Pink Glitter Gradient


I'm feeling like a fairy princess with my nails today! I did a simple glitter gradient using Barry M 349 Rose Quartz. It's this beautiful rose pink glitter with little holographic bits. The white I used is from Natural Collection - dirt cheap, and not that great quality, but does the job.


I always find that whenever I'm wearing glitter polish and am standing in the sunshine, I get distracted just looking at my nails and how sparkly they are...

Nude blossom

This week's nail art is inspired by some of the amazing designs by kimiko7878 on instagram. She has done so many beautiful hand painted floral manis which I absolutely adore, so I decided to try and do something similar. The base is Rimmel London 60 seconds Caramel Cupcake 500, and the rest is hand painted using acrylic paints. Unfortunately, my brushes were quite thick, so it was very difficult to get the delicacy I was after. Will need to buy some proper nail art brushes soon!

Spring florals inspired by OOTD!


Hello! So this week's nails are inspired by this cute skirt that I bought from Asos a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely fell in love with the pattern, and decided to recreate it on my nails! Here's the original pattern:


It's really put me in the mood for spring! I used acrylic paints and an old paintbrush that I had trimmed. This is the most detailed nail art I've ever done, so I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, even if it is a bit messy. I should probably buy some proper brushes, but till then I will make the best of what I've already got lying around the house.
