Tribal Manicure

Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet // Kiss Nail Art Paint in Black and White

As you may have noticed, I didn’t post my manicure last week. The truth is my nails were bare last week (gasp!). You see, painting my nails is part of my Sunday evening “get ready for the week” routine. (Also, included in that routine: laundry and watching True Blood while eating ice cream. Important stuff, obvs.) When I didn’t get around to my nails the Sunday before last, I had every intention of painting them at some point during the week but that never happened. So, it was with great shame that I faced a week of bare nails, but I vowed to come back with a major manicure the following week. While I considered several designs, my last manicure – a simple tribal design – left me hankering to try something a bit more challenging but in the same vein. The dark colors of that last one felt a bit too heavy for summer, so this time I applied a mint green base before going at it with white and black striping polish. What do you think? I’m not going to lie; I’m a bit obsessed!
