How to: Polka dot nails



Heeey!
I've been requested a couple of times to do some sort of nail art tutorials for nail art I've posted before, so today I'm going to explain to you how to just do an easy polka dot nail tutorial. Just to start of with and for mine own sake because I wasn't really sure how to set it out in the way of showing you. 

The picture above is pretty self explanatory and is super easy to follow. You just need the nail polishes of your choice and a dotting tool or you could use a bobby pin because it looks the same. I've used Models Own polishes in 'Beth's Blue' and 'Raspberry Crush' and my dotting tool is from ebay and they weren't expensive at all.

I'll let the picture show you how to do it instead of me rambling on for no reason and as its super easy to do.

Hope you enjoyed this post, I know its easy but I just wanted to show you how I do it.
Let me know if you want any other tutorials in the comments.

Nail of the day 006: Flowers

Hey girlie's!
I wasn't a bit hesitant to do this post today since it would mean two nail post in a row but then I thought you guys wouldn't really mind since my nail posts get a lot of positive comments. Yesterday after posting my nail art post I decided I wanted to do some nail art on my own nails. I was quite impressed with how they turned out. There don't really go with the autumn colours but oh well. So here's what they came out like..



Nail polishes used:
BarryM : Turquoise
Revlon: Peach pink
Revlon: Passion fruit

Hope you enjoyed this post!
If you want a tutorial please let me know.

Just some nail art 001

Okay so as you might know I love painting my nails all the time, what you might not have known is that I love doing nail art in my spare time which I have quite a lot of since I made a stupid mistake and didn't apply for college for various personal reasons but lets not get in to that on here. After my cupcake nail post got a lot of great and positive comments! I  thought now was a great time to show you some of the other nail art I've done.

Now  I know I'm not the best at nail art but if you want any tutorial posts on how to do any of these then please just let me know I will be more than happy do them for you. I'm sorry these pictures aren't the best quality but its the best I can do at the moment.




Really hope you enjoyed this post let me know what you think and if you want tutorials.

Nail of the day 005 :Cupcakes

I've been dying write this post all day but I've only just got round to doing it. Lets just say today hasn't been the greatest but I'm not going to say on here because its personal. Anyway today I went a bit well a lot more adventurous with my nail varnish. I decided I'd do some nail art on them and chose to do a cupcake on one of my nails. I would be more than happy to try and do a tutorial post on how to do this but I feel there's more than plenty about   - but let me know and ill do it if you guys want me too.

Once again it's another short post from me. I hope you don't mind! I'll have more interesting posts soon hopefully.

Pastel Nail Trend

L-R; Barry M -Pure turquoise|Revlon-Peach petal|Miss Sporty- 35(no name)|e.l.f- Lilac|NYC-Mint macaroon


As most people probably know pastel colours are really in this year. I have always been a fan of pastel colour especially when it comes to nail varnish. I am known to pretty much always have my nails painted. When i go to paint my nails in the spring/summer time these are the colours i tend to go for about 90% of the time. Everyone of these nail polishes are available in the UK and in either Boots or Superdrug apart from e.l.f Lilac which is available at eyeslipsface and even better they are all under the £5 price mark!! These nail varnishes are quite opaque for the price as well and you only need two coats. The swatches above are only one coat which isnt too bad considering the price and how light the colours are. so if you are looking for some lovely and affordable pastel nail varnishes then i would really recommend trying out these.

What are your favourite nail varnishes for the spring/summer time ?
