Now that I’m into manicures, I polish my nails two or three times a week, mostly to avoid grading tests. Usually I just do a simple mani of a single color, but a couple of days ago I wanted to do something more exciting.

I intended to draw cherry blossoms again, but I’m really bad at them.
I used Zoya Angelina, a rich, cool-toned brown, China Glaze Keep Calm Paint On, a pistachio green with a subtle shimmer, and CG Pink-e Promise, a petal pink that looks much brighter in person than in the picture. I made the dots with a dotting tool.

Here’s another image. I took these at work before class began, so I apologize for the window reflections in my nails. Go Seche Vite shine!
And here’s a rather blurry picture I took with my phone (sorry) of Zoya Song, a gorgeous navy blue that shimmers like crazy in the sunlight. It so happens to match everything I own, at least that day.

Can you tell my favorite color is blue?
Those first two are a really pretty colour combination 🙂
Hi, I’m currently hosting a nail art competition on my blog, and since you’re interested in nail art, I was wondering if you’d like to join. If you do you can find the details at: http://nailartisan.wordpress.com/2013/05/03/exams-are-over-competition/. I’m hoping to get a lot of talented nail artists together, hopefully I’ll see you there!
Thanks! That sounds like a fun contest; I’ll have to do something inspired. 😀
Great! 😀
