First Attempt at One Stroke!

I have been trying to learn one stroke nail art. MAN its hard!

I practise every now and then when I have time but I need to give it alot more time.

This is the first time I have risked ruining a mani haha. I don't think it turned out too bad for a first proper attempt.

I used a one stroke brush from Moyra UK to do these and also the St Petersburg brush. I love Moyra Brushes! They are great quality and I swear they make all the difference. I spent years trying to get by with cheap eBay ones and I swear these have already improved my nail art loads!

The polishes are Tropical storm by Happy Hands and Essies Shes Pampered. My fave red EVER!

What do you think of my first attempt?? Id love some tips too if anyone has any!? I'm currently watching A LOT of YouTube videos mainly by Cute Nails. 

B is for Butterflies Nail art

New BarryM Gellys are MINE! 

I havent bought any mainstream polishes in soooo long as I have really only been excited by indies. BUT when BarryM brought out the new Gellys it rekindled my love for the ones I already own and then I decided I needed more! 

The new gellys I have bought seem in no way as thick as the others I have which I am a bit disappointed about as I love using them for art and stamping but as we all know they will thicken up in time. 

This is another one of those faffing nail arts where I have no idea or plan I just go with it..... 

So this is what I went with. 

I went for a waterfall (Nailasaurus inspired) then added some Happy Hands B Is For Butterflies to the ring finger.

The middle finger is a sponging technique using the the Gelly polishes, I think it looks washed out like watercolours, I just call it mottling LOL 

I used, from the Gelly Range, Huckleberry as the base and then Prickly Pear and Greenberry for the add ons. Oh and I used a Color Club glitter striper too (squint and ya may see it LOL) 

Like I said they are a lot thinner so that was a tad annoying but I still like the overall look.

I am in LOVE with pastels and I think we will be seeing a lot of them again this summer.

What do you think? Do you love pastels? 

OH Does My Nails! Finally!

I have finally gotten around to actually letting my other half do my nails! 

He has been waiting patiently whilst I let everyone else have a go and now it is his turn.

He favorite colour is yellow so its no suprise that he chose a yellow indie polish as his main colour. 

Alex chose Banana Stand by Happy Hands. I love Happy Hands. They don't make polishes any more and its gutting as I REALLY NEED the Simpsons collection they released but I cant get it anywhere....

  On a side note if anyone knows where I can get them or are willing to sell me some then please drop me a line! 

 Bottle shot ^^

He also used Foie Gras by China Glaze and then stamped a little submarine using The Beatles stamping plate by MoYou.  

We all live in a yellow submarine.....

The yellow really goes with the brown and I think he did a great job for his first ever stamping! Bless him! 

What do you all think?
