Nails: Ideas from pinterest - tried and tested

I am a huge lover of pinterest, I spend a lot of time looking through all different sections on there, but my faveourite is the hair a beauty, and the food sections. I thought I would share with you some of the things I have tried and how they turned out..

First up are these funky nails, I had seen some bright nails that had beautiful colour gradients with animal print over, so I decided to recreate them with my own slight twist. I got a lot of complement the day I wore these..

This is something that looks so cute in real life I wouldn't stop looking at them. This is water marbling over top of holographic nail polish. I wasn't sure how this would turn out, and if the holo would show through, but it does, and gives a slight holo/metallic look to the nails, even though the colours a used to marble were just plain creme

Have you tried pinterest yet?
What ideas have you tried, and how did they turn out?

Make up: My daily look

This is my first make-up post. As you can probably tell I am far more comfortable show nails than I am make-up, even though I do my make up every day, and don't often leave home with out it, I am less exciting with my face than with my hands.





<<< As you can see I normally keep my makeup quite simple in the day, especially for work. I find that keeping my make-up neutral in the day is good for two reason, I know what I am doing in the morning when I am in a hurry and super sleepy, and if I am going out after work, I don't have to take everything off to re do it, I can just touch it up, and add some colour to match my outfit if I need to.
It surprisingly takes me quite a few items to make me look natural, around 10.

Here is what I use:

Primer: bodyshop - Matte it
Foundation: Vichy dermablend corrective stick - opal.(12)
powder: bodyshop loose face powder - 3
Bronzer: E.L.F - contouring blush and bronzing powder ( I just use the bronzing side.)
Blush: bodyshop - petal (01)
Brows: Hd brows - foxy (I also use this as eye shadow.)
Eye shadow primer: E.L.F - sheer.
Eyeliner: bodyshop - eye definer in black.
Mascara: Technic sk-eye high lashes - black.

Nails: A few more Halloween ideas.

 Hello guys and gals. This is a quick post with some more Halloween nails - now I know Halloween was yesterday, but I thought I'd show you what I was rocking for the (lack of) festivities.

This are the nails I wore for the 31st. I just used some pink glitter nail polish from colorclub then just added some cute little Halloween nail stickers over it.

These nails are some more toned down nails that I did with little spiders webs on. I love the frosted pink in the left image, but I am less sure if I like it when covered with glitter. I just drew the web on free hand with a white nail polish and a small brush.

Show me your Halloween nails in the comments section below.

Don't forget you can keep up to date on what nails are happening on our facebook page.

nails: princess pink.

When I did these nails, I wanted something simple, and cute whilst keeping my nails girly and interesting. I call them my princess nails.

This is a beautiful pink from color club, that I picked up in a box set - it has no name on it, and I can't work out what it is. It is very similar to O.P.I pink-ing of you // Pink Friday; and I love both of them too.All I did after that was add some little crystals around the cuticle line between 4 and 7 on each finger.

Hope you enjoy them. -Jebbie <3

Nails: blue/yellow fade.

Today's nails aren't on my hands, these fingers belong to my best friend. She asked for "something cool and interesting for the weekend"

We eventually decided to go for a fade from blue to yellow, then add some Zebra stripes on top. She really loved one of my new blue nail polish, and wanted something that included the colour in the design, although it does look a little more green the blended over the yellow. Nicky was very happy with the finished design - lets hope they last her all weekend!




Here are the swatches of the yellow and blue I used. Both are by Nina ultra pro I picked these up at salonservices  for 67p. The yellow needed three coats, but other than that nothing wrong with it.

Nails: Animal print (Neon)

Thursdays nails were neon pink and blue/green with both leopard and zebra print. I topped them off with some sliver glitter where the two colours meet.

I am in love with these nails! I was a little sad to take them off, but I wanted to get more designs done.

Nails: Halloween..

Hey guys, long time no blog eh? I have been really busy with nails recently - I have just finished my course, and have now qualified as a nail technician, which is awesome. Other than that, I have been doing lots of designs and setting my facebook page. 

Here are some Halloween nails that I have been working on. I have done eight different designs, cause I love a bit of mix and match on my nails!

What is your favorite design for Halloween nails?
If you have some nail art you have done, why not leave me a link in the box below, so I can check it out.



I also have a great collection on bright colours to show you that I picked up recently, so keep your eyes peeled for that one!

Take care - Jebbie <3
