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 stuff, which is why I'm hesitant in trying newly released polishes. Hopefully O.G. nail polish brands like Essie won't flake out on their future releases.

Nail Art #49 | Daisy Nails

This week I've been trying out Model's Own Luxe polish, I only have one shade so far, and I don't think I'll be getting any more. It has a thin consistency, and you need about three layers to make it opaque. It doesn't apply well -- it's difficult to get an even coverage because it's so thin. I love the shade (Princess Pink) but damn! I just hate when a polish is like that. Don't get me wrong, their normal ranges of polish are amazing! 

I used MoYou London's Suki stamping plate #13 with Barry M's Gelly in Grapefruit, which was much more opaque, and works great for stamping too. And yes, I'm aware I need to work on my stamping technique but this is my second time stamping! I think I did okay.

Nail Art #47 | Pink Tweed Nails

So I've been away from the blogging world for a few weeks; retail work over the holiday period meant less time for nails and more time in the store. But now that's out of the way hopefully I'll have more regular nail posts. This is also why I choose to paint nail art onto false nails, so I can get back to them when I'm not at work. I used to paint nail art on my natural nails, but I'd always rush them and they'd never look how I wanted them to. 

I've been obsessed with tweed style nails for a while now, but I've never found a colour combination that I liked, until I saw one on Instagram and was instantly inspired. I tried doing a tweed pattern horizontally and vertically but I didn't like how it turned out, so I stuck with small, horizontal stripes. 

For these nails, I used six different colours to achieve this look. I used Model's Own Luxe in Princess Pink, Model's Own Hypergel White Gel, Lilac Sheen, Cerise Shine, and Ciate's Big Yellow Taxi.

What do you think of this look? Love it or loathe it?

Lots of love, Jenny xo - Follow me on: Twitter / Instagram / Bloglovin

Nail Art #44 | Broken Glass Nails

Hello everyone! This week I've created some broken glass nails! I've seen this look all over Instagram so I had to do my own version.

I'm using holographic tape, cut up into tiny pieces and stuck them on the nails, my only issue is that the tape wouldn't lay flat and would curl up at the ends. I am not sure how to fix that issue so if anyone has any suggestions please comment below! I think the holographic tape would work perfect with or without polish.

The holographic nail polish used is by GOSH cosmetics; it doesn't have a name but it's the only holographic nail polish they sell so it's an easy find.
