Flower Power Nails

If you noticed on my Instagram this week, [if you didn't, follow me @mashasmumbles ;)] I've been dabbling with some nail art. So, here is a nail art design that is easy to do and even if you don't have a steady hand, it'll still look decent! I went with a nude base and neon flowers because I think it's perfect for the summer. You can of course choose whichever colors you like! I used 'Bare Bones' as the base, 'I'm Wired' as the stamen of the flowers, and 'Slime' as the petals. Don't forget to let your nails dry a bit between each step unless you want to end up with a bit of a mess. Let me know if you have any questions and if you like this style of post!

Little Notes // 2

I have been a busy bee today! The day begun with a couple hours exploring Stanford University's campus and ended with a salted caramel cupcake from Sprinkles. My family often visits Stanford when we are in California because of its beautiful campus that includes a spacious plaza and the Hoover Tower. We actually climbed to the summit of the tower and were able to see the San Francisco skyline in the distance. After lunch, we went to a huge shopping center that was nearby and I was a bit naughty at Mac and Urban Outfitters. I was actually able to score a dress that was originally $90 for only $5! Can you tell I'm proud of myself? For dinner, we went to a small sushi restaurant and I went a little crazy with my camera. I ordered a bento box because there is something I like about having my food displayed in small compartments. I guess I'm odd. For dessert I had a cupcake which is quite unusual for me because I am not a fan of cupcakes. It was actually pretty good. Now, I am catching up on the latest season of 'Game of Thrones'. Lovely day all in all. How was yours?
