I've Missed Leopard!

I haven't done any leopard nail art in what feels like agesssss!! So last night I created this little beauty!  This was inspired by Kourteney Kardashian's top on an old episode of KUWTK!!

I used Wet n Wild white for the base colour x 2 coats.. and then sponged on Topshops "Naked" and a really super old reddy brown colour that I have no name for!??  Its in a Revlon type bottle so I am going to go with that!

I used my black liner pen for the leopard print and finished with a coat of Seche!

Gggggr!

St George's Day Contest Entry

Sooooooo glad to see another entry for my nail art contest as I was starting to think I wasn't going to get any more entries :(

This wicked design is from Vicky and its so fitting with the day as it is St George's Day in the UK!!  This is obviously what Vicky was inspired by and I think its great to see our English history and heritage out there as St George's Day is rarely celebrated in the UK which sucks!!

Vicky used OPI polishes for her design and some silver nail enamel for the dots which I think look like studs.. love it!

Good Luck!!  Keep entering people!

Clouds and Kites



I purchased this fabulous new baby blue colour and needed to try it out ASAP!  So this simple little sky design was a must, and i love it!

The blue I bought is from Topshop and is called "Celestial" - I actually googled this word as I had no idea what it means and this is the definition i got..

"Celestial - pertaining to the sky or visible heaven"

 So as the name suggest "sky" I guess I had to go with the sky theme!!

I used 2 coats of this blue over a base coat of Stickey by CND (i will be reviewing this soon).  The application is just lush on this polish and I love the colour, its exactly what I have been after for a while now!

For the clouds I used a medium dotting tool dipped in white polish and dotted on cloud shapes - this is so so easy you should give it a go!

I loved this look plain but me being a creative little bean I had to add something else!!  So out came my black liner pen and I drew on a kite on my thumb and a couple of bird shapes on my ring finger!  I think this really adds a little quirkiness to the whole look

Anyone else loving Topshops nail polishes?? I really cannot fault them!!!

Cherry Good!

I spent most of my weekend jazzing up my family and friend's nails!!

I did a Cherry mani on my friend Fran and I am in love with them!!  They are so fun and cute and SO easy to achieve!

For the base colour I used Topshop "Naked" x 2 coats.  For the cherry red I used Leighton Denny "Viva La Diva" and a dotting tool with a dot of white on top!

For the leaves I used Rimmels "Peppermint" and finished off with a coat of Seche Vite and a little diamante!!

I hope you think this is Cherry Goodness at its best!!

Vintage Wedding Nails



My big sister is director of an events company  (you can find her blog here) and on Sunday she was advertising at a Vintage Wedding Fare

The flowers in the candlestick holder was all made by her!! She is fabulous huh!?  She wanted some nails to match her vintage flower theme so I used the rose idea for her nails

For the base colour I used a custom Jessica nail polish with no name!! This is a really pearly light pink which is gorgeous but takes a longggg time to dry!

For the roses I used Revlon "Classy" and Wet n Wild White mixed with a dotting tool and for the leaves I used Rimmel Professional Finish in "Peppermint"

I also added tiny pale yellow dots of polish and tiny half pearls to tie the colours in with my sisters flowers and theme

I am a huge fan on vintage and I think I will be experimenting with more vintage themed nail art!
