O.P.I Marbled with Bow

 Here is my NOTD. A marbled accent nail with a bow, that i actually purchased from Poundland! 

I used Dutch Ya Just Love OPI and If You Moust You Moust. Both by OPI. 

Dutch Ya Just Love OPI is a beautiful purple with a subtle gold glitter. 

Perfect coverage in 2 coats. 

To do the marble all i did was used a dotting tool to mix together a few bigger blobs of polish on my nails. I love simple designs like this as they take no time to do and still look good and alot better than just plain old polish :) 

Leopard Nails,Roar!

I'm feeling feisty today so here are some gradient leopard print nails.

Ive never done free hand leopard print before and it was soo easy! Just use a dotting tool to place you main colour then draw black around in a broken circle.

I think i may have put too many actual print marks on though as they look a bit crowded?

Here's how i did it.....

Three coats of Essie-- Neo Whimsical

which doesn't give a complete streak less covering but it doesn't matter as Ill gradient over it.

Then do the gradient using a sponge, I literally used a washing up sponge, a brand new one obviously :P

I used Essie--Flawless

this also doesn't have to be super good as you'll be painting over the top.

Then add the print. I used Kleancolor--Neon Aqua for the blue and Barry M--Black for the outline.

Barry M polish was abit thin to be fair but its the only black i could find! Surprisingly as i own sooo much polish!

And that's it!

Aboriginal Inspired Nails

 

This boomerang was bought for us by my husbands step father on his recent trip to Australia.

 

I love aboriginal art and just had to give it a go.

 

these nails are relatively simple to do and i used

Base: Maybelline Color Show- Midnight Taupe

Dots:China Glaze-Papaya Punch

Barry M Gelly: Blackberry

Sinful Colours: Exotic Green

Kleancolor:Catch me

Kleancolor:Neon Yellow

17:Risky Red

NYC:french tip white

and a dotting tool. Smaller dots for the filler and a larger one for the main dots

 

The only thing to bare in mind is the colours used for the dots need to be opaque in one coat so they stand out against the dark back round.
