A Bouquet of Flowers!

Hey guys! 

How are you all today? I went canyoning over the weekend again and managed to hurt my foot by jumping off a rock into a pool and going a little too far... The worst part though (I think) was going to the doctor to get it checked and the nurse thinking I was an adrenalin junkie that jumps off cliffs all the time... oops! Anyway, I also did some house sitting and to say thank-you I was given a beautiful bunch of flowers! They were so lovely that I thought they would be perfect inspiration for this weeks set of nails!



I also realised I say "this weeks nails" alot, especially considering I'm the worst at uploading regularly or weekly. The plan is to upload at least weekly though.. So that's a start right? Anyway, back to the nails - I really love these! I'm not sure if this is where I thought I was going with them when I started, but super happy with how they turned out. Also, I haven't made a tutorial for these - with nails like this it makes it really hard to paint the detail with the camera in the way. With saying that, if anyone wants a tutorial I might end up making one, who knows! I think maybe I should just work on my set up, to be able to have it in a way that doesn't make it extra tricky!

Anywho, here are all the photos I took, as well as a couple with the flowers in it too! Mmm so pretty!








Phew! That was alot of pictures... 
The polishes I used for these nails were:
Jessica Cosmetics Sharktooth
Jessica Cosmetics Flirty
China Glaze Heli-Yum
China Glaze Tart-y for the Party
OPI Honk if you love OPI
China Glaze Gaga for Green
China Glaze Starboard
China Glaze Lemon Fizz
China Glaze Liquid Leather

Hope you enjoyed this post and these nails! See you next time :-)

Maple Tree in the Moonlight

Hey guys!

How are you all today? I only have one more exam left until I have finished university forever! I'm pretty excited :) Today's nails have nothing to do with this though, but you can check them out anyway.

Leaf Nail Art

Hey Guys! Its the weekend, and it's super sunny which is nice, it hasn't been like this in ages! I was hoping to go to the beach but it is still pretty cold out, and I'm not that brave...
Today's nails are this cool, simple leafy pattern I found on pinterest. I wasn't able to match it exactly, my brush strokes are a little too thick on the outlines (I think I'm going to start working on thinner lines), but I am suprised how much I like them!

Daisy Nails!

Hey guys! I have been sick all week and I'm just starting my thesis so these are a bit later in the week than usual, sorry! I will try and get them done once a week. I hate leaving them longer! Anyway, I chose a taupe background and my plan was to do a colourful floral design. I tried a couple of things, but nothing looked any good and then I thought of this design I saw a while back by NailStorming and tried some daisies! 


More pictures after the break!

Leafy nails

Hey guys, today I have some new nails! I was struggling with ideas for this one. My friend had requested I do foxes jumping... but I am not so confident that they will come out like foxes, and instead they will look like red/orange/brown blobs. Anyway, I might try them later on when I am feeling super arty. Today I did some leafy nails instead. I was googling patterns and i found a really cool one that I thought would translate well onto nails!. 
So that's enough rambling, here are my nails:






Oh, and this was my inspiration! How pretty is it! :P
