Upload-a-thon!!

Apologies for the lack of posts late, I have been on break from uni and at home I just get nothing done. So here are some of the nails that I did over the last month, well the ones that I remembered to photograph anyway. I think part of the problem was that I was lacking in ideas as well but I feel renewed and hopefully will come up with some amaze summery nails for the coming months. P.S. Sorry for the poor quality of the photos my camera was indisposed so i had to use my Blackberry which as anyone who's got one know knows take awful pictures.

These were crazy neon but also quite cool!!!

These were inspired by this liberty print but unfortunately you cant really see the detail, to get the  fine lines perfect I did the red first and then the pink on top as I knew that I would never get the red line thin enough with a brush.

These were just a really cool twist on my usual leopard print or the ones with a stripe that I did before, by putting the V-shaped smile lines in it makes the nails look really pointed which is a really modern shape for nails this season.

Nails of the Week- Springalicious

Ohh bananas it's been a long time I think I forgot how to spell -alicious!!! This week I did these cute blue roses, flowers things. Very pretty, not easy though but I love the colours, muted but still appropriate for the beaut weather that we are experiencing this weekend. I did the black outline first, then filled in the blue, obvs any colour combo would be lovely I just liked these because they were different.

They looked better once I had put the topcoat on them, for some reason I just forgot whilst I was taking the photo.

Nails of the week- El Salonisto Inspired

Easy as this week, although I don't take credit for the design which comes from http://elsalonsito.com/. On this site there is also a fantastic photo tutorial although this is extremely simple and doesn't require any skill or special tools!! I mixed mine up a bit by adding the half moons at the top but they could be left out if desired.

Nails of the Week- Galaxy Nails

These too are seen on many nails blogs and sites and have been done in a variety of ways by many people, but to me these are the most realistic looking style and they create a look which is very simple but effective.

1. Paint nails a dark colour, I have used a deep, deep blue, almost black but black will work, as will purple.
2. Using a piece of a make-up sponge, torn off and held between tweezers, dab on in streaks a brighter blue a pinky purple, and a pale yellow, make sure these colours are all very close together as if part of the same ermmm nebula?
3. Dot on using a toothpick white dots to form stars, make some bigger and some smaller.
4. Topcoat.

I was so busy last week I had no time to post so here are the nails was wearing from Monday 12th onwards.
The first ones were a kind of patterned variety type thing, seen here,


I really like these ones, although they do take a long time but the effect is nice, Variety is the spice of life!!

These next ones were a little experiment of mine, my own version of Jennifer Mather's cover look for Nails Magazine. Obvioulsy mine are not acrylic nails nor did I use shellac but I managed to achieve the same effect or a good one anyway but with different coulours! I really like these will deffo do again, they looked like jewels!!!

Nails of the Week- Valentines #2

These remind me of Alice in Wonderland, I think it is the colours, anyway they were a cute valentines day alternative to lots of pink and red. To do the hearts, first I painted the hearts on in red using an artist brush, and then on top of that I painted a medium pink just inside of the red, to create a red line. then using the finest dotting tool I possess I did the white dots.

Doing Jade and Chloe's Nails

After tonight's paella night with some girls from my Spanish class I did some cute nail designs;Flamingoes in love for Jade and starry blues for Chloe. The flamingo fingers are a nice idea for Valentines day but the starry ones remind me of a Cath Kitson print.
