 When I first started doing my own nail art I used to struggle using my left hand. Don't worry though, it gets much easier with practice. Until you master the art of non dominant hand nail art, you can make your own decals!
 The french manicure is a classic design. You can spice it up a bit with glitter or use a different coloured tip, but it will always remain a classy go to for nail art. I'm going to show you how to do the french manicure 3 different ways.
 Poly gel is an acrylic/gel lovechild. It has all the benefits of gel, and doesn't stink like acrylic liquid. I want to share my first impression of polygel, and how I applied it. Is it as easy as it looks on nail videos???
 I've been seeing fiberglass nails all over the internet lately and I couldn't resist trying them. Nail videos make things look so easy, but then when you try it, it's a big frustrating mess! (acrylic nails for example). I wanted to share my first impression of fiberglass nails, and show you how I applied them.

 I remember how frustrating it was when I first started stamping. Next to acrylic nail extension this was the hardest nail art I've tried so far. There is definitely a learning curve. It was messy, the images were blurred, and I could never get the full image on the stamper no matter how hard I tried. I will save you the hassle and fill you in on what I learned from my many trials and errors. I will add my tips and tricks after the tutorial.
 The Christmas season is finally here! A time of giving and joy. The beautiful lights, the yummy baked goodies, but what I enjoy most is spending quality time with my family.

 Animal print nail art never gets old. You can change the colour to match the season making them a year round go-to for easy art. You'll get compliments everywhere you go! You'll be surprised at how easy it is.  I tried Finger Paints gel polish for the first time and I've created a monster! Since fall is fast approaching I thought I'd pick a few fall colours, but I finally tried it and now I need it in every colour! With the first coat, I knew I was dumping Gelish and moving on. Sorry not sorry Gelish!  I am obsessed with ombre! I love how the colours blend seamlessly into one another like a colour tug of war on your nails. If you're new to ombre, I recommend starting with 2 colours.
 Polish perfection takes time, and lots of practice! Especially learning to paint with your non dominant hand. I still make mistakes all the time so don't get discouraged. The good news is, most mistakes can be easily fixed with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover.

 Life can get pretty busy with all this adulting going on. Someone please remind me why I was in such a hurry to grow up? If you need me I'll be in my blanket fort colouring!
