A franken pink and some sticks and stones...

I was getting pretty bored! 

I decided to paint my nails both a franken pink and a new pink I hadn't tried before. 

Then I got really bored and added some sticks and stones and stripes. 

Pink index and middle: Ciate Jelly Bean

Pink ring, pinky and thumb:  Franken Jessica

Top: Cover Brands Sticks and Stones

This is the Franken colour I made.

It shall be called Jessica

Bright halo nails...

Again following on from the trying all the nail ides from Grazia Magazine...

today I did Halo Nails.

I did these pretty easily, I painted the nail a nudey brown shade and then used a nail art pen to draw my outline. 

The magazine suggests painting your nails the bright colour and then painting only the centre with a nude colour (I would suggest painting the centre white and then the nude colour to make sure it really shows up on top of the bright base)

This is my attempt... 

Next time I might try with Orange or Green!

Green geometric nails.

As promised here is my Green geometric manicure...

This manicure was super easy to do! 

Firstly I painted the pale green as a base, then once dry I used a nail art pen to paint the bright green and then darker green.

no masking tape ripping off nail polish and sharp crisp lines! woohoo! 

I hope you like.

Penguin nails

Super Duper Cute!

Penguin's are my second favourite animal. 

so I had to tribute them on my nails...

It was actually super easy, and I love them! 

I just made the design up (based on a few I'd seen on instagram) and I need a little more practice to perfect the precision of the eyes and beak. 

(the blue blobs were meant to be snowflakes)

I think I'd just do them all penguin's next time.

Blue beads and stripes

Today I thought I'd try something new..

I had seen these cool nails at The Nailasaurus  where she had used all these little studs on her nails.

As I don't own any little studs - but I do have heaps of little beads I thought I would try with beaded nails...

I'm not too sure on the overall look.

After leaving the beads on for a little over an hour before I started picking them off while watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch

I decided to pick them all off and paint a simple black stripe.

I think I like these way more, and will probably try a similar blocking design again.

Striped fun nails...

another day of uni-break, another day of nail art fun.

Today is stripy! 

I actually was thinking of doing Tribal Nails which I had seen lots of online, but my attempts were not very good.

In the end I liked how the plain stripes looked - however I wish they were straighter lines. 

I can only improve right?

Spotty nails!

So as it's now uni holiday's I have a lot more time on my hands.

accordingly I have a lot of nail polish designs to try out. 

These are some I saw online - the ones I saw looked way better as the dots were all in line, and the same shape/size. 

(but hey, I'll keep working on it)

Green and grassy manicure...

I decided to paint my nails with the epic green colour I bought recently! 

I then got a bit bored later on and was playing around with some black stripes...

(I was originally just going to do boring parallel stripes on an angle all over the nail) 

but then I decided the brush stroke actually looks really cool and kind of grass like...

so then I decided to add a few more green tones.

and created this.

I put my matt finish top coat on the ring finger

(I don't think it looks as cool as glossy finish)

so I painted a glossy top coat over it.

and here is my final result! 

Tiger nails

another attempt at the gradient nail effect.

Ok, Ok, I know I've tried it a lot of times now...

I got a bit bored of just having plain gradient nails, so decided to spice it up a little with some tiger stripes.

FUN!

Colorfully abstract

So I've been having some more fun with my nail polishes.

I decided to go for a bright and abstract manicure! 

As for the nail polish I used this time:

I decided to try out a few different funky patterns.
