Winnie the Pooh inspired nails.

When I was only a young'un Winnie the Pooh was my favourite thing in the whole wide world. He made me a very happy little person so I thought I would pay a tribute to my idol and do some Winnie the Pooh inspired nails...


 Image from Google.
  • Starting with covering the nails in a base coat and leaving them to dry.
  • Paint little finger a pale pink. Ring finger - a purpley blue. Middle finger - yellow. Index finger - a nude or very pale brown. Thumb - a sky blue. Leave to dry.




Nail polishes used - Color Club - 39. Collection 2000 - BMX Bandit.
 W7 - First class. Barry M - Nude. Color Club - 51.
  • Once nails are dry and had second coat if needed. Start off by using either a darker pink or a light purple to add stripes to the little finger nail to look like Piglet's stomach. 
  • On the ring finger, I firstly used a very pale pink to draw on a bow. Then outlined it with a black nail art pen to show off Eeyore's lovely tail.  
  • Using tape, I sectioned off the top and bottom of the nail to leave the middle exposed on my middle finger. I painted the middle red and removed the tape slowly and carefully whilst the polish was still wet. Now we have Winnie the Pooh's belly.
  • I then used an orange on my index finger, just on the two sides of the nail. Once dry I used a black nail art pen to draw some little stripes. To look like Tigger's belly.
  • Using the black nail art pen again, drawing on a little bumble bee & some flying lines. Then leave all to dry for a good amount of time.
  • Lastly finish with a top coat and leave to dry.
Polishes used for the second part. Models Own - Dinky Pinky. Color Club - 42. Barry M - Bright Red. Essie - Orange, It's Obvious. 

Models Own Black Nail Art pen was used for all black parts.


Not the greatest attempt at nail art, but for my first go. Not too shabby. Except for my stripey bumblebee who's stripes molded together for him to become a fly. 
Let me know what you think :)

New Year Glitter Nails!


New Years tomorrow and getting into the party spirit with a glitter nail design. Only using two nail polishes and 2 pots of glitter, I managed to create these party nails. 
  • Firstly using a base coat to protect the nail.
  • Cover the nail in a clear polish, whilst the nail is still wet sprinkle on the silver glitter to all fingers except the thumb, use a glitter colour of your choice. (May want to use a plastic container to catch all the unwanted glitter to make clean up easier)
  • Use a clear polish to seal the glitter in place. 
  • Using a colour of your choice, paint the tips of the four nails you covered in silver glitter.
  • Want to dry and use a top coat to finish.



Happy New Year, everyone!

Nail Polish Challenge #2 - Least Favourite Polish

Helloooo!
As I have been away for a while since I wanted to start this challenge. I shall post one polish every day for this week. So I can catch up :)

Least Favourite Polish

Untitled Color Club Polish
Personally I just find this colour very boring and can hardly see you've even bothered painting them.

Comic Relief. Red Nose Day Nails.

As i was reading through blogs yesterday, i found a cute post by Lizzie at Lizzie's Blog about Red Nose Day and a nail design she did. You can read this post here.
So i thought i would do my own little design for this lovely day in the UK. 

Bit of a pointer before i start, i know some of the photo's below are not in great focus. I was just getting used to the camera i am using now. Thank you o'sister of mine! But now i think i have the hang of it. 






Nail colours i used are: 
Barry M - Bright Red
Wetnwild - French Manicure White
Collection2000 - Black
Color Club - Top Coat

So i started off painting every finger nail red apart from my ring finger on both hands. 

 On one hand i dotted white on my pointing finger (i know this is not the official name for this finger, but it sounds right to me ha) I also painted a big red blob on my ring finger.


 On the other hand i dotted my thumb with black spots and dotted my ring finger with white nail varnish.


I then dotted on two small white circles (they were circles until i smudged the one, now i don't know what shape they are) and then two tiny black dots. Isn't it cute? :)



I also used the most famous blogging nail design tools around. Brought off Amazon.co.uk

Hope you liked them as they were fun but a pain to do.
