Lasercut Gradient

Hi everyone,

So for today's nail art I decided to revisit striping tape. A lot of bloggers actually find striping tape annoying to use but I actually quite like it - there's something quite exciting about peeling off the tape to reveal the design you've created! The only downside is that it is time consuming, but once you get over that you can achieve some stunning results!

I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Models Own HyperGel Turquoise Gloss and Models Own HyperGel Blue Glint

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

Mani swap

Hi everyone,

So today we have something new on my blog today! - my first ever Mani swap! Out of all the bloggers I know, I'm so happy to say my first ever mani swap is with Robin from Roaring Nails. Robin has become a great blogging friend over the past couple of months. She creates wonderful designs, provides honest product reviews and always comments on my blog too! (something which I have been slacking on lately - sorry!)

I chose this design by Robin, which was actually based on a pair of socks! I love this about Robin - she get's inspiration from anywhere, which is perfectly shown by the design I chose! I also love that it mixes geometric, monochrome and purple into one design, as I love all 3!

I used No7 Foxglove, Sinful Colors Snow Me White and Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black

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

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

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

Hi everyone,
So today I have the last part of the Mint London nail polishes I was sent to review. These are the two are the glitter toppers which I received.

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

Half Tribal Pop Art

Hi everyone,

It's the 1st of December! I cannot believe how quick this year has gone! Anyway so with it being December I'm sure you'd expect there to be some festive nail art on the blog, but you might have to wait a little longer for that! Sadly today's design isn't festive, but the next nail art post I do will be! - I already have lots of ideas floating around for Christmas nail art!

Anyway so for today's design I decided to revisit my tribal pop art nails, as I haven't done those in a while.

This time I decided to do a sort of half and half design, here's what I came up with:

I used Maybelline Color Show Urban Turquoise, Sinful Colors Snow Me White and Avon Naillwear Pro+ in Licorice

Lacquer Legion - Yummy

Hi everyone,

So today I'm taking part in this months Lacquer Legion Challenge. It's been a while since I've taken part in the Lacquer Legion, things have just got on top of me and I've been very unorganised to say the least.

Anyway so this months theme is Yummy, and for this design the first thing that came into my mind was dessert, but instead I decided to go for something different!

Reverse Ombré Leopard Print

Hi everyone,
So for today's design I was inspired by the talented Sarah from My Mint Nails. Sarah actually did this design back in July and as soon as I saw it I put it on my list of nail designs to recreate! The design I'm talking about is a sort of reverse leopard with a gradient, which Sarah did with a summery pink/orange gradient, which you can see here. I decided to go for a cold colour scheme since were are coming up to winter now. 
Here's my design:

I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Models Own Apple Pie, Models Own HyperGel Turquoise Gloss, Rimmel Salon Pro Britpop and Avon Nailwear Pro in Licorice

31DC2014 Day 18: Half Moons

Hi everyone,

I used Maybelline Color Show Urban Turquoise and LA Colors Art Deco Nail Striper 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

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

31DC2014 Day 13: Animal Print

Hi everyone,
So for today's design the theme is Animal Print. I decided to go for the classic tiger print, however I decided to mix it up by adding a gradient.

31DC2014 Day 7: Black & White

Hi everyone,

Born Pretty Store Music Decals review

*This product was provided for review

Hi everyone,

Here is the design I created:

The Perfect White Nail Polish

Hi everyone,

So I'm still on my holiday - only a few days left and I'll be back! (Fingers crossed this has posted!)

For today's post I thought I'd share with you something I've only just discovered - the perfect white nail polish! As nail art lovers I'm sure you all know the struggle with finding a white nail polish which doesn't take 3-4 coats and is opaque within 1 at the most 2. White is one of the most frequently used nail polishes for nail art, so when I found one which was budget friendly (£1.99) I couldn't believe it!

The nail polish I'm talking about is Sinful Colors Snow Me White!

Blue swirls

Hi everyone,
So I'm currently on my summer holiday so I'm hoping (fingers crossed!) that this post has published! Today's nails don't really have a format- they are just really random, I didn't have a final outcome in mind ! I'm not quite sure what this design is but I  do like the colour combination!
Here's the design:

I used No7 Night Silver, Ciate Ferris Wheel and Barry M Nail Art Pen in White.

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:  

You can read the original post here.

And here is my recreation:
