80s Two-Hand Mix Up

Today's nail art design features four different designs across both hands. On my right hand, I went for some easier designs to try to make it a little easier on my less skilled left hand. On my left hand, I did a tried and true pattern, plus a little something new!

The whole look feels pretty 80's to me (especially the designs on my left hand), and I am SO loving it!

I did inverted triangles on my pinky, ring finger, and thumb. It's one of my favorite looks and I was so happy to wear it again.

My middle and pointer fingers have a new design on them! I did some jagged zig zags of varying heights -- switching the order of the colors between the nails.

On my right hand, I've got two designs, both of which I have tutorials for! The awesome thing about them is that they both use a dotting tool to create the patterns, which is really easy for my left hand to use.

My pinky, ring finger, and thumb feature a gradient dot variation!

My middle and pointer fingers have a fierce leopard print.

Here are the polishes that I used.
Misa Ripe Raspberry (pink)
Essie Butler Please (cobalt blue)
China Glaze Sunday Funday (aqua)

Come for the party, stay for the nails

My roommate Dayna and I host get togethers for our friends at our place sometimes. At one of the events a while ago, I started doing some nails for one of the guests and it turned into a thing! I ended up doing a lot of nails that night and thought I'd share some of the more exciting looks with you guys. The photos were impromptu and taken with my iPhone, so they are a bit of a departure from my usual aesthetic. Still, enjoy!

I was uber happy with the way these galaxy nails came out. I'm telling you guys, China Glaze Fairy Dust is where it's at for the starry look!

The color combination that was chosen for these gradient dots turned out so minty and cute. I believe this was China Glaze Re-fresh Mint and China Glaze For Audrey in addition to the white.

Jellyfishies! They are on a gradient base but unfortunately it is a little difficult to tell in this photo. I also painted over them with glow in the dark polish so they would, well... glow in the dark.

Sexy glowy purple leopard. Always a winner.

And finally, drips! I like the tone on tone effect here.

Would you wear these looks? I think these came out well considering I was in a social mindset. What would you have requested if it had been you getting your nails done at the party?
