Easter Nails!

Hi guys,

My blogs aren't really the same as they used to be, I don't have as much time to paint my nails and experiment with makeup anymore, and as I work with animals alot of the time, its often not worth it haha! So my blogs will be little snippets of my life now rather than just nail art. Hopefully you guys will still find what I write interesting :)

But I've broke up for easter now, for three weeks!! If only the weather was like it was last year :| Anyways, in between work, catching up on some z's, and selling anything i can get my hands on on ebay, I have managed to do a bit of nail art! :)

Here's what I did for easter :D

I used Models Own for the base colours and the white details, and Barry M white crackle on the thumb :)

The bunnies were sooo hard to do on my right hand! I managed it but they weren't quite as crisp as these haha!

Cute huh? Leave a comment and let me know what you think :)

I'm hoping to do a few more when I have some spare time :) so watch this space!

 

 

Also, like I mentioned the weather hasn't been great. Its sending me round the bend so who knows how all the wildlife feels. Today I saw a fox just sitting in next doors garden, enjoying the peace and quiet :)



As its spring now I'm wondering if maybe there are a couple of cubs in the over grown garden :D going to keep my eyes peeled from now on! I'll keep you all posted :)

 

Finally... I'll be listing a lot of stuff on ebay this weekend, books, purses, maybe some clothes and maybe some bracelets :D so feel free to have a browse :) I've got to do a work placement next year so I'm trying to raise some money towards it :) every little helps.

I look forward to hearing from you :)

Merry Christmas To All!!

Hi guys!
Hope you all had a fab christmas :) I know I did :)

Thought I'd share some of my christmas nail art with you all.

The first one is a quick mani I did for my sister. She already had the pink polish on so I just painted over the top.
I painted white on the ring finger and limited edition barry m blue on the little finger and index finger and topped it with the barry m limited edition glitter (they were 3 for 2 in superdrug).
I added silver and pink glitter to the tips of the pink nails.
On the white nail I used different shades of blue pink and green to create little dots in the shape of a christmas tree :)
A quick cute christmas mani :)

The second I painted on my moms nails. I used a shimmery cream for the base coat. I used a red and green Models Own glitters for the tips.
On the ring finger I painted a christmas wreath. I used a dark green and then a slightly lighter shade on top to create the wreath. I then used a red shade to add the details and bow.
I used the same colours to create the two small wreaths on the thumb.

Hope you like them :)
And Merry Christmas!!

Last of The Summer Sun!

What about that sun huh?!
I love love love the sun, I could happily sit in it all day crisping up! And that's just what I did on Monday :) My childhood bestie (and conveniently next door neighbour) came round and we had our beach towels at the ready.
My trampoline, once an initial buy for fun exercise, now makes a great sun lounger :D So I had my no factor Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil (or 'the cooking oil' for short) smothered on my legs in a desperate attempt to obtain some colour.
I even invested in a paddling pool to cool off :P At £10 it was a total bargain!
Also it gives me an excuse to make the most of my sunglasses obsession :) I have obtained a fair few over this year :/ Accessorize had a great sale on a few weeks ago where i brought two pairs that were each £3 :) oopsie! But I loveeee them :)
I've been pretty busy this week again sorting out odds and ends for when I move out next week but I've tried to make the most of the sunshine.
Here's my mani for this week...I thought I'd try out the florals and stripes. I used the Models Own lilac and pink again (my two favourite colours). My white nail art pen has started to get a bit gloopy so I just used an old paint brush and the Models Own white nail varnish for the stripes. For the flowers I just blobbed on the colour in a wiggly circle (sorry for my shocking descriptive skills) and then I used a darker shade nail art pen to add the details.
Hope you like :)

Busy Busy Busy!

Hi guys,
I've been a busy bee this past week :) I had my last shift at work on Sunday which was sad :( I love my Sunday people, it's just the three of us and it's always more relaxed :) They brought me flowers and a thorntons chocolate champaign bottle :) bless them!

So now I've just been preparing for the move out to uni! I've got sooo much stuff :| I think my parents are keen to get rid of me haha! I'm excited to move out but I don't think I'm going to enjoy the lack of money I will have :( no more new shoes and hand bags. Sad sad times!

Well I haven't had time to do anything spectacular with my nails this week so I thought I'd show you and old mani I did using Models Own pink and purple. I used a tooth pick to create the little dots :) I liked this mani because it's not very often I have a different pattern on each nail (it's just a bit crazzzyy for me :p) but I think the pastel colour tone it down a little :)

Anywayssss I hope you like it :)

Ruleee Britania!!

Hi guys :)

This year has been pretty good for us Brits. I missed the queens jubilee because I was on holiday, but I really caught the Olympic fever.

Initially I hadn't planned on watching much but I thought the opening ceremony was brilliant, and I ended up finding myself screaming at the TV most nights. Some of the highlights for me were Mo winning double gold and I was pretty happy with our equestrian medals :)

So like many of us, I decided to show my pride with a new mani :) I know it's late now but with the para olympics a few days away I thought I'd it show you guys anyway :)

The blue is Barry M navy, the white base is Models Own and the glitter is also Models Own :) For the heart, I painted the union jack first then went around it with a black nail art pen.

Hope you like :)

A Bit of Glits!

Hi guys,
I love glitter polishes because they are so quick and easy to do but look just that little bit more special :)
So today for a quick post I thought I'd show you a few of my favourite glitters.

This first glitter polish I picked up in body care for 99p! I used it over a navy blue that I had and I really like the outcome :) The make of the polish is Technic and it's called Carnival. It's a nice glitter with lots of bright colours in it, and it goes on really well too :)

The OPI polish is from the muppets collect, which my sisters friend kindly gave to me :) Its Divine Swine over Pepe's Purple Passion (which is more red than purple but hey ho). I really like this combo, and it lasts foreverrrr! It didn't even chip!

Finally, I love Models Own Ibiza Mix! It's got lots of different coloured glitters in it so it goes great over most colours. I love it over this Barry M deep purple for a quick night out look, or over a light peach for a more summery style :)

Let me know which ones your favourite :)

Just Another Mani Monday!

Hi guys :)
I had a fab weekend down in Weymouth, eating fish and chips and walking round the arcades. The B&B that we found last minute was gorgeous. Really nice and clean.

Well it's back to the wild ways of Wolverhampton. In tribute, I thought I would show you a few leopard print manis that I have don't over the year.

I'm not sure what order these photos will show up in because I'm using the iPhone blogger app, but here goes.

First up, blue and yellow leopard. Both models own colours with the nail art pen for detail.

Second, I used models own lilac for the base coat then sponged on a mint green half way up the nail. Once it had dried I used the nail art pen for the leopard detail.

Finally, gold funky! I used Barry M metallic gold for the base coat, then just splodged on a bright blue and pink polish for the spots, which I then went round with the nail art pen to create the leopard effect.

Hope you like :)
Let me know which is your favourite.

Willd Thang!

Heyy guyss
Sorry for the lack of posts I've been pretty busy with school and birthdays :)
I brought some new shoes from New Look with a gift card I had for my birthday & I lurrrvv them....

I wore them out for my boyfriends birthday with my khaki jeggings and a thin cream shirt :)

Naturally I painted my nails to match ;)

I brought this Rimmel Pro Matte Finish polish and decided to us it as a top coat.

However, I'm pretty impatient so I put it on too early and smudged the stripes :(

I used a very light brown for the base coat,
Then smudge on a darker brown in little patches.
I used my Models Own Nail Art pen to add the stripes,
then finally the Rimmel Matte top coat.

Hope you like :D

Purple Aztec

Hi guyss,
I've always wanted to have a go at doing some Aztec nails so I had a bit of a crack at it a while ago :)
I decided to go with purple and gold to match my beautiful shoes that my auntie brought me for my birthday :D

Here's what I used....

 I started with the Barry M lilac foil effect for the base coat.

I really like these foil effects because they dry really quick.

(mine are a little messy cause I was in a hurry)

Here's the pattern...

• I used the Barry M Gold foil effect to add the strip just below the middle of the nail.
• I then used the Models Own Nail Art Pen to outline the gold.
• I added a black zig-zag line towards the tip,
• and a black filled in like at the bottom,
• which I added small gold dots to.

They are a tiny bit messy because I was in a hurry to go out.

I like the pattern and the colours though :)

I think I will have a go at this design again at some point

Maybe with some pastel or neon colours for spring/summer :)

Hope you like them :)

Percy Panda

Hi guyss,
I love cute rings so when I saw Accessorize's plastic Percy Panda ring on sale! I snapped it up :) And naturally, I did a mani to match :)

Here's what I used..

•  I used the Barry M Blue Moon for the base colour
  (which took four coats because its really runny -.-)
• I used the Models Own Snow White for the pandas,
  painting a small semi oval shape on the tips.
• Once the white had dried I added the ears, eyes and tiny nose
  using the Models Own Nail Art pen.
• Once the black had dried I added another white dot for the eyes,
  using a white nail art pen.
• For the bamboo on the ring finger I used the pale green and yellow together
  to create the shoot.
• Once that had dried I added the black detail with the Nail Art pen.

I like this mani, its pretty cute :)

I hope you like it

Cat I'm a Kitty Cat

Hi guyss,

If like everyone else your feeling the January blues, here's one of my favourite YouTube vids to cheer you up :)

Which leads me on nicely to my recent nail art :)

As you may know I had a Cat Ears ring from Cheap Frills, well I thought I'd do a mani to match :)

I used Barry M Grey for the base colour,

my Models Own Nail Art pen for the detail on the thumb and ring finger,

& Models Own Juicy Jules for the other fingers.

This was a really simple and quick mani :)

Hope you like it
