Essie Block Colours

Hey everyone! I'm back this week with some nails that are a bit simpler than those I posted last week. I often really struggle to simplify designs, I always want to add more and more but when I'm in a rush I sometimes have to fight against myself and let the designs remain simple. I was playing around with the Essie Resort 2017 Collection*, and I thought the colours would work well in a block manicure. It's been so long since I used tape for a manicure, but I love block manis like this, I used to do loads of them 'back in the day' so it's nice to bring it back. 

Blue Triangles

Hey everyone! Just a quick post from me tonight. I've had this design done for over 3 months now but I've just not got around to posting it, so I thought it was finally time. I unfortunately can't actually remember the lighter blue colour I used for this as it's been so long and I own so many that are so similar, but the dark blue is Layla CE33.This was all done using striping tape (I dont keep normal tape to hand most of the time) and finished off with a coat of Seche Vite.

What do you think?

Let me know in the comments!

Day 9: Rainbow Nails

Today was rainbow nails in the challenge and I came up with tonnes of ideas but they were all so boring, so I had to choose a boring but slightly original idea and this is what I came up with, hope you like it :)

Day 5: Blue Nails

The long-awaited (2 days) blue nails are here: laser/stripe nails! I am knackered again though so I wont be writing much, my bed is calling! 

If I were to do these again I would choose a more defining base colour but nevertheless I quite like how they turned out (aka not my usual failure with tape and nail varnish seeping underneath)

I dont know what's happened to the second picture, it was fine before I uploaded it on here I promise, not all blurred (boo)

I used Barry M Turquoise and China Glaze Electric Beat as the base

Hope you like them!
