Nails of the Day: Abstract Nails

Today's abstract nail art features some of my favorite pinky coral polish colors: Butter London's Kerfuffle (base), Essie To Have and To Gold (accent nail), NARS Vertebra Left, and Essie Wining Streak (dots). 

What have you been wearing on your nails lately?

NOTD: Southwest Inspired Nail Art

For this southwest-inspired (American Southwest) nail art I used NARS Vertebra Right (pinky and middle finger), Julep Jess (dots), and Essie Toned Down.

August Favorites: MAC, Ole Henriksen, Nars and More!

1. Rainymood.com. I love the rain and this website gives me the next best thing! I just turn it on at night on my Iphone when I can't sleep. It's an insomniac's dream.

2. Lorenzana polish by Julep. I have been wearing this perfect nude color for a few months after getting it in my last maven box!

3. Ole Henriksen's Truth Serum Collagen Booster. I can't get enough of this. I layer it under my Murad Night Cream and I have had the most flawless, dewy skin all month long. It's especially great because I feel like I don't get huge breakouts anymore or scarring left on my skin especially during that time of the month. ;)

4. MAC's Springsheen Blush. This blush is a total dupe of NARS Orgasm and also of Milani's Rose D'Oro. It gives you the perfect summertime flush of pink for youthful cheeks.

5. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. I am in the color Caramel. I have recently switched over to this concealer from Bobbi Brown since I feel like it creases less. I set mine with a little powder under the eyes and I am good for almost the whole day.

NAIL ART: Summer Inspired Gradient and Polka Dots

So I was inspired by the summertime (sunsets in particular out here in the desert) and some new polish colors I bought back in May to try to do my first gradient design.

I used Julep's Clara for the base's peach color and sponged the limited edition Pierre Hardy for NARS color Vertebra Left. For the dots, I used a dotting tool to carefully place Kiss Nail Art Paint in black.
Enjoy! XOXO,
