My toes weren’t left out of the holiday nail art. I went for a simple bright sunset design. I didn’t take photos of each stage unfortunately. I started with a colour blend with yellow, orange and pink as I did here. I then painted on the palm trees with a detail brush. Simples. Waterloo Sunset – The Kinks Continue reading Waterloo Sunset, I Am in Paradise
I’m off on my holidays on Friday so I had to get some bright colours on my nails. I decided on leopard print as I’ve not done it for ages. I think it can be a bit much on all your nails so went for this rising effect. It takes some time but it’s not hard. Simply paint your nails the main colour. Add little … Continue reading Wild Thing, I think I Love You
I painted my nails on Sunday when I was still, in fact I still am, undecided on a dress for Friday. I won’t have time to do my nails again so thought i’d keep them black and white to go with any colour outfit. I do like black nail varnish but it can be a bit harsh on its own. I attempted a lace pattern … Continue reading It’s just that it’s Delicate
I’ve not had any embellishments on my nails for a little while now, so thought I’d get my little diamantés out. I painted my nails with this cute little pastel purple and covered my ring fingernail with the diamantés; maybe a hint to the man it is our five year anniversary soon. I use shellac so I place the diamanté on the top coat before … Continue reading Shine Bright like a Diamond
I know it’s been weeks since I’ve had a wed-nails-day post, I’m sorry! I’ve been super busy and actually had naked nails for weeks, I know shock horror. I’ve got a new one for your today though. So how do you like my galaxy nails? This was my first go at them. I think if I did them again I add a bit more pink … Continue reading From Another Galaxy
I’m sorry I’ve not had a proper wed-nails-day for weeks. I left my lamp at Roz’s after our little girls night and only picked it up during the week. I’ve been seeing a lot if Aztec prints around, which I love btw, so thought I’d give it a go on my nails. I decided to not to paint the pattern on every nail. For two … Continue reading Don’t Stop til You Get Enough
My nails are naked this week, I hate it, it does not look right. I have a good reason though. I normally paint my nails on a Sunday afternoon. Last Sunday I was off to my good friend Roz’s to meet up with a few other bloggers, Sarah, WestEnd Girl, Bex and Wendy. It was a gorgeous day and I got to show off the … Continue reading We Are Your Friends
It’s wednesday, time for some new nails! I thought I would paint some nice bright summery nails to try and cheer up dull grey Scotland. Maybe it worked, as you may have seen I had some shorts on at the weekend and got to enjoy some serious sunshine. I started off painting my nails a bright yellow. I promise it wasn’t as dayglo as I … Continue reading Set Fire to the Rain
New nails! I figured these were fitting last week when it was technically spring and I was wishing it was. Very cute and very simple. I know I always say that but all you need for these are a small brush and steady hand. Granted a steady hand isn’t always easy to come by. I started with two coats of light grey. This shade is … Continue reading Wishing and Hoping
I got a little but hopeful for the bank holiday weekend and thought there might be the opportunity for open toes. I was wrong, it rained. Since my toes are hidden for work I could be a little but more adventurous with the nail art. I went for comic book style. The design it’s self is simple but it is really awkward trying to paint … Continue reading I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby
