It's my birthday!

Today is my birthday! For some reason this year I am way more excited about it than in years past. I am 23 today, and I obviously had to do some nails to celebrate the occasion!

I decided to do a confetti pattern. I sort of made this up as I was going along!


I tried to channel my inner Michelle (Sonoma Nail Art) and add some shading to the ribbons and confetti pieces. I think it was (mostly) successful! Colors are listed below, but FYI: on the shading, I just took the base colors and mixed in a tiny bit of black.


The colors I used are:
  • China Glaze Heli-Yum
  • China Glaze Peachy Keen
  • China Glaze Happy Go Lucky
  • OPI Who the Shrek Are You?
  • Zoya Robyn
  • OPI Do You Lilac It?
  • Sally Hansen Insta Dri Whirlwind White


This was obviously painted freehand and I just used my favorite little nail art brush. I haven't done intricate nail art like this in a while so I was very excited to see the finished result!

I hope you all have a great weekend! I know I will. :)
