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
Like a Bat Out of Hell
Halloween is upon us and I love it! Last year I completely missed out on the festivities so I’m making up for it this year. Sunday was spent, painting my nails, picking a costume and carving pumpkins! First up is the finger nails. Little bit of skulls, little bit of bats, little bit of beetlejuice. A hint to my costume and super easy; as long … Continue reading Like a Bat Out of Hell
Brush Strokes
Dry brush nail art is the new big nail art trend. I saw quite a few models rocking this look on the catwalk during fashion week. Obviously I had to give it a go. This is most likely the easiest nail art I’ve ever tried. I went for a gold base coat rather than the white; I think its more fitting for Autumn. Firstly, I … Continue reading Brush Strokes
White Lines
As much as I like this simple geometric design, I can’t help but feel they are just too plain. Two coats of lilac and then I added the white lines. I used my dotting tool rather than a brush as I find this works better for straight lines. I had planned to add a little stud but couldn’t work out where it would fit. I … Continue reading White Lines
Diamonds are Forever
Indeed they are, these little bad boys lasted my whole holiday and are still going strong. I picked up these pastel nail polishes specifically for my holiday, man did they look good in the sunshine. After two coats of colour I added a top coat and placed the diamonds before curing it under the UV light. I’m glad I went for the extra little design … Continue reading Diamonds are Forever
