It's time for another Kickass Manicures of the Month- where did the time go?!

As always, I had waaaay too much awesome nail art to choose from! It's a little excruciating narrowing down to just five, but here they are in no particular order:




Minnie from Nailbees puts out incredible nail art constantly, but I particularly loved these Cockatoo-inspired nails! Just look how wonderful and detailed the hand-drawn birdie is on the thumb! I love the skittlette too, and the gradients are awesome!  PS: there's also a step-by-step on her blog for this design, so check it out!




I loved these nails from Lexa of Glitterfingersss as soon as I saw them on IG! They are part of the 'Flower Power' Picture Polish Nail Art Quarterly challenge, and my favorite I've seen so far! I just love how bold the black outlines are and how graphic the flowers become with just two bright colors emphasized!




Traci of Newsie Nail Novice has created one of my favorite colorful, seamless gradients I've seen in a long time with this manicure...and then topped it with perfect bold, black stamping! Oh yes, and the beautiful shimmery holo topper Yeti the Stone Warrior from Elevation Polish layered in between! Love!




I love graphic patterned nails, and this ikat design from Lisa of fits that category to a T! I just love her color choices and consistency between nails! I would totally rock these nails any day, and it makes me want to try ikat again!




PiggieLuv's nail art is always pretty jaw-dropping and inspiring, but I particularly adored these rainbow vertical gradient nails with a soft, overlaid watermarble! It's like pattern-on-pattern but it's cohesive and non-clashing! The translucent watermarble is so perfect over top of all the glittery bling! Plus they glow! This manicure basically has everything!



That's it! Don't forget to follow the links back to give these nail art creators some love!
