Simple floral nail art

I've been a bit low on inspiration this week, so I just did something simple.


The polish is Sinful Colors Winterberry, and the flowers are in acrylic paint. It didn't really turn out quite how I imagined, mainly because I was painting quite late last night, and I didn't realise how yellow the yellow really was, until this morning! So, fried eggs or flowers, it depends on how you look at it!

Togepi Pokemon Nail Art!


So originally, my line of thought was it's Easter, let's do Easter egg nails. However, I ended up going from Easter eggs, to Pokemon eggs! So here's Togepi, an egg pokemon, and one of my favourite pokemons ever, hence why I have the toy that you can see I'm holding here!

The white polish I used for the background is from Natural Collection, and the pattern and detail is done in acrylic paint.

Hand painted water lilies!


I am so in love with my nails this week! I spent absolutely ages on them, but I think I can definitely say it was worth it. Water lilies are one of my favourite flowers, and now I can wear them on my nails too.

 

I did this design using acrylic paints and some nail art brushes that I bought recently from Born Pretty. They were perfect for getting all of the detail I needed.


I think it's fair to say that these are my best nails yet, and I won't be taking them off any time soon!

Gold Half Chevrons


Did some simple half chevrons this week. I still haven't managed to get a hang of using striping tape yet, so the edges are a bit off on some nails, but oh well.
I used 17 Fast Finish in Nightshade and Barry M Foil Effects 320.

Easter holidays are coming up, so hopefully I'll be able to do a lot more and more detailed nail art to keep posting over my exam period! I have my AS exams in a few weeks, and I'm not looking forward to them at all...
