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!!!

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!!!

Unicorns and Glitter!!!!

Just a peek at my piggies this time, I' have painted them glittery for the festive season! Now I love glitter EVERYWHERE, when I go out I am always covered in glitter, on my eyes, on my body, my hair everything, but I hate glitter nail polish because it is a nightmare to remove and you end up making a big mess. However, on my toes I don't mind because I don't change that polish as often as I do my fingers, only after it is a complete wreck, especially in the winter. I created this look with inspiration from the glittery wrapping paper in the background of the pic (I got this from John Lewis and I am going to put it up in my kitchen at uni) and I used  Models Own in Champagne nail polish as the main colour, and then whilst wet I pressed into it a silver cosmetic glitter, I didn't use a glitter top coat because I find that with my toes if they are really thick with nail polish they chip more easily. Finished with two coats of top coat and you're done.
 ADDED TOUCH: I added the Unicorn as an afterthought because I luuuurrrrrve unicorns, this was painted on with a very fine artist brush and black nail polish. But you can add to this whatever you like, the silhouette works really well against the glitter. You should do this after the topcoat, although add another topcoat to finish as well.
