Fantasy Stamping Nail Art

Yay, nail mail day!
I have finally received some, not all, of my stamping plates. I ordered these about 3 weeks ago from Aliexpress.
I don't mind waiting when they are this cheap mind you and the ones I have tried so far stamp perfectly well.

Today I have a nail art featuring plate KD27. I think this might be a cheaper version of a more expensive plate? This plate picked up perfectly fine, I had no problems at all :)

To see what I created please join me after the jump!

Mountain Nail art

Hello my lovelies! 

The wether has been so bleugh here! 

yesterday we had our father in law round and he is an artist so as you can imagine we were sat talking and painting for a while lol! 

So this is what we came up with..... 

Marcus *father in law* gave me some tips and painted some things for me to copy. 

I actually found this okay to do, not too hard! 

Okay so we have mountains,birds, a kite and a hot air balloon. 

I used Essie's Butler Please and Avenue Maintain and a little BarryM at the bottom of the gradient. 

The rest is acrylic paints. 

So what do you think? I think the gradient could have been better but its all good practice! 

Mr Bump Nail Art!

I'm back baby!! 

Last week I dropped the laptop and smashed the screen DOH! 

I now have it back so normal blogging can resume!! 

In honor of the constant mishaps in my life, here's Mr Bump!

Products Used

Essie Avenue Maintain 

BarryM Confetti in Bubblegum 

BarryM Matt White

Acrylic Paint

This post is also the first post using my new Canon and the first time I have used watermarks. 

What do you think? Are watermarks necessary, do they detract from the photo? 

Cute Lines and Bows Nail Art

First off let me apologize for my very poorly looking fingers. I have rather neglected my hands this week as my hubby has been off work and we have spent the time going out to various places with the kids.... 

Mainly involving dinosaurs LOL

I am really happy today as my new bulb for my lamp came and as it a daylight bulb it works so much better in regards to picture taking. 

As many of you may know I only have time to blog in the late evenings when the babbys are in bed so a good lamp is essential to me. 

Anywho, enough babbling lets get to the nails! 

Today I have a very cute nail art! 

I created this look using 3 Essie polishes..

Avenue Maintain (blue) Go Ginza (light pink) and Bond with Whomever (darker pink)

I used the ole Striping tape to create this look. 

Painting the colours between lines of striping tape using a thin brush, on top of Go Ginza as a base colour. 

Then removing the striping tape whilst the polish is still wet. 

The lines haven't come out as crisp as usual but I still think it looks super pretty. 

The bows are a pearlescent yellow and were sent to me by Sparkly Nails. 

I really like these bows as they are a lot more practical than the massive bows i usually use, plus they are just so cute!

You can purchase these bows and other nail art things HERE

*some of these products were sent to me for an HONEST review. The views on this product are COMPLETELY my own.*

Royal Baby, Prince George of Cambridge Inspired Nail Art

Wonderful news this week about the birth of Prince William's and Princess Kate baby boy. He has been named George Alexander Louis, The Prince of Cambridge. 

I just had to do some sort of nail art to commemorate the birth, so here it is!

FYI I hate stamping individual images and these are wonky (as always) sorry!

I used Essie's Butler Please and Avenue Maintain, BarryM Foil Effects in Gold and nail art pearls from ebay. 

The glitter is 24 Carat by Kleancolor.

Bundle Monster plate BM-215

In hindsight I think the footprints would have bee better if they were bigger but i still like this royal mani :) 

Congrats to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!

Have you done anything to commemorate the birth? 

Hope you all have had a good week!
