Palm Tree Sunsets


This picture quality is shocking but here are my most recent nails. 

Gradient pink to orange to yellow, with palm trees painted over the thumb and ring finger. 

Managed to do this on both hands which I was pleased with! 

Hope you like!

Colourful Gradients and Mixed designs


People need to understand how simple it is to do gradients!

Yes, it can get messy but to get a look this effective? who cares!

I love all the different colours fading into each other, and the designs on top just give it something extra.

I'm definitely going to try this again with the same design on each nail as this can look a bit busy, I can just never decide on one thing!

Pink Hearts and Sparkle


I love this sweet and simple design. 

I did base colours of different shades of pink, finishing with white on the pinky. Then using a contrasting colour, did the hearts using a small dotting tool. 

The sparkly nail on the ring finger just brakes up the pattern a bit more and makes the design even more girly! 

Rainbow Dots


I did these using a dotting tool and tape to do the line at the bottom. 

They remind me of an artists painting palette, love the bright colours.

Spotty Clusters


These were inspired by some nails I saw on a nail board on Pinterest (below). 

I did the base coats and then did the spots using a dotting tool. 

Its so simple and easy to do and looks quite effective, love them!

Black to Metallic Gradients


Not my best set but I did these to match a dress I was wearing this weekend!

I painted a base coat and black, then rolled silver and metallic green over the tips.

I Love NY


I did these for my friend who went to New York for a trip. 
I used my black and red nail tools for the lettering and I hope she liked them!

Cherry blossoms in Lilac and Mint


These are so simple to do!

After applying a base and colour coat I used a dotting tool (use a tooth pick if you don't have one) to do the darker pink, with smaller, lighter pink dots on top and then fill in the gaps with white dots. 

Really effective and lovely for the last dose of summer!

Festival Nails


I'm going to a festival this weekend and these are the nails I decided to do!

They are pretty simple so I am able to do them on both hands (unskilled left hand)

I used a sponge to do the gradient red/orange/yellow and green nails, then did patterns over the top, leopard print and a peace sign, with a black tool and left the ring finger a plain metallic to break it up a bit. 

Hope you like them, have a good weekend guys!
