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.

Nail Art #40 | Chrome Stripe Nails


Hey guys! Today I've created some simple nail art that anyone can do. There are no tools needed for this, all you need is a steady hand and two polishes! You can easily recreate this look using two different colours depending on the look you are going for. I've chosen white (Barry M Jelly polish in Cotton) as the base colour, and a chrome-y colour (Model's Own polish in Champagne). I've opted for these two shades as it's not too bright or garish, so you can wear it to work.

I have a love/hate thing for white nails. They remind me of times in school when girls would paint their nails with Tip-Ex and it was a half done job. I think white nails look perfect on well manicured hands!

Nail Art #38 | Varsity Nails


Hey everyone! Seeing as everyone is in back to school mode, I thought I'd do these varsity jacket inspired nails. I love varsity jackets and I wish my university had made them but it's not really a thing here. University branded products are more of an American thing. And we don't have cool logos for our universities... At least my university didn't.

This time of year screams Harry Potter, Autumn, cuddling up to the heater, candles... and the lead up to Christmas. I love it.

I'm using Model's Own Betty Blue, and WAH London's nail art striper to create the letters and stripes. Unfortunately the nib on the pen is blocked and I can't unblock it... Soaking it into nail polish remover didn't help either. I've lost the tiny pin from my other nail art pens too... So if you know how to fix this, please help!
