Red Sparkle Bows

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Not posting since Tuesday isn't that bad of me, right? Anyone following the Jubilee celebration? Currently, my brother is residing in London and I'm extremely jealous that I'm not there. Personally, I channeled my inner wahnails girl and created Jubilee nails for the occasion. That's not what I'm sharing today as my camera cord is fried :( but hopefully I'll have that up soon! (Edit: instagram photo preview here!)

Today's design is a simple bow design using a red glitter on top of a periwinkle creme. While I attempted using nail art tools the design seemed to be better when I didn't. So, the bow you see here was created with the regular polish bottle. 

The periwinkle is Essie Lapis of Luxury.Besides mint cremes, this is my favorite nail color. I can see myself buying all the periwinkles as what happened with me and mints. By the way if you buy Essie's retail it's called Lapiz of Luxury (which really annoys me, why do companies have to change names?). The red glitter is China Glaze Love Marilyn, a primarily red glitter with some silver hexes added. This is another easy design to create that yields great results.

All photos are taken inside with artificial lighting. Yes there are a lot of photos indicating my love for this simple but cute design.

Close ups of the bow.

Let me know if I should include less pictures. Not going to lie, sometimes I get carried away. Any periwinkle polish suggestions? I need them all. :)

Pastel Blue Bow Design

Good evening! Hope you have had a good weekend so far. Mine was great but exhausting. I got to go to a music festival and hiking with some close friends.

So, the design I'm sharing with you tonight is basically a pastel blue french tip and bow design on a pale yellow background. The yellow was hard to capture on camera though I feel like the last two photos portray it well. Sorry if the various backgrounds annoy you. I was trying to get a good picture and tried various places in my house in order to do so. The pale yellow is OPI Banana Bandana. It's my only light yellow and it has a decent formula. The blue is Essie Borrowed & Blue. It's one of my favorite shade of blues. Please excuse the nail growth shown here.

If you're in the U.S., hope you're long weekend goes well. Is anyone doing any patriotic themed nails? If you're not in the U.S., hope you had a great one! I know I did.
