Punky nails

Howdy!

Today I'm rocking some punk style nails.

There's not really an awful lot to them to be honest. I started by painting my thumbs and pinky fingers black (Barry M Nail Paint - Black), ring and middle fingers white (Barry M Nail Paint - White), and index fingers red (L'Oreal Colour Riche - Rouge Pin Up).

Once they were dry I took a little of the black and created a triangle shape at the base of the my index fingers and some (badly done, thanks striping tape...) black stripes on middle fingers.

I topped each nail with a liberal coat of Nails Inc Matte Topcoat and using the tip of an orangewood stick and some embellie gellie I attached some gold square studs in various ways as little accents.

The square studs were bought from a seller on Etsy, I got a set of 200 (gold & silver) for only a couple of quid.

Bit messy and not my neatest work but I still like em :)

That's all from me for now, catch ya all again soon!

Leopard print naily art (meeeeeeeow!)

Howdy!

How are all you folks doing? Mid-week already, I'm sure I've lost a few days somewhere?!

Today I'm sporting some leopard print nails!! Animal print isn't something I usually go for myself, but I'm quite feeling it today. Here's what I did (all photos at the bottom):

Using a matte brown effect polish and a metallic gold polish I did half/half style straight down the middle of each nail, I used the same brown matte effect polish to create a plain accent nail on my ring fingers. Swapping the colours (gold on brown and brown on gold) I painted random blobs on top of each base colour using a medium sized dotting tool, then painted on random black detail lines with a small paint brush. I finished off by adding a line of tiny little gold caviar beads down the centre for a little extra detail and sparkle.

I recommend getting some Embellie Gellie for adding little beady/gemmy/small bits, makes things so much easier! It's a mildly tacky soft type glue that lasts for absolutely ages as you only need a little at a time. You can buy it via amazon and it's not too expensive :)

Also, how cute is my lil snakey ring I picked up for a couple of quid last week! Loving it!

'Til next time!
