2014 Easter Inspiration

Hi Everyone!

Get your eggs and dye ready; Easter is coming up this weekend! Growing up, my family celebrated Easter by dying our eggs different colors of the rainbow. I remember I used to enjoy that activity so much; maybe I should do it again this year. How do you all celebrate Easter? 

Speaking of Easter, I designed and painted my nails dedicated to 2014 Easter. I made each nail look like an Easter egg with cute and colorful patterns that you would see on decorated Easter eggs. Overall, I think I am improving on painting/designing my nails. I am still a beginner when it comes to painting my nails, but I am happy of how my Easter-themed nails turned out. What do you all think of my nails?

Spring 2014 Inspiration!

Hi everybody!

Happy Spring to all! What are some of your favorite things about Spring? I love the in-between weather where it isn't too hot or too cold and the beautiful sight of mother nature blooming to life painting the earth with every color in existence. :) 

To celebrate the change in season, I painted my nails in a Spring theme.

What do you all think? I'm proud of how my nails turned out; it's so cute and pretty. :) The only thing I had issues with is that I have air bubbles trapped under my top coat layer on a few of my fingers. Do any of you have any advice on how I may prevent this from happening in the future? If so, please share it with me in the comments below; thank you for your advice.

This time I didn't design my nail design but followed the instructions shared by Bubzbeauty. She is a very talented and inspiring makeup guru on YouTube; thank you for all that you do for your followers, Bubz!
