The Tipsy Nail

Class of ‘26 🎓
When two out of your three kids have promotion ceremonies this week, the neon manis take a pause!
My oldest is headed to high school, and my second kiddo will be off to middle school this fall. 🥺
Apparently, I also didn’t buy a single graduation set this year, so thank goodness I had some of this year’s New Year’s sets stashed away.
And just like that, I’ll have three kids in three different schools next year 😬 How did that happen so fast? 😭

I call this my Bec - Color Street Nail Artist inspired mani. She was the very first nail artist that I saw do this mirrored heart and I fell in love. Hers was all hand cut and simply amazing and mine is an “easy girl” recreation as Color Street made her design into an overlay. Thanks for the inspo Bec!!

about another mermaid mani 😂 On another note, Cool in the Pool is one of the new neons from the “Glow Hard or Glow Home” collection, and if you haven’t grabbed it yet, you’re seriously missing out! It’s hands down my favorite neon from the new release!!

Mermaid Nails are my favorite nails 🧜🏻‍♀️ The glitter in Opal Illusion is the same as the glitter in Everlasting Lavender and I knew I had to use these sets together! I’m slowly running out of Mermaid You Look 😭 and I hope this set makes it into a throwback release soon 🤞🏼

I rarely use hostess-exclusive sets since I don’t like using a set that most people won’t be able to get their hands on, but now that they’re available in the Color Play shop, this is my second hostess-set mani in a row!
If you’re a Color Play subscription box member, you get access to a special collection of shades, including past subscription boxes and hostess sets. It’s amazing!
Both Spring Sunrise and Terrace for Two are available in the shop!

First spring mani 🌺 Not my usual, as I am not a fan of floral anything (and this won’t last long), but I did love the way Spring to Life complimented Magic Hour so I ran with it.

Slowly working my way into Valentine’s Season 🤍

I came across this design via Pinterest awhile back & for me, it’s just a bit too early for the full on red & pink stuff, so I knew it was time.

A little context on why I cut a heart from an overlay instead of just doing a hole punch from one of the million sets of Midnight in Manhattan I own…my lovely daughter took my mini heart punch and now she can’t find it in the mess she calls a bedroom 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄. And let’s face it, I’m not talented enough to cut one freehand.

Also polka dots have been flooding my IG lately so maybe I’m on trend…finally 💁🏻‍♀️
