nails:gradient with glitter.

This is a super simple and cute aqua to pink gradient with a glitter top coat.
I love these two colours together. I think it works great on it's own or would make a pretty background for some nail art.

Nails: Acrylics

Hello! today is non art related, this is some of the Liquid and powder ( Acrylic ) nails that I have been working on. The top set is a before and after. 

This set is a natural looking extensions that I have done. The first picture is without polish, and the second is polished. These are fab if you need something a litter longer, but don't want your nails to look very "fake". 

Nails:orange and yellow

Here is a sort of before and after of my nails.
This is nina pro like butta (yellow) base, with essie's orange it's obvious sponged on top. I the decided to add some gold glitter, and a little konad lighting bolt.

Simple but cute - do you agree? What have you been wearing on your fingers recently?

Nails: Water marbling weekend..

I wanted to try some more water marbling ideas I had been thinking about. I also wanted to try my new W7 glitter polishes that I picked up last weekend. Firstly I wanted to say how much I love the W7 glitter polishes, good coverage, and very sparkly.

Here are some photos:

<<< This is the purple glitter over, a colorclub grey- purple base, from the back to boho collection.
I just used one coat over the base colour, there are a few spots that are a little lacking in glitter, but as I knew I would be added my design over the top I decided against having yet another coat of nail polish on, as this is already three coats.

What is your favorite type of manicure?    <3

Nails: nude and pink

This is another quick and simple manicure today. Nude and pink. I showed you this nude here in September, but this time I added this shinny pink striping tape down the length of the nails slightly to one side.

I've been playing with tape a lot recently, so there will be plenty more nails using it to come.

Have you tried striping tape? What do you think?

Nails: Natural french manicure.

This is a very natural french manicure, with the idea being to just make the nails look clean and natural and not to "in you face" white.
I used Essie- ballet slippers for the tips, just one coat lightly applied, followed by a pearly pink from color club. I topped it all off with a good coat of seche vite.

Do you like your french manicure to be natural or to be bright white and "fake" looking?

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?
