First Attempt at One Stroke!

I have been trying to learn one stroke nail art. MAN its hard!

I practise every now and then when I have time but I need to give it alot more time.

This is the first time I have risked ruining a mani haha. I don't think it turned out too bad for a first proper attempt.

I used a one stroke brush from Moyra UK to do these and also the St Petersburg brush. I love Moyra Brushes! They are great quality and I swear they make all the difference. I spent years trying to get by with cheap eBay ones and I swear these have already improved my nail art loads!

The polishes are Tropical storm by Happy Hands and Essies Shes Pampered. My fave red EVER!

What do you think of my first attempt?? Id love some tips too if anyone has any!? I'm currently watching A LOT of YouTube videos mainly by Cute Nails. 

Arsenal Nail Art

I hate football, like literally cannot stand it!

BUT my husband is soo supportive of my nail and all the stuff that comes along with it that I thought I would do an art just for him :)

The shot of the cannon is terrible and to be fair the cannon is pretty crap too but I havent done any hand painting in a while.I am quite happy with the result.

I chose to do the number 10 as my husbands fave player was Dennis Bergkamp. 

I used Essie Shes Pampered and BarryM Foil Effects in Gold. The rest is acrylic paint. 

The studs are from the Born Pretty Store.

What do you think? What is your fave team?

Watercolour Style Nail Art

Hello! 

I feel like its been ages since my last post, Ive been super busy with some top secret things! 

All will be revealed in Oct. 

Here I have a watercolour style nail art. I used my Squishy Stamper to achieve this look and it was sooo simple. 

I used Essie's Butler Please and Shes Pampered. 

The base is BarryM Matt White.

I placed a blob of each on a mixing palette then picked it up with my stamper and repeatedly stamped it over my nail until I was happy with the look. 

This is the first attempt and it could have been better but i still love it! The way the blue mixes into the red is lush! 

For some reason the red isnt being picked up properly on my camera. I have tried to edit it so you an see it but still its a bit naff. Sorry!

One other thing.... The clean up is, well, a pain in the ass. But maybe if I had thought about it I should have masking taped my fingers. 

Artsy Rose Nail Art

Today 2 of my new stamping plates by Cheeky turned up.... 

So expect to see lots of stamping from now on! 

This is from the Home Sweet Home Jumbo plate 2013. 

I purchased them from +Amazon.co.uk. But because they came directly from Asia they took approx 12 working days to arrive. 

They have a nice range of patterns on. The full designs are a lot bigger than usual, but this isn't necessarily a good thing. looking at a few designs I am wondering if they will even fit on my nails. 

Only time will tell I suppose. 

But i really am looking forward to trying the new designs as there are some really funky ones! 

Products Used 

CND Sticky Base

BarryM Matte White 

Essie She's Pampered

Konad Special Polish in Black 

Seche Vite 

To do this I made circles in Shes Pampered first then indiviually stamped over them after. 

I think this does look a bit messy but i actually really like that, this pattern reminds me of Clarice Cliff in some ways. 

This also fits in to the new white nail trend! I have seen a lot of people wearin white nail polish recently, i remember the first time I wore white nail polish a few years ago.....

 My auntie said it looked like Tip-Ex LOL....
