NOTD: Pink Tie-Dye


Quick little nothing post for you all but I figured, since my nails were kind of sort of everywhere in my April Birchbox post, I should put this up for those that expressed interest in my colorful digits!



I always wonder if people are grossed out by the dust/buildup on my nail polish bottles haha... it's just not something I can wipe off though because I keep my nail polishes out in the bathroom and, like many, I spray hairspray in the bathroom so the dust sticks to the hairspray and it's basically stuck on there for the rest of forever. 


Anywhew, these nails are the type that look suuuuper complicated to create but in reality only take 10 seconds (give or take) per nail. 
I'm not sure if any of you remember a certain nail post from way back when but I basically did the same thing here as I did there except on my whole nail. All you have to do to recreate this look is grab at least two polishes, put a few blobs of each color onto your nail, then swirl the colors together with the end of a bobby pin; easy peasy!! Slap on a super glossy top coat and you've got a fantastic looking manicure (if I do say so myself).



Another thing people always wonder is if I only paint the nails on my left hand when I do nail art. To answer I have to laugh a little and say no way!! I'm lucky in the sense that I'm semi-ambidextrous (I am predominantly right handed but am left hand dominant with certain things like rolling camera film [and other semi-useless life skills]) but I usually only take a picture of my left hand because my camera is right handed... if you've ever tried to take a picture on a right handed camera with your left hand then you know why I don't really ever do it haha ;)
I included a photo of both hands for you all though so you know you can trust me!

How have you all been?
Done anything creative with your nails lately?
Do share!!

  2. Beautiful! I can't wait to try this with the massive amount of nailpolishes my fiance surprised me with (and by massive, I mean he got me at least 15 polishes). Once again, there you go inspiring me. : )

    1. OH MY GOSH, you clearly have the best fiance in the worrrrrrrld!!! Haha I would have been absolutely giddy and then baked him a cake. So glad to inspire, these nails really are very easy to do and I'm sure you'll love the results you get because they'll be uniquely your own! ^__^

    2. He can be pretty darn fabulous. Instead of a cake, I got him something from Birchbox (from the man's side of course). Lol. You have me addicted to their site. I do my own acrylics and I think this will look amazing once I put my nails on again. : )

  7. I'm useless with marbling and swirling, haha. This is so cool! Look like what I imagine a strawberries and cream ice cream flavor would look like packaged in a tub of ice cream! Mmmm! :)
