Nail Art #55 | Christmas jumper nails

Hello everyone! Christmas seems to have rolled round faster than ever, I can't believe it's next weekend. I've got all my presents wrapped and ready to give out. I even have presents for my dogs in their own Christmas stocking. This Christmas I hardly have time to paint cute designs onto my nails due to working so much in retail. It just gets busier and busier as the days head towards the new year. I bought this...

Nail Art #54 | Leafy Greens

Hey everyone! Today's manicure has a little tropical feel to it. I was stuck for nail art ideas when I had a look at my stamping plates. I realised I hadn't used any of the designs from MoYou London's Enchanted Stamping Plate, in #13. I hadn't used it because it's so delicately detailed, I just didn't know where to begin. My mind is just overwhelmed with ideas when I look at the plate. First, I painted 2 layers...

Nail Art #53 | I'm Late! Nails

"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!"

If you don't live under a rock, this collection was to tie in with the new Alice in Wonderland sequel, Alice Through the Looking Glass. Now he's seen me...

Nail Art #52 | Pink Marble Nails

Hello everyone! This week I've created a pink marble nails. They're super easy to do, and require only three shades of polish, two brushes and one steady hand.

To create the marble, I used the dry brush technique and painted Splash of Grenadine in one direction across the nail. I used a thin nail art brush...

Nail Art #51 | Candy Pink Nails

Hello everyone! Sorry that I haven't been posting much, a mix of waiting for my nails to stop splitting and being at work. And my work means having a lot of broken nails. I'm trying out different nail care products to see what currently works best for me. So while I've been waiting around, I've picked up some nail polishes and been frustrated that I couldn't paint my nails for the blog because of how short they...

Nail Art #50 | Naked Nails

Okay so my nails aren't actually 'naked', but they are coated in a nude polish! I love nude shades. They effortlessly look brilliant, and look great whatever the occasion, whatever the outfit, whatever the weather. This shade by Essie is 'Ballet Slippers'. Some brands of nail polishes I found, have a consistency that doesn't work with me any more. Their new releases just don't seem to apply as well as their older...
