Nail Art │ 50+ Nail Art designs [Challenge Roundup]

Oct 7, 2016
Hi, there! Happy Friday!!
Normally on Fridays I would post some nail art, but as the Nail Art Challenge I followed has finished last week, I thought it was time for a roundup!
So if you were looking for inspiration for doing your nails, this post may come handy, as I'm about to present you 52 different nail art designs in one place!

Nail art │Fancy a cappuccino? Last nail art design, now what?

Cappuccino nail art

Hello Sweeties!! Happy Friday!
As I told you earlier this week, next week we'll take a few days off to enjoy a family vacation, so this weekend I might be taking a close look to the weather forecast (weather is so changing lately) so I can properly pack. I will probably end up overpacking..right? but I do that regardless of the weather conditions since I have children! What will you be up to this weekend?
Now, I'm quite sad to introduce the VERY LAST appointment of the 40 Great Nail art Ideas Challenge. OH no!!  I can't believe I've created 52 nail arts for this challenge and one whole year just went by like that, but yes, that's the case. The prompt this last week is "earth tones". Today's manicure is also a good one for short nails, I hope you like it!

Nail art │Autumn inspired manicure to welcome the season

Nail art │Autumn inspired manicure to welcome the season

I might have said it 2 million times already, but I love Fall. I love this season in a particular way, it's mainly because of the colours, the stylish yet cozy outfits, boots, scarves, JACKETS (my favourite piece of clothing are jackets, which are yours?) and of course, landscape colours. There is something magical about walking in the woods while the trees chenge from green to virtually every shade between orange to gold. I find it poetical, inspiring and it really boosts my creativity!

Ok, I could talk about Autumn for ages, but the point today is that the "40 Great Nail Art Ideas Challenge" has chosen "Autumn" as today inspiration for nail art, so I have a new manicure to share with you!

Red, yellow & green Splatter Nail design with OPI Washington collection

Hello Sweeties!! Happy Friday!
It looks like we are going to have the first gloomy weekend in a very long time, so Fall is announcing itself  on time. It is not all bad because I'd like to do some deep house cleaning on Saturday (yay... not) and  it is something I much prefer doing when it is not sunny outside. On Sunday we'll probably have some family quiet brunch time and hope the weather will improve by then. What are your plans for the weekend? I'd love to hear what you are after and give me some ideas!

Now, as every Friday it's time for nail art! Today I'm showing you another nail design for the 40 Great Nail art Ideas Challenge, and the prompt this week is "red, yellow, green". Today's manicure is also a good one for short nails, I hope you like it!

Anyways, it's time for another nail art for the 40 Great Nail art Ideas Challenge, and the prompt this week is "Books". I think this is so far the most challenging of the prompts!

Nail art designs for short nails Orange saran wrap

Happy Friday sweeties! How are you?
You must have read about our hectic vacations here, if you have, you won't be surprised to know practically all of my nails broke during vacation and they still have not recovered. I had all my manicures done in advance until last Friday, so that is why you've been seeing my long nails on last weeks' pictures. But in reality, I haven't been painting my nails for about 4 weeks, trying to let them get a bit stronger. So I though this could be the ideal time to prepare for you a series of posts about short nails!

Today I'm presenting to you one nail art design that in my opinion works best with short nails, which is also my manicure for the 44th appointment to the 40 Great nail art ideas Challenge. Please keep reading to find out how to do this design!

Nail art layered stamping marine landscape

Hello, sweeties! Happy Friday!
Right now I am feeling excited as a child, and the reason is on Monday my big boy will start SCHOOL!! I have a mix of feelings going on, it's very difficult to explain! I'm excited, a bit anxious, impatient, happy, a bit moved... all-in-one. This baby of mine is already four years old, and he'll start a path of his own. So, let's keep moving, and not thinking too much about it or I'll start crying.
INTO the NAILZZZ! As every Friday I'm bringing to you a new nail art manicure for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas, today's prompt is "Things in the water".

NOTD | Wedding Manicure ideas

Jun 4, 2016

Happy Saturday sweeties! How have you spent the day?
For the past few weeks, I've been late for the appointment with the 40 Great nail art ideas Challenge. The very simple reason is I am very busy lately, and by the time I reach Friday, I am so tired I can't stay up late for writing (that's when I prepare my posts while everybody else sleeps). So I thought, instead of fighting my own exhausted self, I would let it flow, try to have my well deserve rest, and post when I can. I hope you bear with me!

This week we are doing our manicures with a MUST for the season: "Wedding" inspired nail art!
