Tribal Print

I booked a holiday to indonesia yesterday for August and I'm so excited!

I did some tribal inspired nails for the occasion as they are quite summery and its a worldly design. 

I just used a base colour and my pens to do different designs using pinterest and the new topshop collection (below) for a bit of inspo. 

The designs are quite busy, and I think in this case less would be more, but you don't know until you try! 

Lost my OPI virginity

My sister bought me my first OPI nail varnish for christmas and I love it! 

I got Big Apple Red and Do You Lilac It? 

The colours are quite random but I needed them for my collection so I was super pleased!

I used the red to do this bow design which is really cute. 

Happy 2013!

Christmas Nails No.3 - Presents, Tree, Dots and Sparkles

I did these quite a while ago, but forgot to post them! 

Not my best but quite christmassy! 

Christmas No.2 - Candy canes, snowmen and Glitter

Here is my second design for my Christmas themed nails! There will probably be a lot of these! I used a white base and shimmery red striper to create the candy cane stripes.
I then painted pale blue with white blobs for the snow man using my dotting tool. I have him some arms, buttons and a hat with my black striper.
My ring finger is my favourite, red shimmer with gold Barry M glitter, I might do a whole hand in this!
So it's a bit of a mixture today to test out the designs, but stay with me for more of these cute Christmas designs!

Cath Kidston inspired nails

I did these by applying a base coat, adding a straight white line in the middle, dotting white along the line, and then adding flowers. They are done by randomly dotting large dark pink, and lighter smaller pink dots on top. Add some little leaves with a brush and enjoy your cath kidston style nails!

Panda and Dots

I love this little panda design. Done on the tip of the nail using white with a brush and black detail with a little brush.

To make sure it wasn't too busy with panda's I did white bases with black dots on the other nails.

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!

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!

Summer Doodling

I have a few days to kill on my nails before I do them properly for a weekend festival so I just played around with doing different designs on my new orange colour with a black tool. 

I seriously need to learn how to do it on my right hand!
