Daisy Nails


 Following on from my easy Leopard Print Nails these daisy nails are just as easy and look just as good on long or short nails. 

Model's Own Beth's Blue, Bourjois Yellow and Pink Tease White Nail Art Pen

I love this look purely because when I wore it to work I got so many compliments - it's also not too much of a statement so I feel like I can wear this for every day :) For some reason this look just reminds me of spring and cool crisp mornings and bright blue skies - basically just happy things :)

Hope you've enjoyed!! x

Strawberries and Cream NOTD

After having a really positive response to my previous simple nail art looks (bubbles, Midnight Sparkles,Strawberry Libertine and Glittery green gradient)
I thought I’d post one more which absolutely everyone can do and takes barely any time at all!
I apply two coats of Rimmel’s Strawberry libertine
Once it's dry apply a swipe of Barry M White nail effects in the corner.
;
Up close I think this looks quite pretty but it’s more when you catch a glimpse of it or from far away where it somehow looks really lovely.
I've got both the black and the white nail effect polishes & I've been figuring out a few different ways to wear them however this is by far my favourite!
.
Hope this has been helpful!! x


P.S I’ve got a new header and favicon (the little icon you see next to the web address) & I know I’ve changed my blog’s look a hundred times but I think I’m finally happy – what do you think?

STRAWBERRY NOTD

It’s officially the British Summer Time now the clocks have gone forward(although I still class this time of year as spring..) But that’s a great excuse to start wearing bright colours and doing cute little looks like this…STRAWBERRIES :)

For this, Just paint your nails red(or pink if you prefer), I used Revlon’s ‘Revlon Red’ which is completely opaque after one coat!
Once that’s dry, apply a few little white dots, I used Barry M’s Matte White..
Then do three(or four if you want) green dots, I used Barry M Spring Green at the top of your nail, then slowly smudge it down so it looks like you’ve got little leaves!
so long as you take your time you can do it on both hands :)
Hope you’ve enjoyed!! x

Happy St Patrick’s Day!

I’m only a quarter Irish but I couldn’t let today go without posting a little something dedicated to St Patricks Day!I just did a really simple Irish flag design which only took a few minutes
(my Nan was pretty impressed with it though!)

I used 3 Barry M colours, obviously you can use what ever you have to hand – I picked Spring Green, Matte White and Tangerine.
(if you’re wondering why on earth I have a tangerine nail polish, I’m from Blackpool and a girl’s got to support her local football team every now and then!)
I hope you’ve enjoyed – Are any of you doing anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

P.S I know technically the colours should be the other way around to how they appear in the pictures (green, white & orange instead of orange, white & green) but when I look at them they look the right way around!

NOTD Glittery Green Gradient

I’ve seen loads of gradient nails around recently and I really wanted to do something similar but most gradient effects require using a sponge and I just didn’t want all that sort of hassle –
I like my nails to be quite simple and easy!
So instead of using normal opaque nail polishes which are harder to blend together I used two glitter polishes and I’m actually really happy with how they look:)I used models own in Emerald City(the chunky green glitter) and Collection 2000 maxiflex in Inca Silver.

I applied a little bit of the green on the tips
Once that had dried I put a light coat of silver all the nail..
And then I just went over the tips with the same chunky green glitter and flicked it down the nail so there wasn’t a straight line separating the two polishes
(and then just use a top coat to help prevent chipping - although sorting out chips is really easy with this look!)If you’re going to do something similar with different colours the models own glitter polishes work really well as they are all pretty chunky and not so tightly packed with glitter that it’d be difficult to get the gradient effects :)

Hope you enjoyed!! x

NOTD Multicoloured

This is a slight twist on the usual leopard print look and again it really is super simple. I just used a white base (barry m) then dotted spots of colour, once that’s dry simply dot on your leopard print – I tried this with just pink spots and it looked just as cute :) If you’re just getting into nail art or are thinking of trying some bits definitely attempt some leopard print nails and experiment with the colours. It looks impressive but takes no more than 10 minutes to do!!
