Nail Art Roundup: Jan - March 2017

Glitter, gradients, minimalism & dots oh my!

Oh hey peeps. It's been a while (are you sensing a common trend?) I'll plead insane business at work as my excuse for not keeping up with this blog as well as I should. But I swear - I'm getting caught up and then will be in a much better groove. Hopefully.

The past couple months have been busy (broken record I know!) and the fast pace of life is definitely evident on my nails - designs have gotten simpler, and tried and true designs have made multiple appearances. And - shockingly - a few times I went out with only ONE SHADE ACROSS ALL TEN NAILS. Say what??? I know guys, it's been rough.

But taking it back to a more minimalist place hasn't necessarily been a bad thing - I'm kinda digging the designs...and my shorter nails.

Some highlights:

NUDE & GLITTER (bottom middle): I don't often do glitter placement - or nude nails. But I loved how these turned out. And that teal fabric? Those are the new curtains in my spare bedroom (/nail salon).

MINIMALIST DOTS (large focus): With "Mind your Mittens" by Essie as the base, this simple mani is one of my all time faves!

REVLON'S HOLOGRAPHIC TOPPER (bottom right): Hauled in my winter nail polish shopping spree, Revlon's "Holographic Pearls" top coat is DIVINE. I just love how it pulls a blah look together in one easy step.
