A to Z of nails - G is for GOLD

Hi Everyone! 

It's that time again where I get given a theme and try and be as obscure as possible!

This week is clearly no different to any other, so without further ado, check out my design for "gold" week !

So, for those who cannot read music ( or for those who think my freehand skills leave a lot to be desired ) these are the opening few bars of the song "Gold" by Spandau Ballet ( showing my age a little here haha! )

A to Z Challenge "F" is for Fashion!

Hey Everyone !

It's that time of the week again, and I'm actually more excited about this weeks theme than I should be.

I actually came about this weeks mani without even thinking about it. I was chatting to Charlie from Pocket Money Polishes when she reminded me about the F for fashion theme, I looked down at my nails that I was painting for the hell of it, and immediately thought "yup, these are the nails I'm going to use"

So my inspiration for this mani are these leggings from Black Milk. It's a lovely simple pattern, but catches the eye nicely, & I knew I had a MoYou London stamping plate somewhere with the same pattern on, so I dug it out, and there we have it !

I feel like I kinda cheated a bit by using such a simple design and a stamping plate too, but I still love them :)

A-Z Challenge. E is for Elegant

Hey Guys! It's A-Z time again ! :)

This week is "E" So our theme is "Elegant". This week was fairly easy for me as I had an idea in my head immediately and just went with it  !!

A to Z Challenge - D is for DARK

Hey lovelies !

This week's A-Z theme is "Dark" and as always it's completely open to interpretation, and as you all know I do like a little bit of obscurity, so I thought I would go for something a little different and "out there" ;)

So I new all the other awesome ladies doing the challenge would come up with something amazing, so I thought I would have a go at something amazing too :)

So my take on this weeks "Dark" theme is...

Black Hole. 

You can't get much darker than that, can you?

A to Z Challenge ! C is for COPYCAT

Good Afternoon all !

It's time for another A to Z post :)

This week's theme is "Copycat". We had the choice to copy another nail artist, or a pattern, or anything really! This theme was wide open to choose whatever you wish.

So for my copycat design, I decided to copy this design from the lovely Jessnailed_it on Instagram.

A to Z - B is for BOLD

Hey all !!

This week has gone by so fast! So today's A to Z theme is "BOLD"

Now there are many ways to interpret bold, but the first thought that came into my head was super bright contrasting colours.

Nothing complicated about this weeks mani, the colours may blow your eyeballs out though.

Happy Halloween blog post

Happy Halloween lovelies !!!

This is the post I have been leading up to all October :)

Herein lies every Halloween design I have made this year! Some of which you may have seen via my Instagram, but some are a few surprises I have sneaked in.

This post is going to be very photo heavy, so I'm going to try and soften the blow by not writing a novel before each one as a description.

First up is a Day of the Dead / Calavera inspired design, I wanted to concentrate on distinguishing features rather than attempt at a teeny tiny whole face on each nail with not a lot of detail.

A - Z Weekly Challenge. New Weekly Challenge !!

Hey All !!

So last week was the last of the A-Z of polish challenge, but this week the A-Z challenge returns with a new theme !

This time round is more open to interpretation, which means t hat we all get to see a huge variation of ideas from everyone involved, and we have had a bit of a recruitment drive, and we now have a huge pool of talented nail artists who are joining in with the challenge via their blogs & the instagram hashtag #A2ZNAILS, so keep an eye out for that :)

Now for today's prompt... ANGLES !! 

So I wanted to stick with a slight Halloweeny theme as it's that time of year, so I went for a black / orange ombré on two accent nails using Barry M Matte in Espresso, and Barry M Gelly in Mango ( my go to halloween orange ) over a base of Models Own HyperGel in White Light.

To create the angles, I used some right angle nail vinyls from NailVinyls.com, and then topped it off with some Seche Vite to smooth out any bumps left over from painting on top of the vinyls.
