Nails of August

Hey Guys! Sorry for the lack of updating, August was a busy month (started back at school!) and I'm having a bit of down time because of labor day. I'll try and get a couple posts out of this weekend ;)

The pic above and the pic below are both nail designs I did on my Mom while I was in Virginia Beach visiting her. The design up top is a cloud design she picked out with a matte top coat. I LOVED the colors on her but she wasn't a fan of the orange. Below is a "mermaid" style design that she loved. 

Above is a gradient style design with a Matte top coat. I used three different Sally Hansen HD colors and a makeup brush to get the look. I LOVED it and I wore it until it started chipping. Below is a look that I have been chasing after for a while! I LOVE Rainbow Honey polishes and have been wanting Koi Pond for a while. The second I got it, I layered it over a dark blue by Jessica. So much sparkle was distracting :P

Above was my "first day of school" nails that consisted of JJL Precious Pink and JJL Fairytale. Loved it and it lasted a while. The picture below makes me miss my long nails! I had to cut them all off because one broke :(

Recent nail hauls. The one on top is from Marshalls and Walmart. I FINALLY found the lavendar-ish color I was looking for from the Color Show line. I'm really loving the top coat that came with the Jessica Heritage collection. I bought the below polishes at Ross, the entire purchase was around $8!! 

The best for last!! RAINBOW HONEY!!! Bah! The Rainbow Honey Sakura Matsuri Mini collection and Sakura Matsuri cuticle balm. I am in love with all these colors and cant wait to swatch them! 

You're probably wondering why there is a random Starbucks picture. One, because my nails look perfectly long and I didn't take a picture of the design I had on (it was a coral with white stripes!) and two because I REALLY WANT A VERY BERRY HIBISCUS REFRESHER RIGHT NOW! Yumm...
