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.

P for Pirates

Hey everyone! For the letter P i decided to do pirates as i thought it would be a fun and easy design to do. I thought about doing an anchor or stripes on some of my nails but i thought that might be too similar to my A for anchor nails so i decided to stick with pirates on all of my nails. Anyway, to begin with as i didn't think i had the right colour for the pirate's face, I mixed two colours together-Rimmel lasting finishing pro bare naked and Technic pretty pastels bubblegum. I used slightly more of the pink polish (bubblegum) and i was quite pleased with the result. I painted all of my nails with three coats of this colour. Once dry, i painted a thick red stripe across the top of each of my nails with two small lines hanging down on the left side for the pirates' bandana using an unnamed red polish from a boots gift set. I then used a white polish and medium dotting tool to create dots all over the red part of each of my nails. Afterwards, i took a black rio nail pen to add the features for the face: an arch shape and a curved line for the eyepatch; a dot for the eye, and a curved line for the mouth. I finished off the design with a topcoat.
