Galaxy Nails!

Hello everyone. Its finally the weekend, I hope everyone has a good one! :)

I've had a bit of a disaster this week, my laptop died on me :(. I am writing this post up on my boyfriend's laptop at the moment, but he is self employed and uses this for work so I can't steal it too much. So my posts may be a bit slow until I get my one fixed. Hopefully it won't take too long, I have so many things I want to share!

Anyway, enough of that. Today I have my first attempt at galaxy nails to show you. I have been meaning to do these forever and FINALLY got round to doing them. I personally really enjoyed wearing them.

I can't remember exactly all the polishes I used for this.. I was stupid and forgot to write them down. I believe I started with W7 - Black as a base.

I then sponged on Essie - Aruba Blue, Topshop - Moondance and I think the pink is an unnamed W7 which I got in a set.

Then I added some dots with a white creme (I can't remember which one) and fished a few bits of glitter out of OPI - Which Is Witch? and placed these on my nails. I was hoping they would give it more sparkle but unfortunately they kinda just looked the same as the white dots. Oh well.

As always, I finished it off with a coat of Seche Vite.

I had a lot of fun doing these, I definitely think I'll try them again. Maybe with some different colours, I really like the pastel ones The Nailasaurus did here.

Have you ever tried galaxy nails?

Thanks for looking!

Lost On Lombard Striping Tape Nails.

Hello my loves, how are we all today?

Today I have some nail art to show you using one of my new OPI polishes to show you. I hadn't done any nail art using striping tape for a while so I thought I would do something using that too.

Apologies for the terrible photos, the lighting wasn't co-operating whilst I was doing these. My photography set up is something I am working on so hopefully I should be rid of these issues soon :).

For these nails I started with a base of Butter London - Billy No Mates on all of my nails.

Once that was completely dry I applied the striping tape onto my nails and painted over a coat of OPI - Lost On Lombard. I had forgotten how fiddly striping tape could be!

Finally I added a gold stud to each nail and finished off with a coat of Seche Vite. Unfortunately it decided to shrink at my cuticles :(.. if it weren't for that issue Seche Vite would be the perfect topcoat in my opinion.

I did quite like this design, its nice to keep things simple sometimes.

Thanks for looking!

Simple Pink Holo Nail Art

Hello everyone, I hope all your weekends are going well.

Today I have some nails to show you that I did a few months ago and then forgot to post (hence why my nails are much shorter). But I found the pictures saved on my computer a few days ago and I really love them, so I thought I would share them.

For these I started with a base of NYC - MoMa on all my nails.

Once they were dry I painted Orly - Miss Conduct onto half of each nail using a fine nail art brush. I love this colour, sooo pretty! Unfortunately I couldn't capture it perfectly on my camera, the holo sparkle freaked it out a bit. But at least the sun came out when I was taking the pictures :).

I then added my little gems on by sticking them on with a blob of top coat and then top coating over them to secure it all. If I remember correctly these gems would not budge and I kept this mani on for about a week (which is an eternity for me).

And that's all there was to it. Super easy and really rather pretty (even if I do say so myself).

Thanks for stopping by.

Red and Gold Floral Accents

Hello loves, I hope everyone is well.

Today I have some nail art to show you that I wore just over a week ago. I wasn't really sure where I was going with this design. I just sat down with some polishes and went from there. I have to admit I wasn't 100% pleased with how these turned out, but I guess its all good practice :).

For this mani I used a base of OPI - Innie Minnie Mighty Bow on my thumb, index and ring finger and on my pinky I used China Glaze - Goldie But Goodie. On my middle finger I did a gradient of both of these colours.

On my thumb and ring finger I then painted some flowers with a nail art brush using Goldie But Goodie and a black and white creme polish.

I topped everything off with Seche Vite and I was done. 

Excuse the messy bit on my middle finger, I clearly need to work on my clean up skills when doing gradients. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Palm Tree Nail Art

Helloo!

Well my first attempt at blogging kinda failed a little bit didn't it. I don't think I realised how time consuming running a blog actually is, but I have decided to have another shot at it. However this time I actually have a couple of different things already lined up to show you, instead of throwing myself in head first with no preparation and then getting overwhelmed as I have nothing to post! I think I will try and break myself in gently and aim to post at least once a week and then if I feel able to post more often I shall do so :).

Anyway, enough of the babbling and onto the nails.
