NailDesigns

Helloooo

I know post are coming along very slowly and I'm sorry.

I haven't been doing my nails much lately as they keep breaking and I didn't want to always use fake nails lol
I painted my nails with a white polish before I added any colour on as I find it brings out the colour more.

I recently made several purchases at Fragrance Direct and managed to get some polishes for 49p. BARGAIN! lol but I never managed to used any so I decided to use Manhattan Rock Topia (3) which is the Apricot colour.

I only needed to put on 1 coat of the colour and the colour shone through. I didn't really like the colour when it arrived but once I had it on I fell in love with it as its such a summery and fun colour.

I didn't know what to do as I never plan my nail art designs but I was determined to use these:

Yep! Ring reinforcements. LOL

I've seen many people use these in their tutorials and wanted to try using them in my nail art.

The following are basic tutorials on how to do these designs.

 Aztec inspired nail

1. Cut a ring reinforcement in half making sure you cut away the middle circle.

2. Paint on your chosen colour (I picked yellow). It doesn't matter if you paint onto the ring reinforcement as it will be peeled away. 

3. Peel the ring reinforcement off once the polish is dry and using nail varnish clean away any excess polish on your skin.

I painted on a white angle to separate the orange and yellow to make it stand out more. I also added black gems to the center of the yellow section to give it a nice texture.

Feathers:

1. Draw a line diagonally. This will be the center of the feather.

2. Starting from the bottom draw lines coming off the center outwards; make sure that the size of the flicks get smaller as you reach the tip of the feather.

-Optional-

3. Do the same on a corner to show that there are other feathers

4. Using a lighter colour repeat steps 1 and 2 on top of your first feather but leaving wider gaps between the flicks to make it look as if it has texture.

I have to admit that I hate birds. LOL but I love this simple and easy feather design.

The first time I ever saw this design was on Instagram (nailsbylins) and I just fell in love with it but I will NEVER come to like birds.

eBay Haul

Howdy!

I'm so happy today as my online purchases have been arriving since yesterday.

I am currently going through a phase of nail art so I made some cheap purchases through ebay as I feel that there is no point in paying out for expensive versions of my items as I change my nail designs every 3-4 days! lol.

So here it is:

Nail Gems

Every girl needs some sparkle in their life. I paid £1.49 for this set which comes in a clear plastic container and 2 sheets of nail transfers. You can stick them on anything! 

Dotting Pens

My absolute love! These pens are used for nail designs and I only paid £1 for 5 double ended ones. 

I was on Bank website last week and saw that there was an extra 20% off selected sale items and so I found myself purchasing a Pauls Boutique bag for £15! I am very pleased with it as its a good size for someone short like me. lol. I did have to try several times as it kept running out of stock! But now its here its all sm:)es.

I'm so happy with my purchases and the amount of time it took to deliver was very fast but most of all the amount of money I'm saving.

Anywho..

Take Care
