Distressed Brights

Hello lovelies!

Hopefully you guys all had a great weekend! I spent most of mine sick in bed but I did get a chance to hang out with some friends. I'm going to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding this upcoming May and we picked out our dresses! I'd be lying if I said I haven't already started thinking of some nail art to match it haha.

Anyways, onto today's nails!

Bright nails are more fun to think about than wedding appropriate ones, so that's what I have for you guys!

Here's what I used:

I don't always have the patience (or the time, let's be real here) to paint detailed nails like I normally prefer to and I think the distressed nail art technique is perfect for times like this! For example,  I accidentally fell asleep one night at midnight before I did any of my homework and didn't wake up till 6am. I never leave the house with bare nails but I needed something that I could do quickly while doing homework by my first class at 9:30am, so that's how these nails were born! I think I did these in like 10-15 minutes, including drying time, and I finished all my work :D

These nails started with two coats of Charmisa, which is a neon? has neon pigment in it? either way, it dries super quickly. I then just took each brush from the other colors and wiped off most of the polish and then ran that over my nails. The rhinestones were added with a little dab of topcoat and everything was sealed in with a layer of HK Girl.

I loved these nails so much! Sometimes simple nail art and some bright colors is all that you need. What's your quick, go-to nail art for when you're short on time? Let me know below!

Thanks for reading guys!
