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! 

WAH Nails Nail Art Book Inspo

Some friends gave me 'The WAH Nail Book of Nail Art' (available from River Island) for my birthday which is an ideal gift!

The book has so many ideas and inspiration in it.

I couldn't decide on one design so I tried a few and I love how it turned out as a mixture.

I did all of them using a base coat and my black and white striper and pen tools.

I love the bow, although hard to do left handed! And the flowers, they are different from my usual ones so I love how they turned out! 

Can't wait to try out more designs from WAH nails. 

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!

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! 

Tribal Tips

I'm on holiday seeing family in Spain at the moment, so I've been doing a lot of nails. 

Here are the first set. 

I saw this style on Pinterest in different colours and thought I'd try it myself. 

I went with pink and purple from Barry M, and used my white and black nail tools for the tips and stripe on my ring finger. 

I really love this design, its simple but effective.
