I meant to post this yesterday in advance of New Year’s Eve, I was a little caught up in airports though and forgot. Oh well today will have to do, it is wed-nails-day after all. At least I think it is, I’ve not quite got my head around the time difference yet! New Years called for sparkles but I wasn’t sure what I would be … Continue reading Black and Gold
I’m definitely getting into the Christmas spirit now. I bought my tree at the weekend, though we can’t find the decorations so it’s naked in the living room. Now I’ve gone all festive on my nails with this little Christmas lights design. I can’t claim credit for designing this one myself, I came across it on Pinterest. The tutorial I saw used black thread which … Continue reading Those Christmas Lights
Wed-nails-day has been missing for a few weeks. I’m shamed to admit this is because my nails haven’t really been painted, another consequence of being so busy. I spotted a little caviar nail kit in Primark the other week, it was bargain so I thought I’s give it a go. You may have seem the instagram of the kit, I didn’t fancy the silver polish … Continue reading I’ve Never Seen a Diamond in the Flesh
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
