Tutorial Tuesday: Glitter Aztec Nail Art

Hey everyone! Today I have another tutorial tuesday that you'll have to head over to Divine Caroline for. After posting the nails I did at Pastille nail bar (which you can see here) I was a few times to do a tutorial for them, so here you go! Don't forget to check out the full tutorial here

A is for Aztec!

Hey guys! 
So recently I decided to participate in a nail art challenge. It's an ABC challenge.
It's hosted by Sarah at atxlacquerista.


I've never participated in a challenge before but the themes seem like a lot of fun and I'm super excited to try! I think I'm going to try and do every theme but also add in extras for each letter.

So without further ado, 

A is for AZTEC




I am so happy Aztec was one of the challenges. I've been wanting to try a more simple Aztec design and now I finally had a reason to.



Sorry for the picture spam, I just really love these.


Polishes used: 
Essie Beyond Cozy
Pure Ice Home Run
Sinful Colors Island Coral

Well that's it! I hope you love these as much as I do!

Neon gradient + tribal nails (and an announcement!)

Happy Easter everyone! I'm going to hopefully be posting twice today because I'm going to quickly try and do a 'Then and Now' post for tonight because I didn't have time to do one last night. But I just wanted to show you these neon gradients I did, and then decided to add a tribal design to. I shall have a tutorial coming up for this soon if you're interested? These were meant to be my 'easter' nails for this year but I fancied something a little different to the usual pastel combinations.

I actually quite liked the design with just a neon gradient but as always I knew I wanted to add more to it, oops. The base for this design was MASH - White, which is meant to be for stamping but as it's so opaque it works great as a base too. The neon colours were Models Own - Toxic Apple, Orange Sorbet and Pink Sorbet, all of which as you can see are really bright and great neons, I would definitely recommend getting them if you haven't already got them. As neons tend to be quite translucent they're great for gradients.

Also, today is my blogiversary! This little blog is one year old today, I had started a Tumblr 8 months previously so it's not a year since the start of my 'nail art journey' but it is via blogger! I shall be having a little giveaway soon to celebrate so stay tuned!

Day 16: Tribal Nails (Part 2)

I really didn't want to take these nails off, so I did what I originally intended to do with them (but forgot to do like a doofus) and mattified them! I love mattified nails as I've said before, not only do they make taking pictures a billion times easier but they also look so cool! I hope you like them as much as I do :) (Part 1 here)






I used Rimmel's Matte Top Coat in addition to yesterday's colours

P.S. Do I get some kind of woman/blogger points for actually managing to post this before midnight (shock horror)?

Day 16: Tribal Print

I love doing tribal print. Somebody asked me to do a tribal nail set for them a while ago which forced me out of the 'I won't be able to do tribal print and I'll feel like a failure so I'm not going to try' mindset and made me do them, and they're great because my OCD can fade away and I dont have to be precise, I can just splodge whatever the hell I want on there and hope for the best. However, I did get a bit carried away on the detail today, I can never be simple can I? I hope you like them :)








I used toooooo many colours to list but the black and white is acrylic paint :)
