Q for Quilt

Hey everyone! For the letter Q i really didn't know what to do! The only thing i could think of to was quilting but i wasn't sure about doing this design on my nails. Instead i thought i would try and do patchwork quilt style nails. Although most of the designs i've seen were split into four parts but i thought this might be a bit tricky for me to do so i decided just to stick with two. I knew I wanted to do roses on one side but i wasnt sure what to do on the other side so in the end i just did polka dots. Anyway, to begin with i painted my nails with two coats of rimmel lasting finish pro wild orchid. I know i use this polish a lot but i just love the colour and it's so opaque and easy to apply- I would definitely recommend this polish because i love it! To do the roses i used a dark pink rio nail pen to create small, rough circular shapes (these will eventually turn into roses)  across the left side of each nail. I then used a pale pink accessorize nail pen to create random shapes inside each dark pink circle. To finish off the roses i used a mint green accessorize nail pen to create small leaf shapes on either side of each rose. I then used the brush end of this colour to paint the right side of my nail. Once this was dry i used a darker teal accessorize nail pen to do small dots all over the mint green section of my nails. Finally, i used a white rio nail striper to create small crosses along the join of the mint green section and the lilac section on each nail. I finished this design off with a topcoat. This was really quick and easy to do. I hope you like it. Please comment below what you think!

L for Lace

Hey everyone! For the letter L I wanted to do a lace design on my nails but i thought most of the designs looked incredibly detailed and difficult to do. So in the end i decided to do a simpler design inspired by this design by HannahRoxNails. This design took a bit of patience but was not as difficult to do as i thought it would be. Anyway, to begin with i painted all my nails two coats of Rimmel lasting finish pro wild orchid which is a bright lilac colour which i really like. Once all my nails were dry i used a white nail striper create diagonal lines both ways across the bottom of all my nails. I then used a white rio nail pen to create two or three half flower shapes above the cross-hatched part of my nails. After this, i used the white nail striper to make arches over the flower shapes. Finally, i used the white nail pen to create a line of small dots along the arched lines. I finished the design off with a topcoat.

B for Bunting

Hey everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long since i've posted but i will try and keep posting fairly regularly from now. Today's nails are bunting inspired. I wasn't sure what to do for B because there are so many possibilities but i decided on these. I know they're a bit simple but i think the colours look pretty together. Anyway, i painted all my nails two coats of rimmel lasting finish pro in the shade wild orchid. By the way, this nail polish is great, it lasts for ages and gives a really smooth, opaque finish so i would definitely recommend it. Then i took a white nail striper and painted a curved diagonal line across all of my nails. I then took a white rio nail art pen and drew medium sized triangles along one side of the curved line on all of my nails.Afterwards, i used a bright pink rio nail art pen to fill in all of the triangles but leaving a white border around the edge of each triangle. My triangles are a bit wobbly but i'm sure you could do better ones. Finally, finish off with a top coat.
