Crazy Finals!

Sorry I haven't posted anything today. I likely won't be posting anything until Monday. This week has been finals, and going home will be crazy!

The Luck Of The Irish

I just wanted to do something simple, but fun. And this just reminds me of leprechauns.

I used Zoya Shawn, and Zoya Ivanka for the accent.

Sorry about the ripped thumbnail. I can't bring myself to cut it off =(

Stay Serendipitous!

Zoya Polish Exchange Haul!

It finally came! I'm so excited! I immediately painted my toes with a new polish. Zoya polish exchange is pretty much the highlight of my year. Who doesn't want Zoya for half off?

Anyway, here's what I got!

Top: Cynthia, Breezi, Wednesday, Noel, Charla, Ivanka, Shawn

Bottom: Lotus, Ki, Pinta, Mira, Lael, Ciara, Areej, Reagan

This haul took a considerable chunk out of my Zoya wishlist! There's still many more polishes on it; but I'm happy for now! =) 

Stay Serendipitous!

Mermaid Monday!

I've decided to start a blog special! I love fantasies and fairy tales--and the mermaid is a unique make-believe creature that inspires amazing nail art! So I am going to start doing Mermaid Mondays! Some will be nail art or patterns, others will just be a mermaid inspired color. I may not be able to do one every Monday, but I will certainly do my best!

So, without further ado, the very first Mermaid Monday! Today's design is inspired by mermaid scales. The grey is sleek and underwater-ly (if that's a word); and the green is the mermaid's tail. (Polish and technique after pictures).

For the base I used OPI Mermaid's Tears. Over the ring finger, I layered on China Glaze Hook And Line. For the scales I used Zoya Opal. Opal just gave it a glittery look, and that wasn't exactly how I wanted it; so I covered them in Essie Matte About You. I think the matte really makes the manicure. It makes them look much less glittery, and more like actual sacles. They definitely still catch the sunlight; but there's a hint of mystery--much like a mermaid.

Stay Serendipitous!

Spring 2012 Nail Trends!

According to Harper's Bazaar one of the main trends this spring is neutrals! But, luckily, another trend is fancy patterns! =)

Here are some of the highlights from the article!

Color Me Loud

Sorry this isn't extremely nail related, but I'm very excited about this!
Tonight my college has a year end student led concert that they have every year. This year's theme is color me loud. And since the theme is color, of course I'm wearing a black and white striped dress. I did my nails a simple matte white with black accent finger, and then black with a matte white accent (hardly picture worthy). But the shine and the matte really contrast nicely!

I was going to do paint splatter nails (COLOR ME LOUD), but I ran out of time =(

And just so you can get a taste of how awesome tonight is going to be; here are the preview videos.
