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...

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.
