Pink Friday-Disco Mash-Up

These nails are amaze and I really think that they turned out well. They are a bit OTT but you can never have too much pink or glitter in my opinion soooo.......!!!!!

Difficulty: 4/10

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.

Pink Friday-Gel manicure

this week, on Thursday I got a gel manicure, like shellac, the results are amaze and I was pleased to learn that I could pain my own polish on top. They should last about two weeks which is great because I am going to a wedding next week and the nude colour I picked will be nice and classy, because my dress is bright pink!!!
this is what they looked like when I left the salon...

Tried to get a good shot in different lights, the only problem that was my nails were such a wreck (they looked like I had clawed my way out of my own grave!!) so they had to be cut really short. Oh well, hopefully they will grow stronger and longer because of the gel. 

Anyway to fit Pink Friday, and hopefully make my nails look longer I did they leopard with the pink stripe across one side, vertical stripes are lengthening. These really should be called Cece nails as they are her fave.

TIP: The more neon the block colour side, the better!!!

Pink Friday-Stink Friday

Couldn't think of any pink patterns yesterday for Pink Friday... tears!! But I did use this crème de bananas colour from models own called Bubblegum Pink, a better name would be neon pink or I need my sunglasses to look at my nails pink!!! hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhhahaaaaa the craziest colour I have worn on my fingers since when I tried to wear yellow. This looked good though it was great for clubbing because no one lost me I just held my hand up and my friends could spot me across the crowded dance floor in the dark!!!!

Models own are an amaze brand which do an unbelievable amount of shades in really on trend colours. This photo though makes me laugh because it does not express just how neon my nails were!!!

Arrrgh- Nails Fail- Miu Miu

Ewwwww!!! These nails looked like pokemons...  these lovely miu miu bags. They are not exactly my taste but I thought they would translate really well into nails....this is what they were 'sposed to look like... (the yellow one obs.)

This is what they actually looked like...

See I only got half-way through one hand and had to give up... sometimes its best not to continue. I think that if I had chosen the pinks instead it would have been fine, but TBH I am too pale to wear yellow but hey just really like jumped out at me in the photo...? Oh well!!!

Pink Friday-What's that on your fingers??

Lovin' these geometric inspired shapes on my finger-lingers!! These again took ages but the effect is so amaze that it is worth it!! It's just a shame the gold, silvery colour didn't show up on the camera.

Nails of last week-Catching up!!

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!!

Difficulty: 7/10

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- Floral not my Fave

Urgh, these didn't really seem to go right for me, they just took ages and I am not pleased with the results, which remind me of William Morris wallpaper which reminds me of school trips to the V and A Museum. i just wanted to do something spring like, but its freezing here so it seems premature. Ohh well.

Nails of the Week- Puuuuuurfect Print!

These are my all time most favourite nail art and most requested when I do my friends nails, it is surprisingly easy but most people are really impressed with them and I get loads of comments too. So many people think that they are nail wraps but they're not...! I actually don't really like nail wraps because I can never put them on without creasing and then they are unconfortable. Anyways it is easy and much cheaper to do it yourself.

1. Paint your nails with a base coat and then two coats of whatever you want the background colour to be, I chose a Bright red (the colour of the pic is not very true to life, they are really much deeper and more of an orange toned red)
2. Draw blobs of various roundish shapes onto your nails. The sizes may vary and depending on the length of your nails you may get between 4-10 blobs on there, just make sure there is a good space all around and between them because they will need to be outlined.
 NB the colour combinations in this look are endless, this was the first time that I used these colours, I usually do a pale nude base coat with a coral spot, but I always do a black outline, however, I have done mint green and purple together,different shades of blue, yellow and pink and the more realistic browns and creams of a real leopard. Go wild with it!
3. With a very fine artist brush or a cocktail stick start to do the black squiggles, it helps to look at real print to get the right idea. I tend to do lines all around the pink blob, leaving gaps at random intervals and varying the thickness of the lines at different points too (It sounds difficult but keep practising and you will know what I'm talking about). Also if you have any large gaps between the spots I like to do black squiggles there to to fill up any empty spaces.
4. Top Coat.
