Purple Gradient!

Hi guys!

Today I have my very first gradient to show you!

Caviar With A Difference!

Happy Sunday!

So I was having a think of what I could do next for you guys and I was thinking over a couple of ideas, but then I went into Poundland again. I promise I'm not always in there, even though it might seem like that!

These caught my eye instantly!

"Caviar!" They are in small bottles which makes them so cute and the colours (I thought), were amazing!  

So I had to do a design with them! Because there isn't a lot of these little beads in one particular colour, I knew I couldn't put them over all of my nails, like you usually would with this type of nail art, and even if I only covered two nails on each hand, I would have used all or most of the caviar up!

I then came up with this design:

One Direction Nail Art!

Hey people!

I went to see One Direction perform at the O2 arena yesterday and they were amazing! If you don't know who One Direction are...have you been living under a rock? They're basically the biggest boy band in the world at the moment and they sound awesome!

Anyway, on to the nail art:

 



I chose different designs to represent the five different boys in the band. The thumb represents Harry Styles and his love of cats.

The mirror on my index finger is for Zayn Malik as he's the 'vain' one in the band.

For my middle finger I painted a spoon with a red cross for Liam Payne because of his phobia of spoons (weird I know but he's adorable).

The design on my ring finger is supposed to represent Louis Tomlinson's signature look - stripy t-shirt and red bottoms with suspenders.

Finally, the Irish flag on my little finger nail is for Niall Horan (the only Irish member of the otherwise British band).

They aren't as good as they could be as I rushed slightly and didn't leave the base colours to dry for long enough (oops) but I think they came out alright.

What do you think?

Glittery Blue!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a nice Easter and more importantly, received and ate loads of chocolate?!

I have a nail polish for you, which I knew I wanted to try it straight away! I used Avon - Vintage Blue (which I used in this nail design!) It's a very light shade of blue, and in my opinion its very suited for spring and even summer and I think I will be wearing a lot more of it :-)

Here is what it looks like on its own:

Easter Nails!

Happy Easter!

How is everyone? Hope you've all got lots of chocolate eggs to eat!

Today's design is inspired by Easter:

I used two coats of Barry M - Ridley Road for the base colour of my nails then used a small paintbrush and Barry M - Yellow to paint the chick on my accent nail. I waited until the chick was completely dry then used Vie - Apricot for the beak and Barry M - black for the eyes.

Catch-up & Easter Nail Art!

Hello everyone! It's Dee here :-)

Sorry for not posting some of my own stuff recently! I've been quite busy and my nails have been quite bad, so I've had to give them a rest for a while!

However as you probably know from Li, we went to see a band called Lawson on Saturday the 16th of March! If you know who they are - high five!

They are a UK band and have their own You Tube channel so if you want, check them out click here!

So, I decided to do a gradient on my nails for the concert and it was my first time doing it! This was probably why it didn't look very good! I will practise and do a gradient for you all soon!

I then decided to put Lawson's logo design over my nails as its quite easy! Below is a picture for you lovely people!

I used Collection 2000 Hot Looks - Bongo Beat, Avon - Peppermint Leaf and Barry M black for the Lawson logo across my nails!

 

So because its nearly Easter (for the UK - I'm not sure about everywhere else!), me and Li, thought that we better do some Easter inspired designs, in case you wanted to have something on your nails over the Easter period!

So here is a picture of my finished design, and I will tell you how to do it below!

Crackle & Sparkle

Hiya!

Today I have a very simple design using a purple crackle from Barry M's nail effects range.

with topcoat

I used two coats of Outdoor Girl - Sparkling Nail Polish in Blue (though it just looks silver on the nail) as the base colour for all my nails, except my accent nails which I painted with two coats of Barry M - Vivid Purple.

Then I took Barry M - Nail Effects 137 (this is a purple crackle the same shade as Vivid Purple) and painted one coat over the Outdoor Girl. I love the colours purple and silver together and I think these colours suit this effect really well. To finish my design I layered one coat of Barry M - Silver Glitter onto my accent nails.

Let me know what you think of this design?
