Williamsburg Bridge mani. Used pearl rhinestones in two sizes and painted lacquer over to make rivet effect.

Klimt nails!! I was inspired by The Kiss, Hope, Tree and Adele Bloch-Bauer. I had so much fun doing this mani and so I am definitely going to do other artists soon!

Too many colors to list, but the base color that ties 'em all togehter is Deborah Lippmann's Nefertiti.

Stacked Arrows! I've been seeing a lot of tribal nails lately and this is how my interpretation of all that turned out. This was really hard to freestyle!!

Message me for colors used cause there are too many to list!

My boyfriend did my nail art!! (i did the polish of course)

He copied a bunch of designs that are either directly or abstractly based on his tattoo, which is a traditional polynesian design. ah! this is going to happen more often!!!!

we've got a fishtail/basket weave, abstract design, flower petals/leaves, another basket weave and waves/fishscales! i'm obsessed! (and very proud of my amazing boyfriend for his successful first attempt at nail drawing!)

no easy way to say this. I should be celebrating my first full year as a full time nail tech in high demand but.. ya girl fucked around and gave herself tendinitis, it seems. my OT says I can only take one (1) client per working day until I am back to homeostasis or whatever. if you’re currently on the schedule, no worries, you’re staying there. but maybe you noticed booking with me is a bit different for the time being. ask and ye shall receive. lowkey grateful for this problem. high key grateful for acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine for getting me back on my feet/hands. #gpoy (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPf99W3hcmm/?utm_medium=tumblr
