Spring showers (of glitter!)

So these are about as Spring as my nails have gotten recently!! I got a new glitter at Sephora back in December and I'm JUST getting around to using it. That's OK though because it's absolutely perfect for Spring. I couldn't decide which color would be best to wear it on and I started with the idea of using it only on the cream colored nail and then using a white glitter on the other nails but I just didn't love the effect over cream. I actually think I prefer it over the blue nails! The base colors here are my FAVORITE pastels, the Lime Crime line. They have such a great formula and while they are pastel, they're also nice and bright. What's are your favorite colors for Spring?

A Vintage Twist

These nails were actually what I wore for my birthday. It's been a really long time since I did anything super fancy on my nails and I have LOADS of fun beads and tapes and other such novelties so I decided to break them out for my birthday. I used my favorite color combination for this one and one of my favorite patterns!! I started with a plan to use tape to make the chevrons but I gave up on that pretty early on. It just seemed like too much work, so I free handed it instead. The original design had just the green minty nails and the gold, pearls, and roses were sort of an after thought but I love the way it turned out! It's so vintage and Marie Antoinette. LOVE. The green base on these nails is Zoya Neely. Such a lovely soft green. It's a hair less blue than butter LONDON Fiver so I feel great about getting both. Plus, let's face it I'm addicted to mint green!!
