Statement nails

As I sit thinking about what latest nail colour I should paint my nails, I think to myself why do I obsess about such a small part of me. Nails are such a small part of our body, yet I always seem to be thinking about them, what colour should I paint them? Will they match my weekly array of outfits? It all seems kind of silly and time wasting but why do I still find the need to do something different with my nails?

In saying this I caught myself researching when I stumbled across some great blogs with amazing nail art, scrolling through the pages of the blogs I found out that Iscreamnails.com.au actually pop up around Melbourne to paint nails in crazy designs. Another blog led me to supanails.tumblr.com/shop, where I am now lusting over some incredible nails.

All this Nail art inspiration gave me an idea; why not match you nails to a print, you want to rock that dress you just had custom printed and made, but don’t know what colour nails to match your outfit with, why not get creative and go print crazy and paint your nails with the same print! A Quick search on the web led me to one fantastic example using designer Karla Spetic’s garments as inspiration.

Seeing as I have zero patience with waiting for nail polish to dry, and always seeming to bump and ruin them, I believe I’m due for a Melbourne visit very soon. Now to decide what kind of nail art I want to commit to for a week or two.
