicker than I want I usually just cut them to the size I like. You could even cut and use strips of tape from home. Just always make sure your polish is completely dry.

Pure Acetone for Clean-up: Any brand

Smudge brush for Clean-up: Sonia Kashuk No. 105 smudge brush

Top Coat: imn Out The Door fast dry top coat.
