Fashion Inspired- Prabal Gurung

These images from the Prabal Gurung S/S 2012 show were so beaut I just knew that they would look great on my fingerlings. I looked at the images and came up with this look including a new technique for me marbling, (without water).

Technique
1. Paint nails with a basecoat
2. Paint nails with one very thin coat of white polish
3. Paint a second very thick watery coat of white polish, and very quickly add a few small drops of dark and light purple to each side of the nail in inwardly pointing triangle shapes.
4. Using a cocktail stick or a pin quickly swirl the colours together, but not too much so that colours remain separate, (you don't want to mix them into one colour).
5. Paint on the Purple and black triangles using a fine brush or a nail art pen.
6. Topcoat.

This sounds complicated but it isn't really, you will have more time than you think to play with the swirls as long as you paint a thick enough base colour on. You could even so this all over the nail or maybe as a gradient from the tip up. It goes without saying that you could use whichever colours you wanted but I wanted to create this Prabal Gurung look so I used his colours.

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!!

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- Chic Aztec

This was an odd one this week, which really needs a bit of a story to explain but I don't want to bore you so will just say that these just kind of happened. I am not sure if I like all the variations but I do love that they all different which I think makes it quite quirky. Well I like them, the colour combinations especially, and I think I will take the v shaped french manicure reverse ones and do them again. These were also very easy, although I did have to use tape to get the lines straight.

Apologies for the poor picture quality, I forgot to photograph these until when I was out on Monday night, so I took the photos with my phone so the quality is not so good but luckily these are not especially detailed so it doesn't matter.
