nail love.

i love painted nails.

i think living with and being friends with 

eleanor (who used to paint & re-paint her nails almost everyday

when we were in college) gave me the appreciation for a fine manicure.

lately, thanks to pinterest i've been obsessed with funky designs and 

creative, colorful nails.

my fabulous cori surprised me with a bunch of cool

nail colors that have the fine tip to allow for creating designs. 

here's a few from cori!

at the beach i did my mom-in-laws toes.

she loved the poka-dots!

here's a few of my recent favs that i hope to create soon.

buzzzzz....

fancy pancy black-tie nails.

love simple dots.
