The second I saw what today's post was I knew what I wanted to do. I did this design before way back when I never took pictures of my work (idiot) and it probably wasn't very good anyway but it's such an awesome design that I wanted to do it again. I chose this tutorial by the Daily Nail, the blog that started me on the path to nail art, and let's face it she is awesome at nail art!
I love these nails because they really stand out and I'll be re-doing them for my holiday on Saturday (don't worry I have lots of posts lined up) because I can't take any nail varnish with me (BOO)
Hope you like them! I had to mattify them because I've run out of Seche Vite and whilst I have other top coats they are AWFUL and I didn't want to ruin these nails with them + matte is awesome.

I had no idea what to do today so I just turned it into "inspired by halloween" and did a halloween themed post with a haunted house, bats and ghosts.
The background is Barry M - Black and then I use white acrylic paint for the outlines.

Hi everyone! A break from the challenge today to bring you a tutorial for some nails I did for a website called Motel Rocks, it's a clothes website and they have some really lovely stuff. You can check out my post on their blog here and check out their website here.

I must say that the olympics have made me very proud to be British and I was definitely supporting Team GB the whole time, so when we placed 3rd in the medal table (which, when you think about how small we are, is quite a feat) I knew I wanted to do flag nails related to the olympics.
Our flag takes pride of place on my middle finger (don't look too much into that) and in order of the top 5 from thumb to middle finger is the American flag, the Chinese flag, our flag, Russia's flag and the Republic of Korea's flag.
The base to all nails was Barry M - Matt White and I also used Barry M for the red and blue and acrylic paint for the yellow and black. All details were done with a small brush. Hope you like them! There's only one picture today because it seemed a bit silly (and offensive) to cut off the American flag on my thumb as I usually do.

These nails might seem rather lazy but I had barely any time to do this design in and I couldn't think of anything inspired by artwork that wouldn't take a billion hours to do.
I have done this design before, before I had this blog and before I could actually take pictures of my work that were in focus. I have a few designs on my computer that are all out of focus and I've been intending to redo them all for a while, mainly so that I have good pictures of them but also to see how I've improved in the last year or so. So consider this the first installment, perhaps I should post before and after photos? What do you think?
For this design I used Barry M for the red, yellow and blue, and unnamed pink from a set I got ages ago and China Glaze - Gaga For Green. Then I did the details in acrylic paint and Barry M - Matt White. Hope you like them!

I had a billion ideas for this but I chose this one because it was different to my usual style, hope you like it!
All done with dotting tools of different sizes on a background of China Glaze - Refresh Mint

Hello everyone, I'm afraid I'm not a massive follower of fashion, in fact most of the 'fashionable' pieces of clothing in my wardrobe are those that I barely ever wear, so for this challenge I turned to trust Google images and put in 'fashion' and then chose the first thing that caught my eye.
I used Orly - Glowstick and Barry M - Matt White and Black with tape to create these nails, hope you like them!
Of course as is always the case with neons it was difficult for the camera to pick up, but I promise you it was incredibly bright, and you'll just have to take my word for it ;)
