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!!

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!

Galaxy Nails: Take 2

Hey guys!

I know that I keep on saying that I'll be back with more designs but I haven't and I do apologize about that but I had to finish uni and then study for my exams so I found no time to post designs but i did take photos so I'm a tad back dated! which is in the process of being sorted out! So I have finished uni for he Summer which means that I can now spend more time on new designs!!

But for the time being I have another set of Galaxy Nails for you which I did on my own nails as opposed to doing them on fake nails and I loved this on my nails and I also got so many compliments on it!!

The thing I love about these types of designs is that I have never had one finger the looks the same and so they're always so varied and colourful! Because these nails were done with the exact same colours as before but they turned out so differently which I love!

I hope you all like these!!

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!!

Lolly POPS!

Hi Guys!

I was playing about with some ideas and I decided that I wanted to do something to do with gradients.

As much as I love the gradient ones, I decided to do last more colourful one on my nails and I think that they're so suitable for this time of year I absolutely love them! :D

I hope you all liked this!!

Happy Easter!!

Hey Guys!!

I wasn't going to do anything for Easter but I all of a sudden got very excited for Easter so I decided to paint some stuff!

I hope you all have a Brilliant Easter and I hope you like these! 

Gradient nails!

Hi guys!!

The previous design that I posted used sponging and so I wanted to take this fairly simple technique and try my hand at gradient nails. I've seen these nails everywhere and I've never tried it before so with the confidence gained from the nebula design I decided to give it a try!

I know that it isn't exactly awe inspiring but it is my first attempt so please bear with me until I can get the blending of the two colours just right! I am thinking of experimenting with three shades instead of the two for making a better, more successful transition between the darkest and lightest shades. In this photo I only used two shades of green and it worked to a certain extent however I think adding a third shade will make them blend so much better and so I shall post my experimental nails as soon as I do them!

I hope you all like! 

Galaxy/Nebula Nails!!!

Hi Guys!

I am so, so excited to share these with you! I absolutely love these and I think that they look so nice and pretty! Although the camera I used is showing the orange/yellow as brown so I might have to get a better camera for this design but I couldn't wait till then!

They were so much more simple than I anticipated when using a sponge. I know that there's a huge number of tutorials and guides on how to get these nails but I thought that I'd just tell you what I did.

1. I painted a base of either black, dark purple or dark blue depending on how I wanted the nail to look. However what I found when I was sponging was that I covered the majority of the base colour so as long as the base is a dark colour then it didn't  really matter.
2. I then took a selection of some colours of nail polish (I took a lot just to experiment with and I really loved how it turned out with many colours!) I had a look on Tumblr of Nebulas and took my colour selections from there!
3. I then took an ordinary kitchen sponge and cut it up to make small pieces. (I think most people use a make up sponge but considering that I don't use them or own any then I used what came to hand and that was a kitchen sponge cut up.)
4. I sponged on white first to get the shape and direction that I wanted the Nebula to go in and then added the colours on top of that. This also helped the colours to stand out better against the dark base.
5. I then sponged the appropriate colours on to make it blend and I then added other colours to add more dimention to the design.
6. I then took a cocktail stick or tooth pick and added small dots and few larger ones to represent stars.
7. I then added a top coat and what I found was that it was better to add a thicker layer of top coat when the design was a little bit wet just because it made the colours blend nicely. But just remember to use a very light touch when you're applying the top coat to wet polish just becasue its then that it's possible to drag the design and also to use a thick layer of top coat too!
8. Then wait for it to dry and go and show everyone what you have done! That's exactly what I did!
 



These are the base colours that I used and the top coat that I am using just now!





These are the cool toned colours that I used to sponge on the nebulas (apart from the yellow but that's ok! Ha!)

 These are the warm toned colours that I used to create the Nebulas and the white polish that I used first.

I Hope you all love these as much as I do!! 

'Oh! 'Eat me'. All right. But goodness knows what this will do...'

Hi guys!

I think I saved the best and my favourite one for last! I'm so, so happy at how this one turned out. It's so girly and cute and I don't think it would be out of place in the wee box full of growth sweets/biscuits.

I really, really hope you all like this as much as I do!! 

'Of course not. This is an unbirthday party.'

Hi Guys!

I left my favourite character for last! The Mad Hatter! He is just sheer brilliance. He loves tea just as much as I do and he's a tad loopy which I really love about him!!

Hi Guys!

I'm posting my Cheshire Cat design. He is one of my most favourite characters of the whole film! I only included his mouth with a really wide smile because that's the most striking thing about him! The colours also seem to be a bit too dark for him but I actually really like that fact!

Hope you all liked this!!

Hi Guys!

Today, believe it or not I'm posting one of the flowers, I think it's called a pansie. I think they are so cute in the film! My design is more probably an insult to Disney but I love it. (Sorry! Ha!)

Hope You All Like This! 

'Off with their heads!!'

Hey guys!!

The first design of this series is the Queen of Hearts Crown. It is very simple indeed so I decided to dust sone gold glitter over the crown to make it a tad more interesting!

Hope You All Like It!

Alice In Wonderland!!

Hi guys!

I decided that I wanted to start a little kind of series, so I chose to do a set of nine designs based on one of my favourite Disney films, Alice In Wonderland. I really enjoyed coming up with designs for them so I am considering doing this for other films or just anything really that I love. What do you all think? As always they are simple designs but I love them all so I'm really happy with this!

I also feel as if I've neglected you guys so this series idea is perfect!

HOPE YOU LIKE THIS!! 

Black Triangles!!

I was watching Rihanna's new video for You da one and I really liked the nails that she was wearing. I then was looking through Nailporn Nails Tumblr when I saw some really good photos of them so last saturday when I was heading out to a gig and I wanted to add something easy and simple on top of a nice silver base that I had borrowed from one of my friends the night before! This was done simply by using cellotape. But I was in such a rush that I didn't wait for the black to try so it's a bit raggidy and the triangles are not exactly perfectly triangular. But I've had so many compliments on these nails and for them being so simple it's really nice to hear! Haha!

Here's a link to the NailPorn Tumblr if you haven't seen it already. If not then I strongly suggest that you go have a look I love looking through this Tumblr! http://thisisnailporn.tumblr.com/

Hope you like them!!
