Island Daisy

 I love this colour and when i saw it on my nails I thought daisies would look lovely. 

They would have looked lovely, if I could do them! 

The base is Island Coral by Sinful Colors. Pictured here with 2 coats and Poshe topcoat.

For some reason i just couldn't get these too look good and then ended up messing one up completely. 

So here's my attempt at daisies. 

more practise needed!

Trees Against a Sunset Nail Art

Its been hot here recently, I decided to use my oranges. 

I don't use them that much but whenever I do I remember how beautiful they are. 

To do this I used 

Essie's Fear and Desire, Orange it Obvious and Flawless. 

BarryM's Bright Pink 

Oumaxi Acrylic Paint in black and white. 

To achieve the background I painted 2 coats of Essie Flawless (light pink). Then used a sponge to mottle over the different colours until it looked good :P 

One thing that did annoy me was for some reason i kept getting little bits coming off the sponge!

 This is another really easy one to do, so give it ago! 

Anniversary Rose Nails

 

 Its our third wedding anniversary today so i thought i would do a little nail art to celebrate whilst my husbands at work.

This is OPI Gouda Gouda Two Shoes. 2 Coats here with a Poshe topcoat.

It is a truly beautiful copper rose shade with a shimmer. Unfortunately you cannot really see the shimmer here and it is subtle. If you squint you can see it LOL

I used Oumaxi White acyclic paint to do the roses. 

These are my first roses ever and I think I did okay!

 I chose white as my wedding flowers were white roses.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar with New Acrylic Paints

 My son made me a very hungry caterpillar at playgroup today and i couldn't resist having a go at a nail art!

I am gutted! As i was uploading the pictures i realised i had forgotten to put any legs on the poor bug!!

 

This is the first time i have used acrylic paint instead of nail polish for a nail art. 

The white is BarryM in White.

I purchased a set of nail acrylic paint from +eBay from China. I had to wait a few weeks for delivery but that's okay as they cost £3.50. 

The brand is Oumaxi and they are really good, not too thick or thin. I found them really easy to use.

I also purchased a new nail art brush, from eBay, also from China. When it arrived it came with a Born Pretty business card so I assume its from their eBay site. 

I only payed 50p for it! The handle is made out of bamboo and it okay but i need more practice.

So do you remember this book? Was it one of your favorites?
