Fox in the Snow

Hey guys! I have been a bit off the radar for the last couple of months, reason being - I went skiing for 2 weeks, and now i'm galavanting around the UK! As I am writing this I am in york watching escape to the country - getting into more of a british mode! Back to the nails! When I painted these nails it was getting right into winter in sydney, and I was about to head off to the snow, so these are more in theme with that! I hope you enjoy them!

Winter Nails

Hey guys! I'm going skiing next week! woohoo! I'm a little excited :-D So I decided to do some snow themed nails for my trip.

More pictures and polishes used after the break...

Alien Nails!

Hey guys, I have some nails today that were requested by my friend. He wanted aliens and spaceships, so I did alien heads and UFOs... same difference right? For these I didn't really know what I wanted to do for the UFO, though I did want it to look like a typical alien spacecraft. My first try I started with a metallic base for my UFO, but it was a little... harsh? I don't know, it just didn't look right. But then again I have a tendency to only use cremes in my nail art, and I was convinced that this needed some metallic spacey-ness... anyway, Here they are!

The polishes I used today were:
Base:
China Glaze Snow (white) (1 coat)
China Glaze White on White (white) (1 coat)

Aliens:
China Glaze Def Defying (green)
China Glaze Liquid Leather (black)

UFOs:
China Glaze Recycle (grey)
China Glaze Icicle (silver)
China Glaze Liquid Leather (black)
China Glaze Metallic Muse (metallic teal)

I also made a pictorial so you guys can see how they were made!

I hope you guys like these, they were pretty fun to design and paint! See you next time! :-)

Easter Nails

Hey Guys, its rainy and gross today, so I decided to do some happy nails! Its Easter soon, which is super exciting, who doesn't love chocolate right?! So I decided to do a set of themed nails. As you might be able to see, I have been enjoying doing small repeating patterns, so I tried to do my Easter nails with the same sort of idea.

Also, I hope you like my socks. My friend bought them for me as she doesn't think I eat enough vegetables, so these help right? :-P
For these nails I started with a white base and added the details with a dotting tool and a very thin striper.
The polishes I used were:

Base:

China glaze snow and China glaze white on white (white)

Chicks:

China glaze happy go lucky (bright yellow)

OPI atomic orange (Orange)

China glaze liquid leather (Black)

Eggs:

China glaze lemon fizz (light yellow)

China glaze peachy keen (light orange/peach)

China glaze re-fresh mint (mint green)

China glaze kinetic candy (light blue)

China glaze sweet hook (light purple)

I have also included some photos of Easter nails I did last year. Sorry for the quality of the photos.. I clearly hadn't heard of sun before. 
The first set of Easter nails are just a mash up of a bunch of designs I had seen around the internet. I did have major troubles with the chevrons though, and still I am never very confident doing them, but maybe I will experiment a little more now with them and try to improve!

These second nails are my version of Chalkboard Nails' Easter Mix-up. These were a cool, fun and bright take on the usually pastel Easter nails, and were so fun to wear!

Hope you guys have a great Easter, and I would love to see any cool Easter inspired designs you have tried! :)

Pineapple Nails and pictorial

Hey guys, today I am going to show you a set of nails I did a couple of months ago. These are some of my favourite nails I did over the summer. I have always liked the look of a small repeated pattern, and due to all the fresh fruit around I decided to do a pineapple pattern!

Left Hand

Right Hand

My right hand, as you can see, was considerably less detailed than my left, mainly due to laziness. Being right handed, it becomes very time consuming to do such detailed designs on my right hand as well, so sometimes I cut corners and do a simpler, related design on my right hand.

I have made another pictorial for this design to show you guys how I did this nail art. 

The polishes I used were 

China Glaze Snow (white)

China Glaze Lemon Fizz (light yellow)

China Glaze Happy Go Lucky (yellow)

China Glaze Gaga For Green (green)

China Glaze StarBoard (dark green)

I also used a medium sized dotting tool and a striping brush

Hope you guys like them!
