Beachy Nail Art

I moved to the Midwest (from the Mid Atlantic) at the beginning of the summer and went into labor the day after we moved! Needless to say, my life has been a busy whirlwind but I love it. My husband and I usually spend a week every summer at his family's beach house on the ocean. Due to finishing jobs, packing, moving over 1,200 miles, having a baby and starting a new job we never got our vacation. That is until our families surprised us and we adapted our schedule. We will be flying to the east coast at the end of this month for our beach vacation and I cannot wait! (Any tips for flying with an infant are appreciated!)

In lieu of my excitement I created a beachy manicure complete with sparkly texture, dry-brushed gradient, and some "scribbles."

Polishes used: Zoya Bar, Song, Rocky, Rebel, and Purity

The Luck O' the Irish...

Many of you have exciting and festive weekends planned. Being pregnant means that this is not a "fun" day to celebrate. I am instead going to do other fun things and channel the inner Irish in me through my lovely manicure. I must confess that this is not a holiday or celebration that I normally get really into. I normally create more subtle St. Patrick's Day manicures, as seen here and here. This year I enjoyed taking it to the next level (and it's better than solid green).

What do you think? What does your St. Patrick's Day manicure look like (festive or unfestive)? Feel free to leave links below:)

Polishes used: Zoya Edyta and Tomoko with rhinestone accents.
