Shabby Chic Lace Nail Art

Hey,

I am back from holiday now, and so will be getting back to my normal posting, hopefully twice a week.  Painting my nails is tricky when I am off work.  I am back to work in 2 weeks so the nails will resume as usual then.  This week I have created a design i've been wanting to do for a while.  Unfortunately, the camera has flashed the colour out, so the pink and blue haven't shown up too well.  I hope you like the design.

Herringbone Nail Art

Hey,

Here is last weeks nail art design.  I saw Amy Tran on Instagram do this design, and it looked amazing, so of course I had to try it.  I have wanted to create a herringbone design for a long time, but never really thought I would be able to, but was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out.  I love it!! I had so many compliments too on this design, with people asking about the stencil!! There was no stencil - it was all totally freehand.  I will definitely be recreating this design again in the future, but with different colours.  Let me know if you recreate this design in the same colours or different.

Starfish Nail Art

Hey,

Today I have decided to recreate one of my old designs.  I remember when created this design first time round I fell in love with it and was so pleased with it, so I thought why not recreate it.  I must say after comparing it with my first design, there isn't really much change or improvement, which is slightly disappointing.  I will share a photo here of a then and now for you to see.  It hasn't shown up much in the photo, but I love the glitter I used on top of the blue, it really glistens in the sun, and is like the shine on the sea.

Yellow & Pink Rose Nail Art

Hey,

Here is another summer design which I love!!  I always love a floral/rose design as they're so easy to create and versatile.  I thought the pink and yellow looked really nice together.  I am struggling with thinking of designs to do next, so please leave comments below of what you'd like to see me create next.

Despicable Me 3 Nail Art

Hey,

So last week I went to see the new Despicable Me film, and I couldn't resist doing the nails.  I am so so pleased with how these turned out, and I had so much love both on Instagram and in public.  People asking me in the shops about them, which was so sweet.  This design did take some hours to do, but it was worth it!!  The only issue I have, is that every time I use yellow nail polish, it stains my nails!!  I am sure when I am on holiday, the sun will bleach them. I hope you love these as much as me!!

Birthday Nail Art

Happy Birthday to me!! (Well it was my birthday on the 28th June)

I thought I'd create this gorgeously cute birthday cake as an accent nail.  I love it!!  Unfortunately I was really quite unwell on my birthday this year, so I didn't particularly enjoy it, but never mind.  I am now 26!! Where is the time going, it's madness!!  Every year seems to be slipping by so quickly.  I remember always being told as a little girlby my mum that birthday's aren't so exciting when you get older, but I refused to believe it and always said no, they'll always be exciting!  Well, as usual, my mum was right.  Birthday's just aren't the same anymore :( Less presents, less cards, and just the fear of getting older and not having done things!!  I am sure there are many people out there that do still enjoy their birthdays!  Let me know if that's you!

Cactus Nail Art

Hey,

I've wanted to do cactus nail art in ages, but have never really had the confidence to do it, as all the designs look so complicated.  Then I came across this design by Peachypolish and I loved it and thought I would give it a go.  I am really pleased with how it turned out, and love the colour I chose to use too, which is like a olive green colour.  Let me know your thoughts.
