Lilac and glitter flowers

For this design I painted my nails lilac and then used a silver glitter nail art pen for the flowers. To do the flowers I started off by doing a dot in the middle to work from then drew four petals around the dot. I did a couple of these flowers on my accent nails and only one big flower coming off the nail in different positions on different nails for the rest of my nails.

Movember Nails



This is the design that I came up with for Movember









For the design I used Barry M black nail art pen to do the design over Accessorize Cinder Rose. 

The black splodge on my little finger is nail varnish... I'm so messy!

Studs and Polka Dots

I used Nails Inc Big Apple Red as my base colour for this design then used a big dotting tool and black polish to create polka dots on all my nails except my ring finger. On my ring finger after I painted my nails red and let that dry I painted over it with a thick coat of clear nail varnish then used a dotting tool with a little bit of clear polish on it to pick up and place the gold round studs only nails. I finished of with a fast drying topcoat on all my nails and made sure it was a thick coat on my ring finger to secure the studs!

Union Jack Nails

For this design I used my  Maybelline vintage leather polishes in Turquoise Temptation and Red Grained. I used Red Grained on my ring finger and Turquoise Temptation on the rest of my nails. I also used 2 Andrea Fullerton stripers, a silver one and a glitter one. I used the glitter one on my ring finger and the silver one on the rest of my fingers. I used these to draw out the Union Jack then finished off with a topcoat. 

My silver striper is very old and dried up (I should really get a new one), so it's not left a great finish to this mani, very bumpy and uneven not nice and smooth like it should be.

Pink and gold studs

This design is very simple and easy. I just painted my nails in Milan by No. 7 then used a topcoat to secure on the gold studs (from eBay).

Fireworks Night Nails!


Just a silver background with colourful fireworks for Fireworks Night! Little bit messy... 
Used nail art pens and toothpicks to create this design. Started off by doing the silhouette of the fireworks in white then adding the colour, outlining them in black and used a gold and red striper for the little explosions at the bottom.

Cupcakes Halloween Challenge: Free for All


This is not only my final design for the halloween challenge, it is also the design I wore on halloween. As it was halloween I thought I'd go as dramatic as I could, so I used false nails and glued some spikes from eBay onto my nails. On my thumb and little finger I just have glitter and spikes. Purple glitter on my little finger and silver on my thumb. On my ring finger I just have the spikes on a black background and my other two nails are gravestones. I filed all my nails to a stilletto shape and finished them off with a matte topcoat.
