Once, while living in NYC, a random girl on the subway said to me “Damn, why you gotta wear all the colors at once?!” :) This mani is dedicated to my fellow color junkies out there.
Serape-inspired nails!

80s-ish triangles! I love how this turned out, but then I went and decided to give my Essie: No Chips Ahead top coat another chance. I let it dry for 30 minutes, and it looked okay, but now here are bubbles in it this morning. There were no bubbles when I applied the top coat, and I didn’t shake any of my polishes. What gives?!
As an experiment, I’m going to see how long this mani really lasts. No Chips Ahead? We shall see.
80s nails for an 80s party!
I wanted to do something tribal today, but also something inspired by nature. So I decided to mesh the two! This mani was inspired by the incredible work of German biologist Ernst Haeckel. If you ever need inspiration, check out this Wikipedia page. My nails were specifically inspired by this collection of work.
