Nail obsession

I have been completely obsessed with painting my nails lately. I went through a shellac phase for awhile but since I am on a budget, and would rather see my money hanging in my closet than on my nails, I have reduced going to the salon!
Of course I am crazy about pinterest... And there are so many amazing nail ideas on there. Unfortunately I am not that creative. A few weeks ago my niece was in town and we tried out the Sally Hansen Salon Effects. I chose Mad for Plaid (because I am!) and my niece got Spring Fever (there is a picture below). I really liked the Salon Effects. They stayed on for quite awhile (like 12 days!!!) and I got tons of compliments! I have a couple more sitting in my bathroom waiting to be applied. 

But yesterday I decided to try something different. I have seen a lot of girls with french manicures but updated. So I tried it out. I used China Glaze-Sunset Sail as my base coat. And then did a bright pink (Sally Hansen-Fuchsia Power) as the tip! 

I love how they turned out!!! 

What do you think?!?!?!
