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!

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.

Another Mash Up


I dont usually stick to one design on my nails, I like to test which ones I like, which ends up with loads of different ones. 
So using my nude Topshop colour (which I'm obsessed with) some black Barry M and white, I did a sort of geometric triangle, stripes, half leopard print, geometric stripes, and a bow. 

I always think the leopard comes out nice and I love the triangular patterns. 
I can just never decide on one!
curse of being a libra.. 

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!

A bit of Stray news!



A few cool things happened this week, unfortunately not for the blog, but for my nails I guess! 
Firstly my christmas nails from yesterday were retweeted by Grazia for manicure monday. 
I then started getting followed by Barry M!

Exciting stuff, moving up in the world of nails!

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!
