I'm stepping away from The 5 Keys to Dressing Well today, and since I have been talking a lot about color lately, I want to share with you one of my latest obsessions, you might know by now, as I have written another post about my own experiences with Nail Art! I just think it is such a nice way to experiment with color and with different styles. You can create almost anything and with the added bonus that mail enamel is not expensive and you can remove it in minutes in case it didn't turn out as planned!

What I think is great about it, is that you can wear so many colors and really brighten up your look. I don't recommend it for all ocassions though, but that is why it is so great that a little bit of polish remover and a few minutes later you can go back to a clean slate, although I must say some of those adhesives takes some time to remove.

But, why am I thinking about removing the polish? Even before I have started?!? I guess you just have to want to call attention when wearing nails like this, and maybe today is not the day for me! Doesn't it happen to you? I'm sure it does, some days you want to scream LOOK AT ME PEOPLE!!! And some days you just want to stay at home, relax, watch a nice movie and practically don't talk to anybody?! If that is the case for you today, then just take a look at this Nail Art I found online and you might just change your mind! Who would want to stay in with such great nails?!

Would you dare even try? Enjoy!

I tried it out last weekend, just trusting my pulse and my own creativity to come up with some crazy design that would look amazing not just on the nails, but would look overall pretty on my hands! I even thought my goal was kind of hard as I tried to do some "classic" nail art, that would go with everything I'd wear during the week. There is no classic nail art! It is crazy, fun, and trendy! But there is a way of doing it with style, it might not be classic, but it can be stylish...

After painting them with a base of OPI bright orange, I proceeded to draw little dots with a dark gray color, that I think its called Lincoln in the Park at night....is it? Well, I don't remember and now I am feeling kind of lazy to go and check it out...anyway.....I ended up messing it up, when I started to incorporate a lighter version of orange, plus a light blue! Yes! I admit it, I had to use polish remover because what started as a cool trendy activity that would make me even trendier ;-) became a messy affair. I started to put coats and coats of different colors on top of one another, and it became a paste, difficult to remove!
So now, I found this blog, and she gives tons of ideas on how to do your nail art, and best of all, they are inspired on beautiful clothing designs. Check it out it is MissLadyFinger and this cool pictures are from her blog.
