Union jack nails

 
Union jack nails inspired by team GB <3

 
They were rushed and so are very messy...but I like the design.


Gothic florals french mani.

White tips with floral designs always look elegant...but with the large size,boldcolours and harsh black outline, this design has a more gothic look about it than other floral nail art.



Floral nails

I saw a design like this on a picture on google and decided to try it out in blue and white. It takes a little while but definitely looks worth it! My favourite is the flower on the thumb.


 
 
 
 

Aztec nails

These took me forever to paint by hand...especially on my right! Trying to paint with my left hand is not easy in the slightest.
 



Gradient leopard print.

 
To make the gradient, place blobs of each colour on some paper. Using a small sponge, dip it into the blobs of colour and apply to the nails. I then added a matte top coar over the gradient to blend the colours better before painting on theleopard print design.
 


Water marbling.

This is my first attempt at water marbling...though I'd reccommend using completely different colours as similar tones clash and the effect isnt as noticable.
 


 

French tips with flicks.



More love hate nails

Gotta catch 'em all!

Pokemon nails =D
                           like a bawse.




(bit messy but ah well)

Black & silver

This design was really quick and easy to do, give it a try =]

1- Paint your nails black.


2- Cover them with a matte top coat and they should turn out like this:
(this top coat is my Oh So Nails from Next)


 

3- Now I was planning on using rhinestones, but I then realised that I have no idea where they are...so now, add your design using small silver spots and sprinkle glitter over them. (I used glitter from an old make up roller)





4- I had tried the design on every nail, but decided I preferred the bottom design, so kept it like that =)



Love and hate

Why bother with one of them love-hate tats when you can just paint it on your nails :)
Here is my first attempt at it...




Excuse the gross white varnish, it was running out so had to scribble round the letters with my nail art pen to fill in any gaps D=

Give us a smile :D

Back again with yet another rihanna-style nail design. This time just simple, easy to do smiley faces.

Lovely lace


Having tried a lace design before:
I thought I'd try again as I thought it looked pretty cool.



This time I mixed my own grey as I don't own a grey polish (daaayuumm) and used a white nail art pen by Rio :)

You Da One

I love Rihanna.
I went to see her on her loud tour and she was amazing.
Check out my amazing photography lol:


So when I saw her nails in her you da one video...I had to have a lil attempt :P


Did the triangles free hand one this which is why some are quite wonky.




I then decided to try and change it a bit.
(Excuse the streaky white coat, I rushed this.)
I think this looks quite effective...probably more so with a thicker white triangle.
