Tie Dye Leopards!!

Hi Guys!!

I've just realise that I've went straight back into my leopard print obsession and I will try my hardest to get out of this rut!
But these are my favourite nails to date I think just because they are so colourful and Summery!
The process for doing the backgroud was that I chose 4 different colours for each nail and sponged then on to make a blended mix of awesome colourfulness and I did this on my best friends nails and I had to copy it because I was so jealous that I had done this on her nails and not my own! Haha! But I added Leopard Print on top and now that she has seen this she wants this done too!

I hope you all like these!!

My opinion on fake nails!

Hey Guys!

Ever since I started doing nail art I have never really been interested in wearing fake nails because i could always just paint my own nails instead! But last week I went to a party for one of my friends birthdays and so I did 2 of my other friends nails for it the night before so because I knew I that I wouldn't have any time to do my own nails then I decided that I would finally try fake nails!

I had always heard that they can really damage your nails due to the glue that you need to use (but I;m not entirely sure that this is fact or not!). So I decided to Google whether or not you could simply use a top coat to apply then to which I found that you could but however they wouldn't understandably last as long as they would if you had used glue. And they really didn't lie! Haha! I stuck them on during the day a few hours before the party adn when I first stuck them on they felt SO strange and it took me a good few hours before they felt any sort of normal!
When I got to the party for a few hours they were fine but after, I would say Midnight (and admittedly, a few drinks! Ha!) they started to fall off and to be honest were just such a hassle! constantly having to watch what I was doing just in case another fell off and also after I had lost one I felt so self concious that people were looking at my missing nail!
But this may be my fault because I was thinking about it after it happened and maybe I just sized them wrong but im not sure because I did actually take my time!

So to conclude my fake nail experience I think from now on  I'll just make the time to paint my natural nails and the worst case scenario would be that on a night out they chip a tad rather than coming off completely! But anyways I'll include photos of what they looked like because I did really love the design!
 P.s. Sorry for the rant but I wanted to share! Ha!

I hope you all liked my rant!!

Glitter Leopards!

Hi!!

Just some glittery leopards! The base is Barry M - Blue Glitter! 

A beetlejuiced Leopard?!

Hey!!

This design was done by using my Models Own Beetlejuice nail polish (which I have a review on) used for the print itself on  a background of coral and I think that the colours go brilliantly!

Realistic vs Colourful!

Hey Guys!!

I have been doing leopard print nails for a while now and this design has become one of my favourites but I realised that I have always chosen really bright colours! And so I decided that I would do a more realistic colour choice to see if I liked it or not. And after I painted it I decided that I really like it (even though it isn't fully realistic because I sponged on some gold to make it a bit less flat! Ha!)
However because I love colour so much I do prefer mosr colourful leopard prints but I can appreciate the more realistic colour choice because it looks a lot more grown up and understated compared to the bright colours!

What do you think? Do you prefer the more colourful colour choices or the more realistic ones?

Gradient Leopard Print!!

Hey Guys!

I wanted to apply the gradient thing onto one of my favourite designs and I think it turned out really well! I will be wearing this lots nad lots this Summer but changing the colours!

I only tried this out with pinks and blues but I'm interested to see what it would look like in other colours and I'll be sure to upload photos of other colours when I do them!

I Hope you all like this!!

What I actually did while I took a break!!

I know I previously said that I didn't really do anything worth posting during that break but I kind of did!
The first one I did was a full set of press on nails that I painted for a friend for Christmas, I also did another set for her mum too which were red glitter and gold polka dots which looked lovely but I forgot to photograph them and then I also painted a set for another friend which had a gold base and black leopard print which looked so nice too but again I didn't photograph them!! I also know that the quality of the photo is rubbish but it was only ever taken to show my friend what she was getting and to see if they were ok for her and they had everything she asked for!

Then the next design was just a spur of the moment decision. I went to the pub with my big sister and her Fiance to watch the Old Firm game on the 28th of December and I needed to do my nails. I'm pretty sure that no one will know what the Old Firm is so I shall explain! Ha! I'm from Glasgow and the football team that I support is Celtic! Their rival team from Glasgow is Rangers and both teams are collectively known as the Old firm so in essence an Old Firm game is simply a Derby game against two rivla teams! Anyway! Celtics top is green and white hoops and so I used these colours in my design and although I didn't use stripes which probably would have been better I chose to do leopard print with a green tip and white base so they went well with the pub we went to and Celtic colours too!

I really do hope that you all like this, and I know that you might be getting a bit frustrated that I've posted so much leopard print this past while but I just love it so much and it is seriously my favourite design to do. But out of fairness and my love of you guys I will try my hardest to stop posting so much leopard print stuff in future! I promise!! Ha!

Even More Leopard Print!!

I wanted to upload these before I started my Christmas designs tomorrow! If you haven't guessed by now I'm really enjoying leopard print nails! Haha! I did these for my best friend at the weekend. I really love the colours together I think they work so well because they are just simple monochrome and I also like the cross on the ring finger! Hope you like too!

Simple and Colourful!

As per usual I was having such a hard time deciding what I wanted to do on my nails but I've found that when this happens I tend try a few different things. This time I started with matte black nails but they chipped after a day, that's what doing a lab in uni will do to you though! Ha! Then I decided to paint my nails red and add a red glitter and then a silver glitter and I really liked how they looked and sparkled but I smudged them like the silly goose I am! So I then thought that I'd get my act together and do another simple, not very time consuming design. And this is what I decided to do. And I know that the colours aren't very Wintry but I love it so I'm not really fussed! I think these turned out really quite well especially considering that I had no idea of what I wanted to do when I started!

Even More Leopard Print!!

The top photo is what I did on my friends nails last night! I think the colours she chose are so Christmasy! This has made me so excited for Christmas so I decided to draw up some things that I wanted to do on my nails during Christmas time! I CAN'T WAIT!!
The other photos are my own nails! This past wee while I've been really liking leopard print and I'm so, so happy that I actually tried it and it worked out! The base, painted on by a friend, is Models Own glitter in Juicy Jules, which just happens to be one of my favourite glitters! I love the colourful holographic pieces that run through it! But I was worried that because the glitter is quite chunky and so leaves a bumpy texture to my nails which would mean that the leopard print would run together. So I had to make sure that the lines were thin or far away enough so that they didn't run together! Because when I practised this, the lines running together was such a big problem! The bottom photo is intentionally blurry so I could show just how pretty this glitter is!

Leopard Print!

I've always wanted to be able to do these ever since I started to follow Wah-Nails and, not to toot my own horn but I really can't believe that I managed to do these! I Practised these all day yesterday (a bit sad I know! :P)  and I couldn't wait to try them!
