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?

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 :)
