Fruit and veg anyone?

After seeing Rebecca Likes Nails' apple post the other day I was inspired to try these nails, but I knew I didn't want just apples, but a mix of fruit and veg. So I present to you, grapes, carrots, lemons, apples and oranges miniaturized! Hope you like them :)

Books and bookshelves

Hello everyone, today's post was inspired by something I love: reading! I've been meaning to do bookshelf nails for ages but when it came to it I decided I wanted to do open books as well. I was originally only going to do one big giant open book as an accent nail but that didn't really happen and I dont really know why haha. Anyway, I like how they turned out despite that and I hope you do too!

Mattified feather nails

Hello everyone! As you all well know I love matte nails, so I couldn't let one of my favourite manicures go un-mattified could I? I preferred these matte in person, though through the photos I prefer them glossed. I'll let you make your mind up which looks better. I also got asked quite a few times last night for a tutorial, which will be coming up in the next week or so :) I really debated whether to put these up here because I dont want to bore you with the same manicure 3 times but I hope you like them!

Subtle feather nails

I got the inspiration for these nails from Kayla Shevonne when she did feather nails a few weeks ago. I loved the idea and decided to recreate it myself and it's so easy to do! 

I think I'll definitely be experimenting with different colours in the future for something a bit more bold, these are very subtle. Unfortunately, in person they were barely noticeable and I like nails that stand out a bit more. They're perfect for blogging though so I hope you like them!

Blue Mix 'n' Match

So after the pink mix and match I decided I really liked how they turned out and I wanted to try something similar with blue (my favourite colour if you havn't yet noticed haha) and I like these even more than the pink ones! I hope you do too

I used a base of Barry M - Blue Moon, with Essie - School of Hard Rocks for the darker blue and China Glaze Electric Feel for the lighter blue

Fixed it?

So for those you follow me on instagram (@onenailtorulethemall) you'll have seen the nails I posted a few days ago in pure desperation to just do my nails whilst I was away. I didn't take any nail varnish with me but managed to pick up two Nails Inc. nail varnishes for £2 at a car boot (whut), a light pink and a purple.

Whilst there, I decided to do my nails with no tools and no clean up and although they weren't that bad they needed more to them, so as soon as I got home I got out a paintbrush and some black and outlined all the flowers, and I love them so much more now! I hope you do too :)
