This will be a short post because I really don't have a lot to say about these nails.
I'm VERY behind on my posting.
oops
This was my first successful go at damask print. I remember trying to do it a while back and it was just a train wreck.
For some reason all of the pictures I took turned out really badly.
I'll probably redo these sometime in the future. I really like the matte top coat with it, makes it look 100x better!
Thank you for reading!

Hey everyone, today I've got some really lovely bows to show you. I know I promised a really exciting post yesterday but I didn't have time to edit them so these shall have to do. I received these from
KKcentreHK to review and I absolutely love them. However, I was really struggling to think of any ideas for what to do with them, even though I've wanted bows for ages, so I just decided to do a simple design with a dotting tool, but I actually really like how this turned out. I'm sure you'll be seeing plenty more designs with
these bows as they're definitely reusable.
There's not really much to say about these as they're pretty self explanatory. I started with a base of Collection 2000 - Angel Wings, and then used China Glaze - Liquid Leather for the black dots, which I did with a dotting tool. Then I put a coat of Seche Vite on, and then a coat of Essie - Matte about You. Then I used nail glue to add the bows.
You can get these bows
here for $4, and you get 2 in a pack. At first I did think that was a little bit pricey, but considering the amount of times you will be able to reuse them I think it's definitely worth it. You can also use my code 'ONTRTA' for 10% off :)

Hey everyone, I had the idea originally of doing these nails with studs, and then I thought perhaps studs and gold dots, and then once I'd just done the dots I quite liked them as they were, especially as they'd somehow developed to have a tree, so I added a (wonky) star on my thumb and topped with one coat of seche vite. Then I went to photograph them and no matter what I tried they looked AWFUL, the way the light was shining made them look streaky and awful so of course I decided to whack out the matte and make photographing 1000x easier (any excuse) and I actually do really like them like this, so I hope you do too!
I used a base of Nails Inc Hampstead Heath and Barry M gold foil to create the nail art and the matte top coat was one by Rimmel which doesn't have a specific name.

Hi everyone! So today I have a quick mani I did to just try out an idea, I also wanted to experiment with lighting and stuff because my dad is building me a lightbox so that's why the pictures aren't very varied. These were meant to be based around frankenstein but my sister said they looked like barbed wire so I'll leave it up to you to decide! Hope you like them :)
I used China Glaze - Electric Pineapple as a base and used a small brush to paint the black acrylic paint, topped with a coat of Rimmel's Matte top coat I dont know why the pictures came out so green because they weren't so bright in reality!
