It's electrifying!

Hey Guys...

Just a quick post today as I'm feeling pretty tired from my eventful Halloween night and then a full day of lectures! So due to my lack of sleep I decided that it would be much more productive to paint my nails. So here is my quick and simple design...

This design was created using Models Own 'Mystic Mauve' for the base and then to do the lightning bolt on the one finger I used Models Own black nail art pen. I have to say I love how metallic and shiny the base coat colour is,this picture doesn't really do it justice (again I apologise for poor lighting) but in person it's a stunning colour.

And just in case you wanted to see what me and my flat mate went as for Halloween, here is a sneaky peek...(bet you can't guess who I am ;) )

I hope you all had a fun filled spooky night :)

Circus Comes to Town!

Just a quick post today....

I wanted to show you all my circus inspired nails. Quite a simple design but I always think some of the more simpler ones are the most effective.

To create this design first use a white base coat and then layer on top various sized black triangles with a nail art pen. I used a models own nail art pen for this. And then a vola, it is literally that simple! Perfect if you need something quick but still funky for a night out.

What are some of your favourite nail art designs?

Jubilee nail art!

Hello lovelies,

It's the Queen's Diamond Jubilee this weekend (yay 4 day weekend), 60 years of her reign, I think that is pretty impressive! I thought I would show my patriotism through the use of nail art. I wanted to put a slight spin on the typical red, white and blue union jack, so instead I went for pastel colours, which consisted of a pastel blue (blue moon Barry M), a light pink (urban princess Rimmel) and white (models own nail art pen). What do you all think?

   

From left to right: Rimmel 291 urban princess, Models Own nail art pen in white and Barry M blue moon.

Also in this picture I am sure you couldn't help but notice my quirky new camera ring, which I actually won on kukee's blog a couple of weeks ago. I was so excited it was the first time I have won a competition on these blogs. Anyway kukee has lots of other fab pieces of jewellery at great prices so head on over to her blog to have a browse.

So what are you guys up to this Jubilee weekend? Anyway having any parties?

Love

Nails: Paint Explosion!

Hey guys!

Hope everyone is well. I have one exam out of the way..yay but 3 more to go...boo! But I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel or as my old teacher used to say I'm at the final 100m sprint of the race.
So this is just a quick post, I basically wanted to show you what I did with my nails today. I suddenly had the cool idea of trying out something that I like to call a paint explosion! It turned out like this....

What do you guys think?

To create this look I used what is pictured below (from left to right: Barry M in strawberry, Barry M in mint green, Rimmel in black cab, Barry M in peach melba and Barry M in berry). Start with a black base colour and then slowly drip the different colours down the top of your nails, taking any excess off where necessary and vola you have a quick yet effective 'paint explosion' nail design. I think the colours symbolise our english weather perfectly at the moment, mainly dark and cloudy with a hint of colour and warmth.

So what are your favourite nails colours at the moment? Any favourite brands of nail polish?
