Tribal nails

Here is my final rejected design for the Barry M competition, I completely forgot to post this here last night but did post it to my Tumblr. Sorry about that! Hope you like them :)
Also, thankyou for all your votes, I now have 25 nail varnishes on their way to me because I came second :D

4th of July

Wait! What do you mean it's not the 4th of July yet?? Yep, that's right. I'm early (for once)!! My holiday nails are usually done quickly and posted the day of the holiday. So I'm really happy to be posting these nails early. I may be a bit biased, but I adore the US flag. There are a few other flags I like but never as much.

This is three coats of white which I then taped over the bottom half of before painting the blue. I added red stripes to the bottom half and white stars to the top half. I free handed the stars this time. I think it was easier than trying to trace around star shaped gems. Now I just have to focus on drawing them smaller for other designs.

I wanted to try something different with my picture this time. I love how some bloggers have large pieces of jewelry or hold coffee cups or any number of things besides a nail polish bottle or going claw. So, I decided to try a flower this time until I can browse my local shops for something else. :)

Jelly beans!

Hi everyone! Here's a (small) break from repeated posting of metallic nails in the form of a jelly bean nail set. A close family friend asked me to do 'jelly bean nails' and was no more descriptive, so I was left to come up with a design on my own. I was just going to do big jelly beans on all the nails and the 'Jelly Belly' logo on the thumbs but I changed my mind last minute and came up with this. I really like how they turned out because they're so colourful. I'm a bit disappointed with the Jelly Belly logos because the yellow acrylic went incredibly transparent when I put a top coat on, but I can learn for next time! Also, these are now available on my Etsy :)



 There are WAY too many colours to list but if you want to know just ask :)
Sorry for the picture heavy post, I'm a bit obsessed with these nails!
Hope you like them :D
