Nail Art Inspiration

I just stumbled across the most amazing nail art tumblr page, Fuck Yeah Nail Art. I haven't made it even half way through the 144 pages of nail art inspiration but I wanted to share some of my favourites here. I have complained more than once that I am very bad at putting on nail polish and even worse when it comes to nail art but I would love to try all of these on my nails.










And here is my super lame in comparison and imperfect manicure this week. I'm wearing two coats of Essie's Velvet Voyeur.

I usually hate nail polish, especially those big plastic ones with all the crazy bits and pieces hangin' off em, but I really does these colours and designs! I think it's because they've been painted, and not stuck on....COOL!

I am not a huge fan of extreme nail arts...I love the classy nail polishes...

Heather said...

These are ahh-mazing! I love the floral print ones. I have absolutely no idea how these ladies do it. I have the most unsteady hand ever....it always looks like a 5 year old had a go at my nails.

These are amazing, but I'm with you - I just don't have the talent or the patience to pull these off. Though I really wish I did!

I love the 2nd one, with the purple and silver stripes, as well as the one with all the shades of blue! I wasn't able to paint a decent manicure either, until I switched to Zoya nail polish. It's so easy to apply, and dries in no time!

Bonnie said...

Baaahahahaaha. I love the ending of this post. You are not super lame!!! Compared to all of those pictures, we are ALL super lame, dude. For real.

Anisa said...

Ugh these nails are so beautiful! I wish I had the patience it takes to perfect such an art form (and pretty nails, siggghhh!) I really like the color of your essie's Velvet Voyeur, it's such a rich chocolately purple color (was I right? it's hard to tell over computer screens sometimes!)
