Triangles

Guess what? It's another failed entry into the Barry M competition (woop). I actually like this one, even though I'm not a massive fan of metallics. Simple but effective. If you havn't voted for me already will you please take a look here and decide if you will. I'm currently second and that's still great! So thankyou all for your votes so far, I just have to keep it that way by continuing to boost it up :) Anyway, on to the nails!


 I used:
Barry M - Chameleon Blue
Barry M - Silver Foil Effects

Hope you like them!

Stripes

Hello again! So this was one of my entries that didn't quite make the cut for the Barry M competition. It's very simple and a bit messy but I quite like it because I dont often do horizontal stripes and it makes a nice change. Hope you like it too!


(I'm sorry there's only one photo)

I used

  • Barry M - Chameleon Blue 
  • Barry M - Silver Foil Effects
  • Barry M - Gold Foil Effects


Dont forget to vote for the one that did make the cut: here

A cheeky beg?

Remember I said in my last post that I'd been doing my nails for competitions? Well one of them made the cut for Barry M's 'Karma Karma Chameleon' competition. For the competition you had to use their new range of chameleon polishes and that was it, just be as inventive as you can. I posted 4 entries (you could do as many as you liked) and I'll be posting about the rest shortly. The picture in this post is the one that made the 15 finalists and I would be so so incredibly grateful if you could take a look at this Facebook link and if you like my design then like the picture? I will love you forever!


I used:

  • Barry M - Chameleon Blue
  • An unnamed pink
  • Barry M - Spring Green
  • China Glaze - For Audrey 


Thanks everyone!

Geometric blue

Hi guys! Sorry for the big gap between posts (again) I've been super busy! I did my nails loads yesterday but it was all for competitions so I wont be able to post them until afterwards. Here is a super simple design, or at least it should have been. Unfortunately I had to go out very soon after doing them so they were smudged a billion times. I did manage to fix them however and I hope you like them :)




Light blue: Models Own - Blooboo
Darker blue: No 7 - Stand Back


Also, I forgot to ask you guys what you thought of my new watermark. Do you think it's working for me or should I go back to simple text watermarking?

Nude Flowers

I'm back! It feels so ridiculously good to be doing my nails again (and not to be revising 24/7). I must confess I did actually do my nails a couple of weeks ago, but they really weren't photo friendly and I've just had one colour on since then. I hate having plain nails! I wont be posting lots just yet, but I'm going to try 2 times this week and then my exams are OVER!!!! (Excited doesn't cover it)

You might also notice a few changes around here, firstly a new logo my friend Luke made me and also a new banner. I've also made it easier to follow me via GFC because I'd somehow hidden it, being the technology friendly genius I am. Anyway, on to the nails!

Nude flowers! I'm disappointed with these, I'm staying away for the weekend and I made myself grab 5 random colours and make a design with them and I imagined them to look a lot better than this, BUT I don't care because I did nail art and it feels so good!






I'm sorry this is such a word heavy post, hope you liked the nails!
