Inspired by...

...Pinterest! Amanda and I decided to try our hand at some of the nail art we see on Pinterest and Instagram. (By the way, if you want to follow me, my username is amanda_npe on both!) My inspiration came from Pinterest, where I saw this post from Beauty Tips n Tricks.


My version is a little different as I chose different colors and rather than trying to draw hearts, I used iridescent/white heart glitter (I can make one heart well, two will be good but not the same, and three I get into rocky very mismatched territory).






For my version I used a set of scented minis that Amanda sent me, actually. I was fairly naive and didn't realize they were all scented until I started using them and HOLY COW was that a nasal nightmare. I didn't keep this on long because of the smell of four different scents going on at once. I used Cherry, Blue Raspberry, Orange, and Grape from Jolly Rancher/Nerds sets available at Claire's. They applied okay but were actually pretty difficult to remove, which surprised me. On the second coat, I added the hearts while wet and voila! Very easy start to my Inspired By... series :)

xoxo,
Amanda
