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.4 - Half and Half Sparkle

I love this design, red and gold with white and silver. 

The gold is Barry M, who retweeted when I posted this and tagged them! 

Such an easy design, half the nail one colour, half the nail another and use your black pen tool to squiggle in the centre! 

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!

Kisses

This design is so cute! 

Little pink lips, done with a red nail pen, a crackle nail as well as half and half with sparkle.

The lips were taken from the WAH nail book I blogged about a while back. 

Stripey Stripes

I've been practising my stripes using my stripers and here are a few designs I've come up with! 

Geometric patterns and shades of pink with white verticals. 

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.

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!

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!

Hello Kitty Nails

My little cousin loves Hello Kitty, so when I told my Auntie I could do the design on nails, she had me do them for her, my cousin loved them!

the pinky went a bit wrong!
