Simple Floral
Inspired by MrCandiipants’ tutorial
![I might be obsessed. I also might have gone a little crazy when I went to Urban Outfitters with the intention of only buying Virgin. (Also has anyone else noticed that tumblr really screws up image quality? I feel like this is a recent thing.)

I just got actual striping brushes and you have no idea how excited I am to not have to use modified liquid eyeliner brushes anymore. I never really buy nail art supplies, I just make use of what I have lying around the house (like bobby pins instead of dotting tools). So when I had the opportunity to review striping brushes from the Born Pretty Store I jumped at the chance.
As you can see from this semi awful picture, the set comes with three different length brushes. I used the shortest one for these nails. I think I’ll probably end up using the shortest one most often because it gives me more control, but I’ll most likely use the other two for longer lines. These are nice and thin so I don’t think I’ll have to cut off any bristles.

Studs on studs on studs featuring Serum No. 5 Barely There
Barely there is a lovely sheer nude polish featuring silver glitter of varying sizes. Shown is three coats but I think it looks a lot better if you stick to one or two coats so it’s still sheer. And like all of the other Serum No. 5 polishes I’ve tried, the formula was great.

Glitter v-gaps featuring Serum No. 5 Girl’s BFF
Girl’s BFF is essentially the silver version of Girl’s Gotta Eat. It has silver glitter in varying sizes and I have to say that I really like it. I love glitter polishes that are all the same color just with different shapes and sizes, and because this one is silver it goes with essentially any polish! This polish isn’t too thick so it’s very easy to add multiple layers without worrying if your nails will ever dry. I have about three coats on my index and middle fingers and then I just sort of globbed it on the other nails because I got lazy.

I haven’t posted in forever and I feel horrible about it, it’s just that school has taken over my life!
It’s a long weekend though, so I decided to take a break and do nails inspired by my most recent obsession: Galaxy! I like how subtle these came out, and I just had to use Serum No. 5’s Starry Nights for the star shaped glitter!
Is anyone else as obsessed with galaxy as I am? I found a phone case on Etsy that I’m really tempted to buy, and I also really need want a galaxy sweater and leggings! I would have no idea what to wear them with but they’re just so pretty!
It feels both nice and weird having my nails painted after them being completely bare for over a month. Thankfully my index nail has almost grown back completely, I give it another week or two before it’s back to normal length. I don’t really have much to say about these other than that they were inspired by a design I saw by Lucy’s Stash!
This was my first attempt at geometric nails which is surprising considering how much I like them / how long I’ve been wanting to do them. The colors I used are Essie Navigate Her, Sinful Colors Dream On, and Serum No. 5 Call It a ‘Treuse (I will shamefully admit that it took me longer than it should have to figure out this name).
Call it a ‘Treuse is a “chartreuse polish with micro green and chartreuse glitter and multi sized fuchsia glitters.” I think the color combo is interesting and I definitely haven’t seen another polish like it.
