Newsprint Nails

In the realm of nail art, newsprint nails probably score a 9.95 out of 10 for how easy and pretty they are. I really thought there would be more work involved in executing this manicure, but the hardest part for me was deciding which articles I wanted to cut out and press on to my nails. Seriously. Talk about first-world problems, right?

Matte Pink Paisley

Another week another manicure! I can't believe it's been over a month already since I started blogging. So much has changed, and I'm not just talking about my nails ;)

This week I've done a pink-on-pink matte paisley design. The monochrome colour scheme helps to prevent what is generally a busy pattern from becoming too loud, and the matte finish ties it all together for a design that is detailed, exciting and workplace approved.

Work Appropriate Glitter Half Moon Manicure

For my first week of work I had strict orders from my mother: no wild nails. I get it; it's an office job with a strong focus on client services, and even though I do work with children at least once a day, I probably should stay away from the cupcake nails and Hello Kitty accent fingers that I got used to at my old job.

As I sat there, rubbing last week's manicure off of my fingers, I tried to think of something that could pass in the workplace while still staying true to my inner nail art fiend. It's a tricky balancing act, let me tell you, but I think I figured it out.

Pastel Colour Block

This week I've got some super sweet nails for you! I don't know about you, but I love pastels. They're so soft and pretty and they work well with just about every outfit. There's also something about the pink-purple-blue combination that is really feminine, and it takes me back to the days of Lisa Frank!

This is one of my favourite nail art looks because of how simple it is. All you need are 4 colours, tape or a thin brush and topcoat! Easy!
