Random Lines Nail Art

A couple weekends ago we took a little trip away for the weekend. Whilst I was gone I finally got my package from justnail.com.
I had some problems with getting it through customs, and a bloody huge fine, so that sucked but at least I have them now!
I have finally had time to sit and have a play with the Pure Color 10 brush.  You may know this brush as its also available from Stylish Nail Art Shop. It sure is a good brush!

I have been having some health problems in the last 6 months and it means that my hands shake badly so please be kind when it comes to this mani, it is the first time I have attempted hand painting in a while!

I used Moyra Gel Look 910 for this mani, This polish covers so well its unreal. It also stains your whole hand when you take it off. You just cant have it all lol!

I used a metallic white acrylic paint for this but unfortunately you cannot see the lustre of it in these pictures.


Thanks for taking the time to look at these and I hope to be a regular blogger again soon!

Cute Lines and Bows Nail Art

First off let me apologize for my very poorly looking fingers. I have rather neglected my hands this week as my hubby has been off work and we have spent the time going out to various places with the kids.... 

Mainly involving dinosaurs LOL

I am really happy today as my new bulb for my lamp came and as it a daylight bulb it works so much better in regards to picture taking. 

As many of you may know I only have time to blog in the late evenings when the babbys are in bed so a good lamp is essential to me. 

Anywho, enough babbling lets get to the nails! 

Today I have a very cute nail art! 

I created this look using 3 Essie polishes..

Avenue Maintain (blue) Go Ginza (light pink) and Bond with Whomever (darker pink)

I used the ole Striping tape to create this look. 

Painting the colours between lines of striping tape using a thin brush, on top of Go Ginza as a base colour. 

Then removing the striping tape whilst the polish is still wet. 

The lines haven't come out as crisp as usual but I still think it looks super pretty. 

The bows are a pearlescent yellow and were sent to me by Sparkly Nails. 

I really like these bows as they are a lot more practical than the massive bows i usually use, plus they are just so cute!

You can purchase these bows and other nail art things HERE

*some of these products were sent to me for an HONEST review. The views on this product are COMPLETELY my own.*

Something Blue

 

These are my take on the Bridal Weekly Challenge on the nail Polish Lovers Community on Google+

 

I was going to do a nude pink but I saw this Pastel Bue By Kleancolor and I thought this blue shade would make a nice change.

"Something Blue"

 

I used 2x coats of Kleancolors Pastel Blue

Lace Nail Stickers

Flat Back Faux Pearls

1x coat of Poshe

As you can probably see I smudged a few of them when I applied the stickers.

 

I have noticed that a lot of fast drying topcoats do not speed up the drying time of Kleancolor? I have no idea why?! But its really frustrating as I always expect it to be dry and make silly mistakes, like this :(

 

And I couldn't even redo it as I ran out of stickers boooo :(

 

Oyster nails, a new nail trend of 2013?!

Well good morning all, so I saw this picture in Scratch magazine and it really caught my eye.

The oyster nail has been all over the catwalk this season but will people start wearing this, in my opinion,strange nail design?

It can't be too practical I mean think of all the stuff that's going to get stuck under there, gross!!

I also would imagine they would get caught on everything! Nothing worse than a nail ripping off!! Ouch!! 

I'm not keen on this at all and can't see it being practical for an everyday audience but it sure is a talking point for the fashion world! 

Would you wear these?
