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.

Happy Movember!


Its the start of November (depressing) which means its the month in which all grown men grow moustaches, originally meant to raise money for charity, but now a humorous test for manliness. 
However, I have done these Movember nails, in honour of this event. 
I did them using black and white pens over a base coat. 
Surprisingly simple to do and there are tons of tutorials online to show you how.
If I had enough time (hopefully a possible idea for next year) I would put these designs onto fake nails, sell them, and give the proceeds to charity.
So girls could be part of Movember too!

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. 

Sparkly Sparkle


This picture is shoddy quality but you get the idea!
I bought gold sparkly polish from barry M the other day, and this is how it turned out!
I painted on a black base coat and then applied the gold to the tips, graduating less further up the nail.
 I love the effect so much. 
Definitely going to do this again with different colours!

Half and Half


This style is popping up every where, and yet again, its really easy to do! 
Paint half your nail a plain colour, I used purple. Then paint the other half glitter. The line doesn't have to be neat because your going to go over it. 
Either using a black precision pen or a dotting tool, paint squiggly lines down the centre of the nail. 
Put on a top coat and its done.
Its a really nice effect and can be done in all sorts of ways.
