Leopard Grrrr'adient

Morning kids!!  I have had the worst flu EVER this last week so I hadn't painted my nails at all and i was having terrible withdrawals!  So I decided I needed something bright and wacky on my talons for this coming week ahead to cheer myself up!

The leopard gradient was born!

For the gradient I firstly painted my nails with a plain white polish and let this fully dry.  Next I used a make-up sponge dipped in both colours and literally dabbed onto my nail until the desired blend was achieved

The pink is Nicki Minaj for OPI Pink Friday and the purple is Revlon's Lilac (a current favourite colour of mine!)

I almost just left my nails at the gradient level.. but i had to take it a step further and add something a little extra, so I got out my new ASP Nail Art Brushes and added some leopard print with my YSL Noir Terriblement and Rimmel Peppermint 

I am really loving the gradient look at the moment.. are you??!

P-P-P-Paisley

Paisley is something I have wanted to try for aaaaages now!  I keep seeing them on Insta and Pinterest and thinking WOW I need to get me some of that!!

Here is my version of the Paisley nail..

I love this colour combo so much and will defo be using it together again!!  For the base of my feature Paisley nails I used 2 coats of a simple Collection 2000 white.  Once this was mega dry I used my mini-liner brush from my new ASP brushes collection to add the detailing.  For the colours I used Revlon's Lilac Pastelle, YSL's Terriblement Noir and China Glaze's For Audrey

Its surprisingly quite easy to acheive the intricate looking Paisley design with the help of some good polish and a mini fine brush.  I literally looked up a little inspiration on the pattern on line and translated it to my nail

I cannot wait for my next Paisley nail and will defo be using a range of different colours and designs as well as attempting to do every one of my nails!!

Are you a Paisley fan??

New Nail Art Tools

I have some amazing new brushes!!!  So I decided to dedicate a whole post to these bad boys, as before I purchased them I struggled to find any reviews on different nail art brushes.  I hope this post helps anyone in need of investing in some decent tools

I came across these ASP Nail Art Brushes brushes on a YouTube channel, and not only did they look beautiful but they seemed really great quality brushes

The set consists of a small square brush, a long striping brush, a liner brush and a mini-liner brush for extra fine work.  I gave all of the brushes a whirl last night and am completely in love with them!  They are def the best brushes I have used and cleaned up really well also.  The mini-liner brush has to be my favourite as you can really get those little details in there without messing up

You can find the brushes on ASPs site here and they are available in Sallys for all you discount card holders
