Nautical Style Nail Art

 Nautical nails are one of my favorite designs to do. I have no idea why, but I especially love an anchor lol!

I hand painted the anchor, but now I look back at it, it looks a tad naff lol

I did this design for the Nail Polish Lovers group on Google+ 

Products used 

Cheeky plates CH36 and CH 49 and Konad stamping polish in black and white. 

Essie Butler Please and BarryM Blueberry Ice Cream 

Whats your fave theme of nail art to do? 

Nautical Nails again :)

 

 I apologise for the messiness of this application, i had a few problems with this design and i was getting abit annoyed ;P

 

OK so here we have another nautical design using Barry M polishes.

I used Cheeky Plate CH36 from the summer 2012 collection.

Stamped using Barry M Gelly Pomegranate and Blackberry.

Base is Barry M White

Holographic striping tape and diamante to finish.

I do love this design as i really like this stamp, but i maybe should have kept all the nails the same design as i think it looks abit "busy"

 

I used Lumos top coat to help the tape stay down and i left the polish a good hour before applying and is STILL smudged the stamping.

does anyone have any tips on how i can prevent this?

I'm thinking of changing to Seche Vite as i find the Lumos only completely dries on professional polishes and not on budget or high street ranges. I find it works really well on China Glaze for instance but not very well on say Barry M or Kleancolor.
