Nail art inspiration!!

La nature a parfois un peu merdé avec moi à la naissance, mais un point sur lequel je ne peux vraiment pas me plaindre, ce sont mes ongles. Oui je sais, moi aussi j'aurais préféré avoir des ongles minables et ressembler à Eva Mendes par exemple mais bon, à défaut... c'est toujours cool d'avoir de beaux ongles longs et costauds sans rien faire.
Mais arrive quand même un jour où pof, l'accident bête, et y'en a UN et un seul qui casse à ras et qui oblige à tout couper. Bon ben c'est ce qui m'est arrivé jeudi soir, rencontre musclée entre un pack de lait et mon majeur, le pack de lait à gagné... Donc me voilà avec des ongles tout courts, snifouille, pour me consoler je les ai vernis en rouge pompier - je ne supporte cette couleur que sur des ongles méga courts, ça tombe bien.
Mais je me disais que quand même, je m'essaierai bien à du nail art sur de faux ongles pour apporter un peu de fun dans ma life pendant la période de transition. Peut être pas trooop de fun non plus, je sais pas trop comment ils vont apprécier la fantaisie ongulaire à mon boulot en fait...

I'm a lucky girl: my nails are strong, and i can grow them long and beautiful without taking real care of them. But... always happens a point i break one of them, usually in a very stupid way, and then i've got to cut all of them. That sucks, but that's the only option.
Well, i'm at that sad point of my nails' life cycle: on Thursday night i broke one with a pack of milk (when i told you it was always happening in stupid ways...), so after mourning for my beloved nails for a few minutes, i took a pair of scissors, a file, and sacrificed the remaining ones - then painted them bright red, just as a revenge! I love bright red polish, but ONLY on short nails.
So, even though i usually don't wear fake nails, i was thinking that maybe, during that transition period while my nails are no longer short, not yet long, i could have some fun times with cool & crazy nail art. Still wondering about the "crazy" part of my plan however, don't know how they would welcome that wild side of mine at the office...

J'avais depuis quelques temps repéré des exemples de nail-art qui me plaisaient sur différents blogs "gyarus" et autres... voilà quelques-uns de mes favoris, only for your eyes!!
For some time i have been "collecting" my favorite nail art pix from gyaru blogs i'm following, here are some of them for you to enjoy, and to appreciate the skills of those talented girls!!

Vivi from Cupcake Couture nail arts are original, aesthetic, and with such a polished style, like this simple but dazzling polka-dot design and those amazing black-purple 3D nails!!

I can't read japanese, but according to what i understood, Makalii is a nail artist based in Tokyo. Her blog is full of nail art, start browsing her pix and you'll quickly find yourself totally hooked! My fave are those charming coral tips, and even though i would be too shy to pick those checkered nails or those freestyle bling ones, i won't deny i find them just striking!

Charm&co is in japanese as well, so i'm not sure i understood correctly but, seems like it is the blog of a beauty parlor or a spa... they show some nail arts from time to time, and i specially love those sunset colored nails, simple and charming, and those red, white and sparkly ones.
