Handful of Strawberries

Hi, everyone!  I've got a really cute design to show you all...












Doesn't it look like a handful of strawberries?  They look so real.  This is definitely one of my favorite designs.  It was also super fun to paint these.  I painted all of my nails red and then painted on some leaves at the bottom of my nails with a small paint brush and green polish.  To do the seeds I used my paint brush again with black polish.  So cute!  I highly suggest trying this design - it's really easy and fun and will have you (and others) staring. :)

Olympic Nails

Hey, everyone!  I just came up with a new design to show some Olympic spirit...















A geometric (or block) Olympic design!  Notice the bronze, silver, and gold colors I used for my geometric design?  To do this, I painted all of my nails white and then painted all of my nails except for the thumb a bronze color.  I used a gray color (which, unfortunately, turned out to be a more blueish color) and filled the bottom 2/3 of my nails slanting in one direction.  For the gold I filled the bottom 1/3 the opposite direction (if I'm making any since).  The Olympic rings are pretty self-explanatory - I used a gold nail art pen.  Geometric and block designs are a pretty big trend right now - what better way to try one out for the first time than this neat design?  Hope you enjoyed, and will try it yourself!
