Embrace Your Inner Geek

Hey guys,

First things first, HAPPY FRIDAY everyone! I have been waiting for the weekend for what seems like ages, although I think I'm mainly excited so that I can catch up on much needed sleep...I know I am definitely growing old before my time. This is just a quick little post to show you my recent nail design. I have been obsessed recently with slogan t-shirts, especially the ones that say things like geek and genius. I think its my sub conscious telling me I need to embrace my geekiness and not hide it.

So I thought what better way to bring out my inner geek than to write it all across my nails!

To create this easy design all I used was urban purple maxi brush by Rimmel London, this nail varnish is great for quick application as the brush is perfectly shaped so that all you need to do is apply once in one simple stroke. Then for the 'Geek' slogan I used Models Own white nail art pen, I would say that this design is perfect for even the shakiest of hands.

Who else is obsessed with slogans, or am I just the crazy one?

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?

Love
