Tonal Scale
I have to say I love these tonal scale nails. So simple yet so pretty, it’s like an large scale ombre. It was a bit messy creating this look as you may have seen in Twitter.

Under the Sea
These are my mermaid nails, aren’t they fab? Glitter is a sure fire way to cheer a girl up and after a long day at work and another to follow, cheering up I needed. I try not to post similar nail art two weeks in a row. However, after said horror day I was not minded to spend an hour or so painting my nails.

Colour Changers
These are game changers, I say these as I have a set of six different colours, or should that be twelve. A fab little birthday present from my bestie, she knows me well.

Short and Sweet
My nails were neglected over new year and ended up broken, short and weak. I thought a simple design might make them look a little longer. The middle fingers were particularly short, hence the central vertical lines. Colour and negative space are always favourites of mine so I adapted these into a varied geometric design.

Breathing in Snowflakes
These are my Christmas Day nails. I went a little more wintery than Christmassy as I figured they’d last till New Year. Snowflakes aren’t just for Christmas right? Continue reading “Breathing in Snowflakes”
Rocking Around the Christmas Tree
With Christmas edging ever closer the only appropriate nail art is of course Christmas themed. After last years glitter trees, I kept it a little simpler this year. Continue reading “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree”
The Holly That Will Be
Yesterday heralded the 1st of December and with that it is now acceptable to discuss the C word, yip it’s nearly Christmas. I have a strict rule that Christmas should not start to December, so these little nails were painted hurriedly last night and not over my leisurely weekend. I made a good start on the present front too, thank god for online shopping. As … Continue reading The Holly That Will Be
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Is it still Wednesday? This has been a long trying day it almost seems like this morning was yesterday. All the more reason to share so pretty nails and forget about the stress that is the day job. And how can a post some wed-nails-day on a Thursday? I’m not sure if it’s still in style to match your nails to your outfit, everything supposed … Continue reading Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Embrasser C’est Francais
A French manicure is too boring for me but I wanted something simple after my Halloween nails. After a nude base coat I added these chic little black tips. The tips I painted with a little brush and added the dots with a dotter tool. When painting the tips don’t stress about getting it perfect first time, I found I was able to balance everything … Continue reading Embrasser C’est Francais
Evil Eyes
Just as promised here’s my little Halloween toes. I know it’s not Wednesday, but this nail art is kinda time sensitive. Another simple but effective design. These would work on fingers too, I think I’d go for the middle and ring finger. It’s super easy, just paint a base layer of white first to make the colour really pop against the black. I then needed … Continue reading Evil Eyes
