I wanted to experiment with different sized and coloured beads and gemstones so I went a bit OTT with this design but I really was just exploring. Even though I would never wear something as extravagant as this outside the house unless it was in Japan or halloween, I would like to change this to a more wearable look. I think I need to get for a softer more washed out pink and perhaps use smaller beads or just none at all on a few nails. What do you guys think?
CAMO NAILS
One of you suggested camo nails so here we go! They really are quite easy. I painted one coat of a metallic green on one nail and on the rest of the nails I painted two with white and two with a pale pink colour. Then, I had a green, dark green, yellow and darkish gold on hand and I basically dotted away. Neatness isn't exactly key here so I think this is a really easy nail to do! Don't be afraid to experiment without a tutorial. As for the remaining lonely green nail, I painted another coat of the metallic green and while it was still wet I added the studs. You could try this for halloween if you aren't going for the zombie/scary look but just want to dress up and instead go as an army officer. A few of you guys have been asking me where to get these studs. I'm lucky enough to be in Japan right now where the amount of nail-art products and accessories is absolutely overwhelming but similar studs can be found on amazon or ebay.

CASUAL OUTFIT
I was only going out rent some movies and return the ones which I had finished watching so I wasn't really going to throw on something fabulous. I'm usually a bit self-conscious about my legs because I don't exactly have the most toned ones but I feel quite comfortable wearing these levi shorts which I actually bought for only 円900! It was in the second hand part of the Spinns store in Kyoto which I absolutely love.

STUDDED x CROSS NAILS
Nail growth polish really works! Just kidding, I applied clear nails to both hands and went from there. I have clearly taken my studs obsession to the next level with this nail design! It was actually a lot more simple to do than I had originally thought but it requires a lot of patience and care. The 'blue' colour is actually a lot more green in real life. I bought a rose gold stud set and also a dark brown one which I've been thinking of using for a camo themed designed. I might film a tutorial on this when I get back to Luxembourg but on my normal length nails.
