Easter Bunny Nails

Hi everyone,
So as it's Easter weekend I decided to some themed nails for the occasion! Today was actually the first time I've sat and done nail art for a while now, and it's been really nice. It's made me realise that I need to take time out from everyday life and do something for me - paint my nails! I've been missing creativity in my life for the past few weeks/months so by creating this design I could feel the creativeness inside me wanted to come out!

Anyway, for this design I decided to focus on one specific character: the Easter bunny! - I decided to have it as a sort of accent nail peeking through!
Here's my design:

I used Models Own Top Turquoise, Barry M Nail Art Pen in White, Max Factor Diva Violet, Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Rimmel London Lycra Pro Aqua Cool, Models Own Strawberry Tart

Little Flowers

Hi everyone,
So for today's design I decided to step into Spring a little and do a flower design! I recently picked up the colour most stunning burgundy colour (No7 Gel Look Shine in Deep Wine) with my No7 voucher and knew I wanted to use it as a base for some nail art! When my friend suggested adding flowers, I knew I didn't want to go for a typical flower design, instead I opted for a sort of gradient, which worked well (I think!).
Here's my design:

I used No7 Gel-Look Shine in Deep Wine, Sinful Colors Snow Me White and Revlon Gold Coin

31DC2014 Day 14: Flowers

Hi everyone,

So today's theme is flowers. There are so many different flower designs out there that it was so hard for me to decided what design I wanted to do! In the end I decided to use a dotting tool to create a simplistic flower design as I usually go for more complicated designs.

Here's what I came up with:

I used Models Own HyperGel Purple Glare, Barry M Matt White and No7 Galaxy

Born Pretty Store Red Flower decals review

*This item was provided for review

Hi everyone,

Today I've got a review of some water decals* from the Born Pretty Store to show you. When these decals first arrived I had no idea what design to do with them, so I decided to keep it simple and I ended up loving the results!

Here's my design:

Born Pretty Store Nail Decals review

*This item was provided for review

Hi everyone,
So first of all I'm back! I actually got back from my holiday last week, but I just haven't had a chance to post anything! It was actually A level results day last Thursday for me and I'm going to University! I was lucky enough to get into my first choice for the course I want to do! Over the next few weeks I'll be doing lots of packing and trying to figure out which nail polishes to take with me to University (it's a lot harder to decide than you think!).

Anyway, today I thought I'd share with you a review of some nail decals* from the Born Pretty Store. As soon as these decals arrived I knew I had to use them - they are just so pretty!

These lovely decals are item number 15583 (DLS-193) and you can view them here.

Here is the design I created using the decals:

Polish Party: Spring

Hi everyone,

So this months Polish Party theme is Spring. Spring always reminds me of when I was in Primary School. My and my friends would always sit on the grass and make Daisy Chain bracelet's for each other, so I'd thought I'd incorporate daisies into my design. 

A couple of days ago I was contacted by Julep and asked to take part in their Spring Nail Art Contest! Julep has so many gorgeous nail polishes to choose from (see them here)! I've decided to put this design forward for the competition, however I wasn't able to use any Julep nail polishes because sadly they don't ship to the UK (fingers crossed they do soon though!).

This is also my entry for NailPolis' Spring Nail Art contest. If you like the design please vote for me here

 Here's what I came up with:

I used Rimmel Lycra Pro Aqua Cool, NYC High Line Green, Barry M Matt White and Models Own Nail Art Pen in Yellow

Delicate Flowers

Hi everyone,

So as part of my Blogging resolutions, I said I was going do more nail art on metallic bases. For this design I used my favourite metallic nail polish: Models Own Purple Pearl. It's the perfect purple and it's so shiny!

For my design, I followed this tutorial from AJ at Nail Lacquer UK. As soon as she put this tutorial up I knew that I had to try it. If you haven't heard of AJ she is a British Blogger who creates the most amazing nail art! Her freehand is so detailed and she also makes her own indie nail polishes which are available on her Esty Shop .

Here's is my design:

I used Models Own Purple Pearl, Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream, LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in White, LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in Black and LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper in Teal Glitter

Rose Nails Tutorial

Hi everyone,

For my first tutorial I am going to show you how to create Rose Nails. (Read the post here).

These nails were really easy to do and I didn't use any specific nail art tools, so these are a great design to try out if you do not own any nail art tools.

Wedding Day Nails

Hi everyone,

So today, we have the nails I did for my cousins actual wedding day. I think these nails are my favourite out of all of the ones I did, here they are:

I used Rimmel Brit Manicure Nail Tip Colour in Porcelain, Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Licorice, Rimmel I Heart Lasting Finish in Your Majesty and  Salon Perfect Nail Art Striper in Purple.

Little Pink Flowers

Hi everyone,

Today I thought I'd show you another design I did for my cousins wedding.

I used Rimmel Brit Manicure Nail Tip Colour in Porcelain, Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Licorice, No7 Jammy and Revlon Gold Coin.

Purple Roses

Hi everyone,

So after seeing lots of rose nails on tumblr and various blogs I decided to have a go myself! Instead of pink roses, I decided to do purple roses. Here's my design:

I used Max Factor Diva Violet, No7 Foxglove, NYC High Line Green and Models Own Grape Juice.

Prom Nails

Hi everyone,

So last week one of my best friends, Emily, went to her boyfriend's Prom, and asked me to do her nails for it. Here's what I came up with:

I used Rimmel Brit Manicure Nail Tip Colour in White, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black, Revlon Gold Coin and a unnamed navy colour.

This was a great opportunity for me to practice my french manicure skills, and I think it went pretty well. It also gave me a chance to use my new nail art jewels! They were really easy to apply, but I would recommend using tweezers to position them as it is a bit finicky.

What do you think?

French Manicure with Flowers

Hi everyone,

First of all sorry for the boring post title - I wasn't sure what to call this design! If you have any suggestions please let me know in the comments.

So, last weekend I went a wedding and so obviously I decided to match my nails to my outfit! My outfit was a pink sari with gold embroidery, so I came up with this design:

I used Rimmel Brit Manicure Nail Tip Colour in Porcelain, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black, No7 Jammy and Revlon Gold Coin.

Pretty Little Flowers

Hi everyone,

Today I thought I'd take a break from creme nail polishes and go back to metallic nail polish!

When I was little I never had creme nail polish, I always had metallic colours, it was only when I got into nail art that I started to use creme polish!

For my design today I decided to do little flowers on the side, so that I could see more of the metallic colour. The flowers are similar to the ones I did on my french manicure design before. (See the post here).

I used Models Own Purple Pearl, Max Factor max colour effects mini Fantasy Fire, No7 Nail Art Pen in  Black and No7 Nail Art Pen in Silver.

Flowers

Hi everyone, 

So today I decided to do a simple design using a nail art pen.

I used Max Factor max colour effects mini diva violet, No7 Vivid Violet, N07 Totally Teal, No7 Sing the Blues, No7 Damson Dream, No7 Hot to Trot and Models Own Nail Art Pen in White.
