Splattered Nails!


Hello again guys!
So this week I have done a splatter paint nail design. I didn't want to use the method where you actually splatter the nail varnish from a small paintbrush or toothbrush because I'm messy enough as it is and I can guarantee a widespread nail varnish disaster!!

You could do this design using any colours but the colours that I chose have quite a lot of contrast so I am very pleased with the final result :)

The nail varnishes that I used are:
- Snow Me White from Sinful Colors, 
- Exotic Green from Sinful Colors,
- Let's Meet, also from Sinful Colors,
- Cyan Blue by Barry M and 
- Red from Fearne Cotton's Perfect Polish Collection.












Here's a quick tutorial:

1) Paint your nails 2 coats with a white nail varnish.

2) Using a dotting tool/cocktail stick/striping brush, start in one corner and create a splatter making sure to add coloured dots to the rest of the nails.
3) Repeat this with each of your 4 colours making sure to clean your tool between each colour.
4) Do the same on all of your nails putting the colours in a different place each time.
5) When it's all dry apply a topcoat to seal in your design.

I hope you like :)

Vintage Rose Nails!


Hello again guys!
I thought the weather was going to get better this week and we could enjoy some sunshine seeing that Summer has now officially begun but alas.... I am sat here looking out of my window at what can only be described as a dreary, windy British day. Hmmph!
Anyway, I really hope it gets sunnier as it is my Year 11 Leavers Ball on Friday and I can't even begin to express my excitement!! :D


So, this week I have done some vintage rose nails inspired by a tutorial on Youtube by cutepolish.
This design was actually surprisingly easy and didn't take too long which is always a bonus because I'm so impatient when it comes to letting nail varnish dry!

To do this design I used:
- Snow Me White by Sinful Colors,
- Exotic Green by Sinful Colors,
- 17 High Gloss Nail Polish in LOVE,
- Fearne Cotton's Baby Pink from her Perfect Polish collection.


Hope you're all enjoying the summer wherever you are and

I hope you like :)

Bumble Bee and Strawberry Nail Art

 Hi Everybody! I hope you're all having a great summer, I have now finished my GCSEs which is very scary and I can't really believe that secondary school is finished.
Anyway, I've had over 500 views on my blog now and that makes me a very happy girlie :D Let's try to reach 1000!

This manicure is from last weekend (hence the sunny weather) and I just wanted to go for something really cute and bright so I've done sparkly strawberries and buzzy bumble bees. 

The nail varnishes that I used for this manicure are:
- Fearne Cotton's Red from the Perfect Polish Collection (as pictured below)
- Sinful Colors in Let's Meet for the Strawberry seeds and the bees and again in Exotic Green for the leaves.
- Model's Own  in Emerald City for the green sparkles.
- Rio Nail Art Pen in Black
- Kiss Me Quick from a Boot's Collection for the blue background.



I'd love to know what you think of my designs so please don't hesitate to leave comments on any of my posts.

I hope you like :)

Cow Print Nails!


Hi everybody. Well, the gorgeous weather has continued, HURRAH! I hope you're all out enjoying the lovely sunshine.

Today I have a really simple nail art design that is easy to do but I think it looks really effective. I did this manicure a couple of weeks ago when I went to the Royal Bath & West Show, I thought it was kind of appropriate for the occasion :) (If you don't know it's a huge agricultural show here in England).

The nail varnishes that I used to do this design are:
- Sinful Colors in Snow White for the base,
- Rio Nail Art pen in Black for the cow's patches,
- Rimmel 60 Seconds in Clear as a top coat,
- Fearne Cotton's Light Pink form her Perfect Polish Christmas Gift Set.


I hope you like :)

Daisy Nail Art!


Hi guys, it's been such a long time but I'm here now, the sun is shining and I have another gorgeous nail design to share with you!


This week I have done a design with daisies and smiley faces which I think is great for summer: long may the great weather continue! 
This design is really simple to do so you should definitely give it a go. I've included a short tutorial with this post so get painting :D










 The nail varnishes that I used (from left to right) are:
- Rio Nail Art pen in Black
- Kiss Me Quick from Boots in Blue
- Rimmel 60 Seconds in Clear
- Sinful Colors in Snow Me White
- Sinful Colors in Let's Meet.


To do this nail art design:
1. Paint all of your nails, except the ring finger, in a really bright blue. Paint the ring finger in yellow. I always try to do 2 coats because you get a brighter, more opaque colour that lasts longer.
2. Use a nail art pen (if you don't have one you an use a dotting tool or a cocktail stick) and paint a happy, beaming face on your ring finger.
3. When the blue nail varnish is dry, use a dotting tool to paint 5 dots in a circle to make the daisies.
4. When the white is dry paint a yellow dot in the centre. 
5. When your design is completely dry add a top coat to seal everything in and add that beautiful shine.

I hope you like :)
