Stained Glass half moons

Hi everyone,

So first of all sorry for the lack of posts last week. Last week was actually my Birthday and with it being my first Birthday at University I spent it with my friends and it was very hectic to say the least! Last week was actually quite a weird week for me, I wasn't feeling that well and I just generally didn't feel that good in myself - I didn't even paint my nails for my Birthday! But anyway I'm back on track now (fingers crossed)!

For today's post I decided to use Models Own Top Turquoise, a polish that's been on my list for a while now and one I often see on Emma & Jo's blog - Dahlia Nails!

I used Models Own Top Turquoise, Models Own Nail Art Pen in White, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black and LA Colors Art Deco in Teal Glitter

A little bit spotty

Hi everyone,

So today's nail art is pretty simplistic, but it makes a nice change from a full polka dot design. 

Here's what I came up with:

I used Models Own HyperGel Sundress, Models Own HyperGel Blue Glint and Models Own Nail Art Pen in White

31DC2014 Day 16: Geometric

Hi everyone,
So for today's nail art the theme is geometric. Personally I really like geometric nail art however for some reason I struggled to come up with a design for this prompt. In the end I did manage to come up with a design using my Barry m nail art pens which I usually use for this style of nail art.

I used No7 Stand Back, Barry M Nail Art Pen in Black and Barry M Nail Art Pen in White

Polish Party: Splatter Nails

Hi everyone,
So today I thought I'd show you the design I created for this months Polish Party theme - splatter. I have to be honest with you, when I first saw this theme I wasn't going to participate. Every time I try to do splatter nails they always fail, but this time I thought I'd give them a try, but do something slightly different.
Here's what I came up with:

I used Maybelline Color Show Iced Queen, Max Factor Cool Jade and Barry M Nail Art Pen in White

White Tribal Pop Art

Hi everyone,

Today is my last day in Sixth Form! (Sixth Form is basically college and you go their to study A-Levels.) Anyway, because it's my last day I knew I couldn't leave Sixth Form without some nail art on my nails. So, I took a break from revision, paired 2 of my favourite colours and came up with another design from the Tribal Pop Art Series (click here to see my other designs from the series) 

Here's my design:

I used Barry M Gelly Guava, Barry M Gelly Pomegranate, Barry M Matt White and Barry M Nail Art Pen in White.

Mermaid Scale Nails

Hi everyone, 

So after wearing Barry M Pacific (see swatches here) on my nails for a couple of days I knew I wanted to try out some nail art with it. I immediately had the idea of mermaid scales because the colour reminded me of the sea and the scale design on the nail polish bottle cap!

Here's a look at the design:

I used Barry M Pacific and Barry M Nail Art Pen in White

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.

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.

Red Leopard Print

Hi everyone,
You may or may not have noticed, but over the weekend I created an instagram for my blog!
You can view the page here. Please follow it, if you want! :)

Anyway, onto the nails!
Today's design is inspired by fashion. In the majority of the magazines I have been reading I have seen a lot of leopard print clothes. In one magazine I saw a really nice metallic red leopard print top, as soon as I saw it, I knew it would make a nice design for my nails.

Here it is:

I used No7 Salsa, Revlon Gold Coin and Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black

Geometric Triangles

Hi everyone,

Today I decided to use the newest nail polish in my collection: Barry M Gelly Guava. This nail polish was released in the summer and I have to say it is such a pretty colour!

I've had this design floating around for a while now, but I finally decided to try it our today.

 Here it is:

I used Barry M Gelly Guava, Barry M Nail Art Pen in Black and Barry M Nail Art Pen in White.

Triangle Nail Tutorial

Hi everyone,

Today's tutorial is for a design I did way back in February. By looking at the original post I can see that I have made improvement in my nail art and (hopefully) for the better!

You can see the post here.

Sky Scene Nails Tutorial

Hi everyone,

Today's tutorial is for the sky scene nails I created in the summer.

I really liked these nails and thought they turned out well.

You can see the original post here.

Tribal Pop Art Tutorial

Hi everyone,

So today I'm going to show you a tutorial which was requested by Stef from Fairly Charming , Jasmine from The Happy Sloths and Ela from Pretty Little Nails. Stef also came up with a name for this design: "Tribal Pop Art". I love this name - I agree with Stef it definitely sums up this design.

These nails were a big goalpost for me, as this design was my first design to get the official Tumblr "nail art" tag. You can see the original post here.

Mini Toes!

Hi everyone,

Today I thought I'd show you a design I did on my cousins toes!

For her nails she wanted smiley faces.

I used Max Factor Mini Cool Jade, No7 Vivid Violet, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Yellow and Models Own Nail Art Pen in Pink.

This design was actually a lot easier to do than I thought and I really like the outcome.

Do you like this design?

Let me know what you think.

Random Doodles

Hi everyone,

Whenever I'm bored, on the phone or just have a piece of paper and a pen within reach I doodle. So today I decided to use this for my nail art, and literally just picked um my Barry M Nail Art Pen and doodled. Here's what I came up with:

I used Nails Inc Elizabeth Street, 17 Miami, Barry M Gelly Pomegranate and Barry M Nail Art Pen in Black

The WAH Nails Book of Downtown Girls Review + Nail Art

*This book was purchase by me

Hi everyone,

So today I thought I'd review the new WAH Nails nail art book! As soon as I saw Sharmadean Reid was releasing another Nail Art Book I immediately pre-ordered it! I was so excited!

WAH Nails is a salon based in London which was founded by Sharmadean Reid. Her first nail art book "The WAH Nails Book of Nail Art" was released last year and was a huge success.

The second book is slightly different, with new designs, style advice and interviews with nail technicians! It also gives advice on how to be a successful blogger and teaches you how to make 3D shapes for your nails.
