purple & gold

This is an odd purple for me.  It is much more of a warm purple (red undertones) than I normally use.  But it really works with gold.  Add some gold glitter to the tips and a full gold nail, presto - complete look.  Nothing fancy and very easy.

teal tips

Super short nails can still rock a colored tip.  It gives the illusion of a longer nail.  Such an easy look.  No extra brushes needed.  Just do the base colors.  Let dry and a quick swipe of the opposite color just on the tips.  Done.  Yes, the lines are not perfectly straight but it still works.

purple

Grey polish might be the trend this fall, but I do love a light purple polish.  I have a bunch of purple polishes.  I will do some grey paint jobs, but for now, I'll stick with purple.

This style of paint job I have done tons of times before.  It is quick and easy.  Apply your color base (1-3 coats depending on the polish coverage).  Let dry a bit.  Apply the glitter jelly polish in a line right at the tip of the nail.  Then brush from the middle of the nail down to fan out the jelly polish.  Apply a top coat & let dry.  Easy.

pretty pretty princess

Princess nails.  Maybe not a real modern princess but these are sparkly and on the pink side.  Plus the base color is Princesses Rule!.

A very easy paint job.  Just a base coat (or three) on the non accent nail.  Then toss on some pink halo polish on the accent nail and a bit on the tips.

Tons and tons of glitter!!  But micro glitter so it shines in all lights.  I realize I do this look a lot (glitter tips) but I really like it.  It works with almost any color polish.  It is also great for a thinner polish because the glitter tips help hid the nail tip.

glitter tips

 My nails felt naked without polish on them for the past two days so they got an easy paint job this afternoon.  I was picking through my polishes to see if something inspired me.  It turns out these two polishes were next to each other (I have my blue/green and glitters in the same drawer).  I wanted something simple as well so I just winged it.  I like the look.
