In my Pinterest adventures, I keep stumbling across beautiful nail art. I’m envious of the intricate designs that some nail artists are able to create, but the problem is…as much as I love the look of painted nails, one, I bite my nails so my nails are weak and uneven, and two, I have never painted my nails as an adult! Ack!

So, needless to say, this Pinterest adventure really took me out of my comfort zone. I’m a low-maintenance, no-makeup-not-even-lipgloss kind of gal.

I wanted to try my hand at nail art after seeing pins like the ones that you can find in my Hair and Fashion pin board. My favourite was a mint and coral design with little triangle tips.

Seeing as I’m such a newbie, I decided that doing a design on each tip was asking too much of my limited skills. I settled on a variation. I did a mint polish on each finger except the ring fingers, where I did a coral polish instead. On the thumbs only, I painted a triangle in coral.
