In honour of Valentine's (I hate the holiday but I couldn't help myself) 

Candy Stripes. 

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! 

Holiday nails!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but yet again Uni calls! 

I did these leopard print nails whilst in Goa, and they got a good few likes on insto, so I thought I would share! 

The design is from the WAH nail art book. 

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! 

Neon Mani

I did these using my neon pens, just painting the tips. 

I prefer the yellow which I'm going to try on a full hand. 

Generic Halloween Nails

I did these last night whilst bored watching the Sixth Sense. 

They were quite rushed but turned out alright!

I did every nail different, I hope you can tell what they are. 

I did them using black, white, orange and green base colours and black and white stripers/pens.

 Its amazing how easy they were to do!

The cob web is my fave.

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. 

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Paisley Patterns

Whilst in Spain I've also done these nails for my sister. 

The pattern is a bit busy, maybe it would have looked nicer on just one nail, but I love all the different colours with the paisley on top. 

It's quite simple to do with a white nail tool and I followed a design that I found on Pinterest.
