Color Blocked Negative Space Nails!

Hey! How was your weekend? Yesterday I met up with a few Boston Bloggers for some drinks! I knew two of them already, but it was awesome to finally meet some of these ladies I only see on the inter-webs. So fun, can't wait to do it again.

Of course I needed a fresh mani for our meet up, so I did this quick color blocked/negative space mani. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, so I went for it. I was a bit rushed though, it's not quite as crisp as I would have liked, but I still love the way it turned out.

Kitty Nails!

Crazy Cat Ladies, Unite! Ok, I don't really think I'm that crazy, but my family are recent cat owners. I posted about our little guy here a while ago. His name in Linus, and I think my mom is really the crazy one. But I had been thinking about doing cat nails and recently a friend of my brother's (who has an adorable kitty) asked me of I'd ever do them. So, I did. Her kitty is on my ring finger, my kitty is on my middle finger, and I have two cousins with cats, so I did theirs on my pinkie and index fingers. My kitty's tail is on my thumb.

I'm loving these more than I thought I would! Are you cat obsessed?
MEOW!

Matching Watercolor Nails!

Have you guys heard of MOO? They make really nice business cards that you can completely design yourself (if you want to) with gold foil! Obsessed. I needed to update my business cards and since I have some gold in my logo up there, I wanted gold foil on my cards. I love the way they turned out, so I painted my nails to match my watercolor banner/my new business cards!

Rainbow Nails!

I know I live in New England, but it's May now, can we get some warm weather please?? It looks like it's going to be gloomy all week into the weekend. (UGH)

To cheer myself up, I did some rainbow striped nails. These we so fun and happy! They also reminded me a bit of Fruit Stripe Gum. To make these, I just used a striping brush and went at it free hand. Started with red near the top of my nail, worked my way down, and then went up from red.
