Fruit nail art series: Lemons 🍋🍋🍋

 Hi everyone!

I’m back with my last post of the fruit nail art series, Lemons! 

I decided to pair the yellow with navy blue to help it pop and wow, I'm so glad I did 😍. The yellow is OPI’s I Just Can’t Copa-cabana, and the blue is China Glaze’s Manhunt. 

I also decided to do a striped accent nail with China Glaze’s Manhunt and OPI’s Angel with a Leadfoot.

I LOVE this mani! It is definitely my favorite out of the series that I did. I love how the navy blue just makes the yellow pop even more! If you liked this mani let me know! Don’t forget to follow me on instagram @hailthenailblog!

You can find the China Glaze nail polish here, the OPI here, and the clay fruit pieces here.

See you guys next time for some fall inspired looks! 🍂🍁

Fruit nail art series: Oranges 🍊🍊🍊

 This is the second post of my fruit nail art series: Oranges! 🍊

The main orange color I’m wearing on my pointer and pinky nail, as well as the polish bottle I’m holding is China Glaze’s Papaya Punch. Ironically it was the most accurate orange for this design in my stash, despite being named after another fruit. The clear base with gold glitter on my middle and ring finger is OPI’s Oy-Another Polish Joke! 

I decided to accent the orange slices with a cutesy orange print design. For this I used China Glaze’s Papaya Punch and Zoya’s Hunter.

The first two photos are inside with flash. This last photo is under artificial light without flash.

I honestly didn’t know if I liked this design at first, but then I didn’t want to take it off! 😫 You can find the China Glaze nail polishes here, the OPI here, the Zoya here, and the clay fruit pieces here.

Leave a like and comment what you think!

Stay tuned for my next post in the fruit series!🍊🧡

Fruit series nail art: Watermelon 🍉🍉🍉

 Hi everybody!

I got a pack of these fruit clay pieces as an extra with an old online order of mine and I honestly had no idea what to do with them. I also wanted to do fruit themed nails so I decided to incorporate the two together. Thus, we have my fruit nail series! The first post in this series is Watermelon nail art.

           

          

I decided to do more of a skittle mani for this post. Here I have the little watermelon clay pieces over China Glaze’s Starboard, which I thought was a nice background to let the watermelon pieces pop on top, and still went with the color theme. 

The green and gold glitter on my pointer finger is China Glaze’s Running in Circles, which is also the bottle I’m holding. The red on my pinky is China Glaze’s Hey Sailor. These first two pictures were taken outside with natural daylight.

Here is another photo with flash to show a more accurate depiction of the colors.

You can purchase either of the China Glaze polishes from their website. I got the fruit clay pieces from an Amazon order I made a while ago, but I’m sure there are other retailers that sell them as well.

Thank you guys for reading and stay tuned for my other posts of the fruit nail art series! 🍉❤️💚

Floss Gloss Nail Art ft.: Lean!

 Hey guys!

So today I have nail art with Floss Gloss’s Lean! This is the second post in my mini-Floss Gloss swatch series. The other post in linked here. 

FG’s Lean is a light purple with some pink mixed in, or essentially a lavender-ish color.

I paired the swatch of this color with some light purple rhinestones and some light purple butterflies, both of which I got from amazon. I decided to place then over a clear polish. The links are attached on the respective products.

Thank you for reading my post! Stay tuned because I have a post coming up swatching my Ciate collection!

Floss Gloss Nail Art ft.: Faded!

Hey guys! 

So since getting back into painting my nails, I’ve been trying to incorporate nail art into colors that I have and have not swatched yet, so here I have a brand of polish that you might've heard of: Floss Gloss! Their colors are beautiful and I've heard their formula is amazing, too. So OF COURSE you know your girl couldn't stay away and just had to get her hands on some of their colors! Today I have nail art with Floss Gloss’s Faded to share with you all!

 

I thought faded would be a good match with China Glaze's Glistening Snow, and boy was I right! They balance perfectly: Faded being more muted and GS with the bling! I chose a leopard design to jazz things up since Faded is a more muted color. I also used two coats of Faded and Glistening Snow for the bases.

Reminds of a wanna-be snow leopard-ish kinda look. Perfect for Winter... or a gloomy day!

I bought Floss Gloss’s Faded at my local Marshall's, but you can also get them on Floss Gloss's Website or other retailers.

I hope you guys liked my nail art with FG's Faded, and I hope you'll stay tuned for another color of theirs I have coming up!

Comeback nail art

 Hi everybody!

It has literally been YEARS since I’ve blogged about my nail art, let alone posted on insta, but I’m back! Truth is, I’ve been wanting to make a comeback for a while, however, school and essentially life kept getting in the way. Now, I’m sure life will still get in the way, however, I have rediscovered my love for nail art and just painting my nails in general, so I am determined to keep up with it regardless of my other commitments. It’s nice to be back!

As you can imagine, taking a several year-long hiatus has definitely taken a toll on my nail art skills, but nevertheless I am posting, because again, I love doing nail art, even if it isn’t the cleanest line work or prettiest execution, and thats what really matters, right? So, without further ado, here is my very simple nail art to mark the return from my break! 

        Just some easy line work, because clearly I need work on it!

The base is my favorite baby pink, China Glaze’s Friends Forever, Right? and the gold is China Glaze’s I’m Not Lion. I used 2 coats of Friends Forever, Right? and one coat of I’m Not Lion. Top coat is HK Glisten and Glow’s top coat.

And here I included and out of focus picture so you can see the holographic beauty of I’m Not Lion 😍

Like I said before, its a rough start, but its still a start, and I’m glad to be getting back into things I enjoy doing just for the hell of it. Thanks for reading!
