Runway Inspired Nail Art Tutorial and a Girls Night In!

I have long loved painting my nails.
You could almost call it a hobby.

Once upon a time (before kids) I would paint my nails every night! 

I glittered them, striped them, and played with colors.

When I would go to the store, I would always buy a new polish color - 

usually bright pinks and reds - oh how i loved reds!

I "adopted" red as a signature color in my early 20's
 (I always wanted to say I have a signature color!),
changed to nudes/pinks in my thirties,
and now, I think Nail Art my just be my thing!

I have to be honest, for the last year or so I have neglected my hands...

and I thought maybe this Nail Art was not for me...

maybe I was too old to pull it off, too lazy to worry about it....but oh how things change! 
I do adore fashion and knowing the trends and staying current on what is hot...
so I figured I had to try it!

I played with a couple Runway Inspired looks.

I created my own runway inspired nail art 
(that tutorial is a little bit further down in this post)

and the other I bought right off the shelf from Sally Hansen - the Salon Effects!
