Nineteen Fragments of Love and Velvet Flora

THIS.  THIS BEAUTIFULNESS.

  NINETEEN NEW NAIL POLISHES.  N.I.N.E.T.E.E.N.  IN ONE DAY.  FROM ONE PERSON.  FOR NO OCCASION.  JUST BECAUSE SHE'S FREAKING NICE. OH MY GOSH.  I FEEL SO RICH, IT'S RIDICULOUS.  I'M SO WELL-LOVED!!  Soooo... I wanted to do a nail art that looked as wealthy as I felt...

Aaand... it ended up being... another floral nail art >_> ...But I was thinking of doing some tribute to said friend but then I realized it'd be kind of creepy... so this was the next best thing I guess, well, after the idea I had to use all nineteen colors at once anyway.

Ended up looking more oriental than wealthy-like T3T I think it would have been fabulous to make it matte, but the friend I could borrow a matte topcoat from is out of state, so I'll just have to be content with this.

Rolling on the Floral Laughing

Ever since our Friday Bible study (7/13), I've been feeling seriously on top of the world > ~ < Everything just feels brighter, so I was pretty much itching to use this neon yellow.  The design is floral (again), but upside down, it kind of reminds me of Henna tattoos.  Unfortunately, my nail broke soon after T3T I really love my left pointer finger too...

The only decent picture I got of my nails when they were all in one piece...

French French Nails

This was actually a request from my pastor's daughter who checks my nails every week & asks for France-themed nails.  I didn't want to do it since I've already done it before (before I started taking pictures), but since I'm going off to college & don't plan on seeing her very often, I decided why not?  The first design I did was better and the flag was actually correct, but it wasn't really worth redoing it.

"je t'aime" (French for 'i love you') hearts, Eiffel tower with national flag (if you, you know, switch the blue and red >_<;; I was too lazy to actually look it up and now I kind of regret it...), heart, two hearts

"Love" and two hearts

In Bloom

Went to a pastor's house for a post-VBS pseudo-party: ate from a taco truck, socialized, learned quite a bit about pedicures and sanitation, ate ice cream, played gameboy (SP >:D), & painted nails.  I usually plan out my nail art (look @ pix for inspiration, draw it out, w/e), but this one was pretty much spontaneous, so the design is pretty inconsistent xP ...Somehow, it reminds me of the rose in Beauty and the Beast.  Except more spring-y.

Who's that Pokemon?

At Knott's, they have all these games you can play for prizes, and I really wanted a Pokemon doll, so I asked my pastor who claimed he was supa-skilled in basketball (who was also chaperoning) if he could play the game for me.  I was planning on paying for it and everything, but after he got it (three tries isn't bad ;D), he just gave it to me as a graduation gift!~  It made my week TTwTT  Thus, my subsequent nail art.

Happiness and love in plush form <33
