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!

Blue Skies

 So there's finally been some sunshine here in the UK! Which meant that I was able to take some photos outside. I was inspired by the nice weather to paint my nails a sky blue, and add some cute little fluffy clouds to the tips. I did this mani using Rimmel London Too Cool to Tango, and Natural Collection's white.

I had initially tried to use a dotting tool to make the clouds even, but because the polish is quite thin, it really didn't look good like that, so I just used the end of the brush and pressed it lightly against the tip of each brush several times. It does mean it looks a little bit uneven, but then again, so are real clouds!
