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?

Leaf Studded Design

 

Using OPIs Stranger Tides and Don't Mess With OPI i created a mani inspired by the great outdoors.

I used Cheeky Plate CH33 And Konad Special Polish in White for the leaf design.

The Black Studs are from Born Pretty and can be bought HERE

The Born Pretty Store is based in China so the delivery to the UK takes about 12ish days but they have a wide range and the prices are very good.

 

I used nail glue to attach the studs so i could make sure they wouldn't pop off, i also have a habit of picking at 3D embellishments so the glue helps to keep them in place :)
