You Make My Heart Sing

As you all know, over the last month or 2 I have been enjoying trying out different designs and patterns on my nails. I'd never had decent nails before (ex biter) so am completely new to this.

But here's my latest attempt...

I painted all my nails with a nude by Rimmel, used OMP by Nails Inc to do the spots on my ring finger and a tiny brush with a black Bourjois polish to do the outline of the spots. And that is the result. My friends thought I'd actually had Minx done. I would never have thought it would be so easy to create a little intricate design like this.

Golden Sunset...

Inspired by this rare period of sunshine we've been having I decided to paint my nails a sunny golden orange...

I found it really hard to photograph this look so hopefully you get it from the following pics.

This was created by using Nails Inc Atomic all over the nails and Sephora's I'm a rich girl on the tips. I used scotch tape to enable to to get a nice neat line. I'm really happy with the overall look - very bright and summery!!

Dotty About Spots

I've really been enjoying playing about with my Cena white nail art pen. Here is my current favourite look. so easy and pretty...

Using Essie Splash Of Grenadine

Using Rimmel Sky High

I think this is such a pretty and girlie look but really so simple to create.

What do you guys think? Are you rating the spots?

Bling Bling

Continuing with the creative nail art that I've been 'attempting' in the lat week or so, I thought I'd show you these babies...

(pardon the messy application)

I went to the nail salon with my friend Emma the other day and she had her nails done, very nicely may I add, a nice pink colour with some sparkly bling on 2 of her fingers. These were Calgel, and although, as I said they looked very pretty, I couldn't help but think they'd be easily achievable at home, saving myself a much needed £30!

So I used my new Sephora nail polish in 'Jealous' and then added the little diamantes that I picked up from Superdrug for only £2.69....et Voila...pocket friendly and pretty.

What do you guys think?

Life's Just Rosey

After watching MakeUpGeekTV's YT video on 'How to get rosebud nails' I was super inspired to try my hand at it. I've mentioned before I am not great at nail art but it didn't look too difficult. The only problem is that I don't have any coloured nail art pens, so I had to use some old make up brushes to create the design...

Anyways, here's my effort...

Not perfect...but super pretty :)

Mini Sally's Haul

Happy Monday :)

Last week I was in Sally's and I picked up a couple of things I thought you might like to see.

The 1st thing is a Cina white nail art pen. I've been after one for a while as I'm really getting in to making my nails very pretty. I have tried it out a few times, mostly just messing about. I am left handed so my right hand always looks pretty but my left hand just looks awful. Can someone let me know how you manage to do your 'other' hand without it looking like you've let a 3 year old loose with it. I will keep practicing though...

The 2nd thing I got was a China Glaze polish in Fairy Dust and OH MY GOD I adore it. This is my first CG polish - and it will not be my last. I just love the way the sparkles shine in the light, there are so many colours of glitter in there. I tried to take some pics of it catching the light, and this was my best effort...

BEAUTIFUL

I'm sure this will be featured in many NOTW posts. I think it's my current obsession.

Have any you guys tried Fairy Dust? What are your China Glaze recommendations? And please let me know how you use your nail art pens.
