Life In Lacquer's Nail Art Challenge - Food

Hello lovelies. An early post from me today as I am off to the airport in a few hours and flying out to Morocco this evening yay! I still have posts scheduled for the blog though, so it won't be quiet around here and my boyfriend has even agreed to share my posts on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter while I'm away (thanks Richard!).

The lovely Jade of Life In Lacquer is hosting a nail art challenge through the month of July which I have decided to take part in. I am on holiday for the next week (I don't know if I have mentioned that much hehe), but I have managed to get myself way ahead on my blog posts so I can still take part, because I haven't done a one off challenge in a while. The first prompt is food, so that is what I will be showing you today.

Read on after the jump for more.

Minion Nails

Hello lovelies. How are you? I'm still off work at the moment, not being able to walk properly is very frustrating.

Today I have some minion nails to show you. I feel I am a bit late to the party with these, but I finally watched Despicable Me 2 last week and decided I want to get in on the minion nail art action. 

I started with a base of Nicole by OPI - Hit The Lights.

I then used an unnamed Color Club blue and added it like a french tip. I used a striper brush to add the little straps. 

For the eyes I used a few different sized dotting tools. The polishes were Avon - Mercury Metal, Color Club - White, Leighton Denny - Forbidden Territory and W7 - Black. I used the black and a striper for the straps.

For the mouths I used a detail brush and a dotting tool for the teeth. The polishes for the mouths were W7 - Black, Barry M - Passionfruit and Color Club - White.

These did take me quite a long time, but I was pleased with the outcome. I got quite a few compliments whilst wearing them. If I was having a bad time (which is quite often working in a call centre lol) I would look at my nails and they would cheer me up a bit. How can you not laugh at those faces?!

Have you seen Despicable Me? Did you love it as much as I did?

Thanks for stopping by.

Easter Nails.

I hope everyone is having a nice and relaxing Easter, I am spending my day painting my nails and catching up on lots of telly. It's so good to have some time off work!

To celebrate the occasion I thought I would do some Easter themed nails. I knew I wanted to incorporate bunnies or chicks, but I couldn't decide which so I went for both :). I am pretty happy with how these turned out, I think they are rather cute (even if I do say so myself).
