31DC2014 Day 28: Inspired by a Flag

Hi everyone,
So for today's theme inspired by a flag I decided to represent 4 different countries on my nails, all of which mean something to me.

I used Fing'rs Heart 2 Art The Boys in Blue, La Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in White, Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Real Red, NYC High Line Green, Nails Inc Atomic, Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Avon Nailwear Pro + Licorice, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Yellow

The Lacquer Legion: On Holiday

Hi everyone,

So it's the end of the month which means one thing - Lacquer Legion time! This months theme is On Holiday. I decided to do something different instead of beaches and sunsets.

Here's my design:

Simple Gradient

Hi everyone,

So today's design is something I've been wanting to do for such a long time, but have only just got round to trying out. I really like the look of gradients with a layer of glitter on top, so I decided to have a go at doing one myself.
Here's what I came up with:

I used Max Factor Mini Cool Jade, Maybelline Color Show Urban Turquoise, Fingr's Heart 2 Art The Boys in Blue and Technic Treasure Chest (Gold glitter)

Simple Stud Hearts

Hi everyone,

So today I thought I'd show you a simple design for Valentines Day. I know usually Valentines Day is all pink and red, but I thought I'd do slightly different design for those of you, who like me, don't really celebrate it.

Here's my design:

I used Fingr's Heart 2 Art Peri - Wink Wink, and NPW heart nail art studs. 

To attach the studs I used my new rhinestone picker from the Born Pretty Store (see my full review here).

Purple Feathers

Hi everyone,

Before I talk about today's design I wanted to find out your thoughts on something I've added to my blog layout. I have added a feature on the side bar called "search by colour" so if you are looking for a particular coloured nail art you can easily find it. 

What do you think about it? Do you think I should keep it or get rid of it? (Also, the colour labels I have used for it are temporary, they will be changed hopefully by the end of this week.)

Anyway onto the nail art!  As you probably know I love purple polishes. For this design I wanted to combine two purple polishes in my collection and use my nail LA Colors nail stripers. I wanted something simple which would show off both colours really well.

Here's what I came up with:

I used Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Peri - Wink, Wink, Sinful Colors Amethyst, Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish Your Majesty, LA Colors Art Deco Striper in Black and LA Colors Art Deco Striper in Purple/Blue Glitter.

Tribal Pop Art (Part 3)

Hi everyone,

So those of you who read Peace, Love and Polish will probably know that Heather chose me as her Featured Blogger. (Read the post here). I was so shocked when Heather contacted me about this, it was so unexpected!

Heather asked me to create a design for her post, so I decided to do another design similar to the tribal pop art ones I have done before.

You can see my previous designs here and here.

Here is my design:

I used Rimmel Lycra Pro Aqua Cool, Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Little White Lie, Barry M Nail Art Pen in Black and Barry M Nail Art Pen in White.

Christmas Skittle

Hi everyone,

It's 2 day's 'till Christmas! I'm so excited!

Anyway, today I'm going to show you the nails I will be wearing for Christmas day. I have so many different designs in mind, but in the end I decided to do a skittle mani - that way I can combine lots of different ideas! This is my first skittle mani, and I have to say I really like the idea of it!

Here's my design:

On my thumb I did a Christmas tree.

As you can probably tell, I used lots of different nail polishes to create this. 

Snowman Nails Tutorial

Hi everyone,

Today I decided to do a tutorial for the Snowman Nails I created on Tuesday (you can see the post here).

Snowman Nails!

Hi everyone,

I've been wanting to change my banner for a while now but was never satisfied with the designs I came up with, but I finally managed to find a design I liked. What do you think? - Or do you prefer my old banner?

Anyway, today I thought I'd show you some more Christmas Nails. The nearer it gets to Christmas, the more excited I get!

I decided to create some snowman nails, here's what I came up with:

I used Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Little White Lie, No7 Striper in Black, No7 Striper in Silver, Nails Inc Atomic and Barry M Nail Art Pen in Black.

I also used an unknown polish, which had little tiny silver glitter particles, which I used to create a glitter background.

Tribal Pop Art (Part 2)

Hi everyone,

After doing the tutorials for my blogaversary I was inspired by the Tribal Pop Art Design (You can see the tutorial here). I decided  to give the design a little twist, here's what I came up with:

I used Barry M Gelly Pomegranate, Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Little White Lie, Barry M Nail Art Pen in White and Barry M Nail Art Pen in Black.

Slime Nails Tutorial

Hi everyone,

Happy Halloween!

To I thought I'd show you how I created the nails I showed you earlier today for Halloween. I think these nails are a really simple way to get into the Halloween spirit and are really versatile - instead of green nail polish, you could use red to make it look like blood is dripping down your nails!

You can see the original post here.

Halloween Nails!

Hi everyone,

Happy Halloween!

So for halloween this year I decided to try and do drippy nails which look like slime.

Here's my design:

I used Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Meet Me In The Green Room

Metallic Spot Gradient

Hi everyone,

It's getting colder now here in England so I decided to use a metallic nail polish today as they remind of winter for some reason! I wanted to used my new Barry M Gelly polish in this design, and so decided to add spots to the metallic polish. Here's what I came up with:

I used No7 Damson Dream, Barry M Gelly Guava and Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Little White Lie

I'm Back!

Hi everyone,

I'm back! I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, but last weekend was my cousins wedding and you may (or not) know this, but Indian weddings are usually pretty hectic and consist of 4/5 different events. Therefore there wasn't much time to post any nail art.

We had a lot of family come from overseas, which was nice and the wedding was amazing!

For the wedding I did my own nails. Indian Weddings typically have 4/5 events, and somehow I managed to find time to change my nails for every event and do other peoples nails too!

Over the next few weeks I have decided to show you the designs I did on my nails for my cousins wedding!

Today I thought I'd start off by showing you a design I did on my Auntie:

I used Models Own Purple Pearl, Revlon Gold Coin and Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Little White Lie

Royal Baby Nails!

Hi everyone,

So I'm sure you all know the Royal Baby was born yesterday and it's a little baby boy!

I decided to do some nail art for the occasion, here's what I came up with:

I used Barry M Blueberry, Fing'rs Heart 2 Art in The Boys in Blue, Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Real Red, Models Own Nail Art Pen in White, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Blue and Models Own Nail Art Pen in Gold.

My Haul

Hi everyone,

Today I thought I'd show you some of the nail polishes I bought recently.
