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.

C for cupcakes

Hey everyone! After much deliberation, i decided to do cupcakes on my nails for the letter C because i thought they would look pretty but be fairly easy to do. However, they didn't turn how quite how I wanted them to and I'm not that happy with the way they look but i do think they still resemble cupcakes so i decided to post them anyway. I used a new nail polish from bodycare for the base of all my nails, it's a technic nail varnish called seashell, it's a kind of metallic pale pink/lilac and i really like it. I then used a revlon nail polish in the shade sweet tart to paint roughly a third of the way up all my nails. After that had dried, i used maybelline fuchsia and a thin brush to paint stripes vertical on the pink part of my nails. I then used a white rio nail pen to paint a curved line at the top of my nail and filled it in, slightly overlapping the pink part of my nail and creating drips to look like icing. To finish it off, i used a dotting tool with technic's flamingo to create a small heart on the top of each nail. I finished it off with a top coat. By the way, on my thumb i did dots for "sprinkles" but didn't really like them so i decided to leave them off the rest of my nails.

Owl and polka dot nails

Hey Everyone! Today's nails are some really simple and easy to do polka dots and owls. I wasn't sure how to do my nails but seeing as i love owls and have been wanting to do them for some time i decided to match them with some contrasting polka dots. I used pink and bronze for my nails but you could use any colours you want. To begin with i painted all my fingers apart from my index finger two coats of collection work the colour nail polish in the shade- raspberry pink because i just love this colour and seem to be using it all the time even though i only recently brought it. Then I painted my index finger two coats of Rimmel lasting finish pro nail varnish, bare naked. Once all my nails were dry i simply dipped a medium sized dotting tool into miss sporty lasting colour nail polish in the colour- fall. I used my dotting tool to create evenly spaced dots across all my nails apart from my index finger. For my index finger i used the dotting tool in the bright pink to create an arch shape, which should cover most of your nail, for the owls body, then create two small triangles for ears either side of the top of the body. I then used a dotting tool in "fall" to create two teardrop shapes either side of the body for wings and three dots on the owl's stomach for feathers. Afterwards, i used a white rio nail pen to create large eyes for the owl and a black nail pen for pupils. Finally, i used a bright orange nail striper to create a triangle for the beak. I finished the design with a top coat.

leopard print nail art

Hey Everyone! Today's nail art is a leopard print design. I've been seeing loads of leopard print nails recently so i decided to give it a go. It is really simple and easy to do and i love it because all your nails can be different. I really like how it turned out and i will definitely do it again. For the base coat i used two coats of Rimmel 60 seconds nail polish in the colour-precious metal (810). I then used a bright pink rio nail pen to create random shapes across all my nails. After i did this i outlined some of the shapes using a black rio nail pen. I finished the design with a top coat.
