Cute button nails



Since you guys seem to love my nail posts and request them quite a bit I thought since I had just done something new on my nails I'd show you. I actually came up with this idea last night and tried it on one of my practice wheels. I loved the way it turned out so I tired it on my nails today! I love the look of the cute button nails and I've never seen anyone else do them before! If you want to know any colours that I used or how to do these, please do let me know in the comments.  Hopefully I will have other nail tutorials up in then near future!
If you try this yourself feel free to show me on twitter or instagram!

simple but easy festive nails

A simple and easy way to make your nails look festive. I think it looks really festive and its really easy to do! Just chose your base colour. I went for an icey blue because I wanted that winter wonderland effect. Then i just added two different glitters because I couldnt choose just one! So I used a fine silver glitter and then a silver glitter with big bits of blue and purple glitter in to make it look that bit more festive. You could always use a red  base and use a gold glitter so that they look more christmasy.  Let me know what you think and will you being try this instead of doing nail art?

Pink on nude flower nails


Heeey!
So I know you all enjoy seeing my nails when I've done some nail art on them. I'm not sure why but I just fancied doing some nail art today and this is what they turned out like.  They can look very complicated to do but honestly they are not at all, you just need the patients and time to do them. I wasn't expecting mine to turn out as well as they have but I am very pleased with them, especially my right hand because I'm right handed I find it difficult to do both hands neatly. I guess it takes practise. There not very wintery but I guess you could do them in more winter colours. I just wanted to use pink since I thought the pink and nude would look lovely together.

If you have any questions about the colours I've used or anything else leave them in the comments and ill be sure to let you know.

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.

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 ?
