R for rabbits

Hey everyone! For the letter R I wasn't really sure what to do! The only thing i could think of was rabbits so that is what i did. I didnt want to do all rabbits on my nails because i have already done that before so i tried to think of something a bit different. In the end i decided on doing a girl and a boy rabbit on my middle and ring finger, and flowers on the rest of my nails. Anyway, to begin with i painted all my nails with two coats of george-cloudless sky. Once this was dry i used technic pretty pastels bubblegum and an fuschia primark polish with a medium dotting tool to create flowers over most of my nail-leaving a small space near the cuticle of my nail. Once this was dry i put a small dot of the other colour in the centre of the flower. I then used a mint green accessorize polish to fill in the gaps with leaf shapes. For my middle finger nail i used collection 2000 white out to create an arch shape near the edge of my nail for the head and a dotting tool to create two long ear shapes from the head. I then used technic pretty pastels bubblegum to fill in the ears, leaving a small white gap around the edge and create a small dot for the nose at the edge of my nail. I then used a rio black nail art pen to draw in eyes and a mouth. I repeated the same steps for the outline of the bunny on my ring finger but using the opposite colours (pink for the bunny's face and ears and white for the middle of the ears). I then used a black rio nail pen to create two thin arch shapes on the bunny's face for the closed eyes. After this i used a bright pink accessorize to create a small triangle for the nose and a small flower next to the bunny's ear. Finally, i used a small dotting tool and a white polish to fill in the centre of the flower. I finished off all my nails with a topcoat.

J for Japanese cherry blossoms

Hey Everyone! I really couldn't think of anything i wanted to do on my nails beginning with the letter J. So i apologise for this nail design not really fitting under the letter J but hey-ho! I wasn't really sure of how to do a Japanese cherry blossom design on my nails so i kind of just made it up as i went along. They were really easy to do! To begin with I painted all my nails two shades of Technic seashell. Once it dried, on all of my nails except my middle finger i used a black rio nail striper to create strokes from one side of my nail to create a tree shape. I then used a bright pink nail pen to create small flower shapes along the branches and a few larger flowers at the edge of the branches. After this i used a black nail art pen to create a small dot in the centre of each flower. On my middle finger i created a few different sized flowers randomly placed across my nail. I then used a white nail pen to make a few small spots in the spaces around the flowers. I finished the design off with a top coat.

F for Fox and flowers

Hey Everyone! For the letter F i really couldn't decide whether to do foxes of flowers so i decided to do both. As most of the fox nail designs i've seen are quite autumn themed i wanted my design to be more summery so when i saw this design on hey, nice nails knew i had to recreate them. For the base coat i wanted a nudey-pale pink colour that would look subtle and pretty but look the right colour for the fox's face. However, i didn't have a nail polish that i thought would fit this description so i mixed two colours together-Rimmel lasting finishing pro bare naked and Technic pretty pastels bubblegum. I mixed fairly equal parts of both polishes and i was actually quite pleased with the end result. I then used this polish to paint all my nails with 3 coats. Once they were dry, i used an unnamed orange polish and a fine nail art brush to paint a curved line near my cuticle of my ring finger and two curved lines meeting at a point near the edge of my nail. Afterwards, i used a small dotting tool and a black polish to create two dots either side of the point for eyes and a large dot at the very edge of my nail  for a nose. On my other nails i used george- cloudless sky, an unnamed red polish and collection mardi gras-white out and a medium dotting tool to create small flowers from the tip of my nails. I used a gold rio nail art pen to create dots for the centres of all the flowers and a green one for leaves. I finished the design with a topcoat.

Flower nail art

Hey Everyone! Today's nails are just some simple flowers i decided to do. I used Miss Sporty crush on you nail polish in the grey shade (062) as the base coat for all my nails apart from my index finger which i used Seventeen quicker slicker nail polish in the shade mini skirt. After i'd done the base coat then i used the white nail polish and a dotting tool to create small flowers and dots all over my nails. For my index finger i did the same but used the grey nail polish to create the flowers. For the centres of the flowers i used a yellow polish and a small dotting tool and for my index finger i used a bright pink polish. I finished the design with a topcoat.
