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 were becoming.

OPI released these Hello Kitty polishes awhile ago now, but and I managed to get my hands on them recently when I saw them for a very good price. The polish is quite a thin consistency, and you'll need 2-3 coats depending on how well you applied the first coat. If you don't apply the first coat well, you'll definitely need three, maybe four, to hide any uneven spots.

This shade is 'Look At My Bow'. It is a candy pink colour, a shade that is not too pale and not too bright. An all round good shade, it's just a shame about the consistency. 

Do you own anything from the OPI x Hello Kitty range?

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.

Nail Art #43 | Ghostbusters Nails

Who you gonna call?! GHOSTBUSTERS! I'm not a fan of Halloween, I hate horror films and anything scary. I do love a good supernatural film every now and then, and Ghostbusters is an all time classic around this time of year.

I didn't really know what to paint on my nails for Halloween this year. I was torn between Back to the Future and Ghostbusters. I wasn't sure how to execute Back to the Future on my nails, so I went for Ghostbusters and their monsters, as well as the iconic logo, "Who you gonna call?" line, and some laser beams.

It was hard to do these nails with my blocked nail art pens, (still can't unblock them!) I had to use the striper end which was a little tricky to do. I used a mix of striper brushes and dotting tools to create these nails.

What are you up to this Halloween?

Nail Art #42 | Pink Camouflage Nails

Hello everyone! How fast is October flying by? I don't know where the times gone but soon all the Christmas markets will be out, the lights and decorations, all of the festive hot chocolates.... It's my favourite time of the year! Anyway, it's still October, and it's Breast Cancer Awareness month.

It's a worldwide campaign, highlighting the importance of breast awareness, education and research. So many brands are on board in creating products for the month, and donating the profits to charity. You should be regularly checking your breasts and surrounding areas for any lumps, But it's not just lumps you should be looking for, CoppaFeel have a list of things to look out for, which you can read here!

I wasn't too sure what I wanted to paint, and I wasn't sure what shade of pink to use, so I thought I'd use them all in a camouflage print and hoped it'd look okay! And I think it does. I used six shades of pinks and they are: Crabtree & Evelyn in Petal Pink, Barry M Gelly Paints in Grapefruit and Pink Punch, Model's Own in Soda Pop Pink and Sophie's Pink, and Nails Inc in Picadilly Circus.
