Geometric Gradient

Hi everyone, 

So for today's design I decided to use my newest HyperGel, Blue Glint! - I just can't get enough of the HyperGels at the moment! The HyperGels are actually really good to create gradients with, so with that in mind I decided to create some all Models Own nail art!

Here's what I came up with:

I used Models Own HyperGel Turquoise Gloss, Models Own HyperGel Blue Glint, Models Own HyperGel Purple Glare and Models Own Nail Art Pen in White

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 11: Polka Dots

Hi everyone,

So for day 11 the theme is polka dots. I decided to try a white base for polka dots instead of another colour as white is normally the colour of most polka dot nails! I also decided to add a sort of ombre effect to the design too. 
Here's what I came up with:

I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Models Own Grape Juice, Maybelline Color Show Iced Queen, Models Own HyperGel Purple Glare and Sinful Colors Amethyst

Polish Party: Recreaction

Hi everyone,

So today's polish party theme is very exciting: Recreating the first design we ever published on our blogs! I've only been blogging for a year and a half but looking back at the photo of my first design I cannot believe how far I have come! This was the first design I ever created, I had somehow stumbled across WAH Nails and fell in love with their POW nails. I went out and bought a Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black and created this design. I was so happy with the outcome! Here's the design:

And here is my recreation:

Geometric Mix & Match

Hi everyone,

So today I thought I'd show some nails I wore for an interview a few weeks ago. 
I was so excited for this interview - I couldn't believe my luck! But when I sat down to create a design I had some sort of mental block! I hadn't painted my nails for so long so I guess all creative thoughts had vanished whilst I was revising! I eventually came up with this design. I have to be honest, at first I didn't like it, I even emailed the girls from Dahlia Nails to ask their opinion! 
Sadly I didn't get the job, but the more I wore the design, the more I liked it! It gave me a chance to experiment, and I'm happy with the end result. Those of you who follow me on instagram have probably seen a little preview of this design already! 
Anyway, enough about me, here's the design:

I used Models Own Grape Juice, Models Own Blueberry Muffin, Models Own Apple Juice, Models Own Banger, Models Own Roman Candle, Models Own Rocket, Models Own Catherine Wheel and Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black. 

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.

Polka Dots

Hi everyone,

 As you know I love purple nail polishes, so when I saw swatches of MUA Frozen Yoghurt on various blogs I knew I had to have it! Sadly they stopped selling MUA at my local Superdrug, so I wasn't able to buy it. I am currently trying not to buy any new polishes, so I thought it was a good thing they stopped selling it. But last week I walked into my local Superdrug and the MUA stand appeared again! I decided I couldn't wait any longer and bought the nail polish! 

As soon as I saw this nail polish I knew exactly what design I wanted to do, here is is:

I used MUA Frozen Yoghurt and Barry M Matt White.

Newspaper Nails with a twist

Hi everyone,

Today's nail art is inspired by a mug I received for my 16th Birthday last year.

I've been wanting to do this design for a while now, but have only just got round to it!

I really liked the design, and thought the design inside the "16" would look good as a nail art design. So I simplified it and turned it into this:

Polka Dots

Hi, today I decided to do some simple nail art and just put polka dots all over my nails.

I used Max Factor Cool Jade, Barry M Blueberry "ice cream" , Nails inc Elizabeth Street, Max Factor Diva Violet , Barry M Coral and NYC Little Italy.

I thought the colours worked well together, and it was simple to do, so i'll definitely do this again!

:)
