Inspire Me Monday

I wasn't feeling too inspired for today's manicure, so instead I just looked for some new nail art techniques to try on pinterest. I found a bunch of drip manicures, which I really like since it is a fun twist to the french manicure. And I got inspiration for the colors from my bedroom:



My room is still pretty high school, so every single wall is a different color. So i chose to use colors that represent the blue and green walls that are next to each other. I also wanted to show case what Jennifer Green is! The green is China Glaze- Def Defying from the Cirque Du Soleil collection. This is my all time favorite color, ever. And I am so happy I finally own a Jennifer Green polish from China Glaze! I have so many, it is pretty much the only color I will buy dupes of because I love it that much. The blue is Finger Paints- Winter Sky. I used this because it is a very thick opaque color, so it worked pretty well for this nail art design.

The way I made the drips was by using a medium sized dotting tool. I made a dot where I wanted the drip to end, and made a thick line dragging it towards the tip of my nail. Then I just filled in the tips and connected the drips to one another. My favorite nails are my pinky and index finger, mainly because the drips are more consistent.
