Nails of the Day: Glitzy Pastel Striped Nail Art

I recently added Essie’s Full Steam Ahead ($8.50) to my nail polish collection.

The medium toned lilac bottled beauty inspired me to create a glitzy pastel striped nail art design.

This is a little close-up of the rhinestone action happening on the glitter accent nail. I used Prism by China Glaze ($6) to compliment the sheer shimmer of Essie’s East Hampton Cottage ($8.50) base color.

Nails of the Day: Gradient Negative Space Nail Art

Happy Grammy’s day! Contemporary chic meets absolute cuteness in today’s featured nail art.

I used Sugar Coat by Wet n Wild ($1.49) as a base color, added Oui! by Marc Jacobs ($18) as a gradient and layered a coat of Sparked by Wet n Wild ($4.70). To outline the accent nail I used Blanc by Essie ($8.50). I applied a nail accessory from Ocean Nails Supply in the center negative space and placed sequins from Jewelry Heist by Spoiled ($1.99) around the nail art ring.

Marvel’s Venom Inspired Nail Art

Where do you find inspiration? Is it something you feel or be?

Before I paint my nails, I think about people that influence me through their generosity and creativity. For this manicure, my brother came to mind.

He is one of the most artistic human beings I know. I posted a photo of a drawing he made on my personal Instagram about a year ago. He inspired me then and he inspires me now.

This photo does not do the drawing justice by any means.

One of my older brother’s favorite characters of all time is Marvel’s Venom. I let the poison take over me and created this nail art.

Katy Perry’s Prism Inspired Nail Art

Last week I was a lucky VIP guest at Katy Perry’s “We Can Survive” benefit concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Thank you Citi Bank!

This is how close my friend and I got to the beautiful “Firework” singer.

I was so moved, touched and inspired by Katy Perry and her new album “Prism.” From her power anthem, “ROAR” to her uncharacteristically vulnerable “By the Grace of God,” her new tracks offer pure pop positivity and relatedness.

The addicting album influenced these two manicures:

1. Louder than a lion ready to ROAR in this manicure.

2. Technicolor glitter manicure to reflect the light of a prism.

The Grand Prize Winning Manicure

Last month, I mentioned the possibility of going to New York because of a manicure I executed.

Turns out, it’s happening! My nail art helped me win an all-paid trip to the Big Apple (insert happy dance here).

In September, as I got ready to visit San Francisco to attend Sensation’s “Ocean of White” event, I entered the production company’s contest on Vine.

Sensation took to the bite-size video sharing platform to promote a contest challenging fans to share a creative video that included music or dancing.

My grand prize includes round-trip airfare, a two-night hotel stay and two tickets to Sensation’s 100th show taking place on October 26 at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn.

It’s going to be one heck of a party!

Here’s my video entry:

I was notified earlier this week that I won the grand prize.

I am incredibly humbled and so thankful for this generous opportunity.  Thank you, Sensation and Golden Voice!

Here’s a photo of the grand prize winning manicure.
