Easter Nails

Standard

Hey guys…
Seeing as Easter is coming soon I thought I’d get a head start with some Easter nails =]
I could have done the chicks or bunny nails but I decided to stick with an Easter egg design. It reminds me of an Aztec design =\ but guess the pastel colors make it look more eastery..?

To achieve this look I decided to use the non water marble effect. I actually remembered to do a mini step by step tutorial =]

Step One:

20140227-192955.jpg
Add a base coat. I used L.A Colors nail harderner as a base coat to keep my nails strong!

Step Two:

Get three colors of your choice and dab a good amount of polish on the nail. The thicker the nail polish the better as there won’t be any gaps. You can use a white base coat if you like to make the colors pop. I decided not to this time as these nail polishes are pretty thick.

Step Three:

Take the largest dotting tool you have and start dabbing the polish until the whole nail is covered. Make sure you blend in the 3 colors. It doesn’t have to be neat.

Add a clear top coat once it’s dried and you’re done! =]
Or you can add a pattern on top like I did.
Hope you like =]

Zebra Nails or Some sort of Animal Print

Standard

Hey guys…
In my last post I did a marble nail art. Well sort of marble nails. I’ve seen a lot of YouTube videos on this and they all involve water. I decided to try it without.
Although you don’t get the nice, pretty patterns that the water creates… It still come out with a pretty pattern =p

This time, I decided to use bold colors to see if they mixed well. And I think they do =]
I added a few lines which I intended for it to look like a tiger design but I think they look more like zebra…?

That’s the fun part of nail art. U create something different all the time =]
Hope you guys like!

Flowers or Butterflies… I Think Flowers

Standard

Hey guys…
I’ve seen this design a lot on Instagram and people always tag it as a butterfly design but my eyes see them as flower design. So I decided to try it out for myself =]

20140223-191843.jpg

After taking a few minutes to analyse my nails after it dried. I still see a flower instead of butterfly wings. I compared it to the other designs and realised I missed out a line =p oops!
Never mind, I guess I made it look more like a flower now…
Hope you guys like =]

Leopard Print & Gold Gems

Standard

So I did nail art on one hand last night, I looked down at my other hand and it looked so plain. I had to do something to it! I’m right handed so I do all my nail art on my left hand. I find it harder to do nail art on my right hand as my left hand is always shaky :/ so I tend to do easy and simple designs like dots and leopard print. That’s exactly what I did =]

20140222-112911.jpg

Again I used a matte dark red by Barry M but I think gloss looks better. Hmmm that’s just my opinion. I might do a matte nail design one of these days =] I used a gold color I got in a pack of nail polishes and added some gold gems to match my left hand a bit =p
Hope you like =]

Sophisticated but Fun Nails

Standard

Hey guys….
So I’m back home for the weekend and got all my nail tools with me =D
I’m knackered from this week at work but that wouldn’t stop me from doing any nail art =p

20140221-214626.jpg

In my last post I mentioned buying different shades of blue nail polishes. I absolutely love this shade of blue so decided to use it again!
This time I added a caramel matte polish by BarryM. I decided to add a top gloss coat to it though because I thought it looked better. Also added a few gold gems to make the nails stand out a bit.

I’m happy with the outcome of this nail design and hope you guys like it too! =]

Shades of Blue

Standard

Hey guys…
I haven’t done any nail art recently as I’m not at home and all my tools are there =[
But I couldn’t resist and had to buy a couple nail polishes today. I saw a pack of 4 different blue shades of nail polishes in Primark today and thought hmmm this must join my collection =p it was only £2 so even better!

20140219-184555.jpg

I had to file down my nails a bit as they were getting a bit too out of shape. I tried to do it square but it’s in between square and squoval at the mo… Never mind =]
I love these 2 shades of blue and had to try both out.
Hope you like =]

King & Queen Nails

Standard

Hey guys, before I post my latest nail design…

I’m gonna have a little vent about wordpress.  Before this post, I wrote about my natural nails and what I’m using to look after it. (Oh by the way, I have my natural nails back =o)…Wordpress is not letting me upload my post =[ this message comes up
” error ocurred cannot serialize null”
It’s happened twice now, I think it may have something to do with my tablet becuase I can still upload on my PC :/
Anyone else having this problem on their tablet?

If you guys can help me figure this out I’d appriciate it as it took me ages to write that post and I would like to share it with you guys =]

On a brighter note, here’s my King & Queen nail design…

I used a pink and purple NYC nail polish along with a lilac L.A Colors nail polish. I then added some king and queen crown nail stickers. I kept the design simple but stylish =]

Hope you guys like! ^_^

Valentine Nails

Standard

Hey guys… seeing as Valentine’s day is coming up (that dreaded day or wonderful day depending on how you feel about it =/ ) well, I decided to do a couple of Valentine’s designs.

With the first design, I decided to combine stripes and dots having pink as the primary color. I guess pink is a Valentine’s color…?
But then I thought I’d do another design using red as the primary color this time as I know red is definitely a Valentine’s color. Although I guess you could use any color really…hmmm gives me an idea =]
(By the way, please excuse my thumb, it’s a little bit dry, I know)
I had some fimo canes laying around which I bought last year. Never really used them before so decided to put them to good use =p

Well these are the outcome of my Valentine’s nails. Hope you like =]
