NailArtWeeklyProject

Hi everyone!

So this is my take on week 2 of the NailArtWeeklyProject where the theme was tv/film.

It took me a little while to choose what to do for this one as there are loads of films I really like. In the end I went for a childhood favourite 101 Dalmatians.

Here is what I did:

My index finger is the title of the film, my middle finger represents the puppy called lucky (with the horse shoe pattern in his spots) my ring finger is another of the puppies faces and my pinky is just spotty.

I am quite happy with how these turned out.

Here is what I used:

I am totally loving the new models own hyper gels they go on so smoothly.

Let me know what you think.

I hope you enjoyed these as much as I enjoyed creating them.

Thanks

NailArtWeeklyProject

Hi all

So I am very excited to be involved in this new project set up by Danniannie where she sets a new theme each week. #NailArtWeeklyProject

The first week is an item of clothing.

I decided to go with something quite simple (as my first plan didn't work out)
Here is what I choose to do, my fav pj's

By the time I did this my brand new models own hyper gels had arrived and two of the colours were perfect for this.

So here is what I did:

To do the hearts I used a dotting tool and dragged diagonally.

I don't particularly love this mani and promise to do better this week but I was really pushed for time.

Here is a pic of them both together:

Thanks for looking I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Polish Party January: January blues

Hi all, i have had very little time recently to do my nails which really makes me sad. However things seem to be slowing down a little so I am hoping to get back on 

So its that time of the month again Polish Party.This month the theme was January blues which pretty much left us open to do anything.

I decided to try a technique that i havn't done before using my fan brush. 

Here is what I did:

To create this look I put drops of polish onto a piece of paper and the dipped my fan brush into each colour in turn and moved the brush from one side of my nails to the other starting with the darkest colour. I am still not sure if i really like this manicure but i will try the technique again using different colours. 

here is what I used for this manicure:

Thanks for looking i hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Polish Party December: black and white

Hi all

So this months polish party theme is black and white.

I actually really struggled to come up with something using just these colours! I am sure there are a thousand different things I could have done but nothing really took my fancy. So I decided to re do some butterfly nails that I previously did in pink. I think this looked better in my head than it does on my nails but here it is anyway. 

I'm not sure if I cheated a little by adding models own Jack Frost to the centres of the wings (apologies if I did but it is kind of white) but I definitely think it needed something!  

So here is what I used for this mani:

So there we have it my black and white design.

I hope you like this as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Polish Party November: Disney

Hello everyone!

So its Party time again, Polish Party that is, this month we choose the theme Disney.
Initially I had so many ideas as I love Disney. I then remembered the adorable little bows I bought from she sells seashells which is one of my favorite shops! I knew then i had to do Minnie and Micky Mouse.

Whilst googling some ideas i came across this tutorial of the magic kingdom by Cutepolish and knew I had to include it in my design.

Anyway here is the finished mani:

After i had done the prints on my thumb and pinkie I decided to be brave and do Micky and Minnie's faces. I am so happy with how they turned out. I then finished the mani with the magic kingdom on my middle finger.

Here is a close up of each finger:

Here is another photo holding my OPI vintge minis:

 I used quite a lot of different polishes and tools to create this mani but here are the basics:

Movember Manicure

Hi all,

I am so bad at this! Its been so long since i last did a blog post sorry for that!

Ok so today i have my Movember Mani, I really loved doing this mani. Its very simple but effective well I think so anyway.

Here it is:

To do this mani i simply painted my nails with two coats of models own scented pastels strawberry tart and bluberry muffin. I then placed the stickers (from new look) on my nails and using a nail art pen addded hair to each little person. I'll say again this mani was such fun to do and i love the way it turned out. It even made it into Grazia lives competion!

Here is what i used:

Thanks for looking! i hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them.

Polish Party October: Halloween

Hi all,

So its the end of the month again which means its time for a Polish Party mani. This month we went with the obvious choice of Halloween.
I have been so busy latley leving hardly any time for my nails which makes me very sad :-(

Anyway onto my mani, its not very original however i do really like how it turned out. The insperation is Jack from nightmare before Christmas. So here it is:

To create this mani i painted all my nails black, then on all but my ring finger and thumb I put striping tape on and painted the nails white. For my thumb i used scotch tape then painted the middle white, using a dotting tool for the buttons and nail art pen for the bow tie. For my ring finger (Jack) i freehanded a skull shape in white then used a nail art pen for the details.

I love pumpkins so had to get one in here somehow:

A better picture of jack and his suit.I find it hard to hold my hand in this postion so please excuse the pic:

Here is what i used for this mani:

Be sure to check out all the other Polish Party mani's links below.

Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoy them as much as i enjoyed creating them.
