Dreaming of the Beach!

It's getting so cold here!! Frost on car windows, clouds of breath floating in the air. Winter is definitely coming. So let's think of the beach! 

No, my nails did not just magically grow like 5 mm and change shape. Yes, I still have the claws. I'm finding them... difficult. I can't decide what looks good with the stiletto shape. So I'm gonna post some older manicures while these puppies grow out. 

I LOVED this mani. It's vaguely representative of a beach scene and I thought it turned out perfectly. 

Tutorial! 

Colors used were Zoya Shay for the base,  Zoya Robyn, Essie Bouncer it's me, and Zoya Blu. 

Alrighty yall! I hope you like this mani as much as I did! 

Thanks for reading! 

Rainbow Stripes (boyfriend approved!)

When I showed these nails to my boyfriend he said they were his favorite design so far. So that's cool :)

I don't know if you know this... But I love rainbows. Like, a lot. 

When I was in kindergarten I wanted to change my name to Rainbow, because I thought they were so awesome. So now you have fodder to embarrass me with. But I refuse to be embarrassed! Rainbows are RAD! 

Here are the polishes I used for the gradient: 

Zoya Ali and Robyn, and ORLY Glowstick and Purple Crush

TUTORIAL TIME! 

I'm now realizing that the sponge in this picture is a little misleading. I really did only use those four colors above, but I took the sponge picture after I had used it on a couple fingers so the colors started to blend together to create orange, green, and indigo. 

Anywho, I hope you're all having a loverly day! I went to the Orthodontist today for the first time in a billion years and I think they were honestly surprised to see me.
