Ombre Nails

It's no secret, this Summer the Ombre trend has been huge.  It's been seen everywhere on the runways. And has  been most common amongst clothing, nails, home decor etc.  However, one simple option to follow this trend is with good old Nail Art. This is especially ideal for  those of you who aren't brave enough to go Ombre with your hair color.

"Ignore my super tan hands!" This is due to the lack of sunscreen use! :)

Ombre Nails are so fun to create. Just prior to trimming my nails I went Ombre with my nails but now getting around to share 'em on my blog.  

There are many ways of achieving Ombre Nails. And there are quite a few tutorials on You Tube, if you're interested.

I used a basic cosmetic wedge sponge and applied the polishes onto the sponge then did a stamping motion onto each nail.  Easy Peasy! For step by step instructions, you may benefit from JuicyStar07's Blog post. She's awesome and I enjoy watching her.

Here's to Ombre Nails!

Crazy Dots Nail Art

Who says short nails can't be attractive? It's been a few weeks since I trimmed my nails and they have really grown out since so, I decided it was time for some fun and funky nail art.

Here's what I came up with: Crazy Dots using Sally Hansen's Limestone Polish as the base!

Sadly, my camera didn't do a good job at capturing this art's true beauty but at least it gives an idea of what fun designs can be achieved by using simple dots in varying sizes.  

This one came out more true to life.  The natural lighting did help a bit.

I did the exact design on my big toes except for the others where I affixed rhinestones.  

I really love how it all came together and had quite a lot of compliments on 'em.  I think it's rather unique, don't you?
