Marcus Manis!

Marcus is back! It feels like ages since he has had a guest spot here!

As many of you will know Marcus is my father in law and he is also an artist. He regularly comes around and dones my nails for me. Its nice to have someone who supports my mad obsession and even joins in!

Marcus is a skilled painter and hes really good at making mosaics.. More on that very soon.
Today's nail art is based on the colourways of a beautiful picture he painted in 2000 and now proudly hangs in my living room!

I love the way this nail art came out. Its bright and summer orientated! I feel the lined gradient came out looking like a beautiful sunset.

What do you all think? Do you enjoy seeing what Marcus comes up with?

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!
