Swirlin' about in the Polish

Today I decided to mess around some more with needle drag or no water marble technique, whichever way you think is best to call it.  I had this urge to toss some glitter upon it as well.  My motivation for nail art lately has been really...lacking.  Have you ever had those moments?

Oh nails, Y U SO SHORT?!

So last week I mentioned in my post I mentioned that I had to cut down my nails.  A few have seen these already on my quick shot upon Instagram.  I decided to make an actual post of it. 

It'll take some time to get use to short nails again, but hopefully they speed up in growth like they normally do. 

My current nails: Neon and Black

I actually woke up today at 6:40am and got to doing a gradient splatter scene on my nails, since I couldn't go back to sleep (thanks hubs for allowing the alarm to scream).  I was suppose to do my nails yesterday but after five designs on my hand, I was just not feeling it.

Nails done? Mhmm! Finally!

So I finally had time to do some actual nail work on my nails, other than my typical nail gradient splatters (which I still freakin' love).
I kept it simple and just used four colors.

Nails done? OH YEAH! Check!

So I decided to try a different color combo with the acid  grunge nails (tutorial), and used the colors that inspired me from a shirt I saw in Target.  The way it came out reminded me of wall paint peeling off an abandoned house.

So there you have it!  Have you tried doing those nails yet?  If you have shoot me a link!

Nails done? OH YEAH! Check!

Was suppose to post this earlier, but I was honestly having one of those moments where stress was kicking my ass.  So here is what on my nails at the moment:

Right Hand

The roses were inspired by two wonderful girls:

• CutePolish - She was one of the first YT nail art videos I started watching.
• Solmate - Megs is such a sweet girl, and good friend.  When I saw her tutorial of roses, I knew I had to try them.

I decided to mix the roses in with my version of acid wash nails.  Instead of using a nail art brush, to apply the nail polishes, I went with the second option of using the nail polish brush itself.  Not to mention different nail polish color combos.
