W for Witch

Hey everyone! For the letter W, seeing as it is nearly halloween then i thought i would do a witch themed nail art design. I used orange and black to create stripes and then added a black cat and witch hat to make it a bit more unique. What do you think?? Ellena x

T for Teenage mutant ninja turtles

Hey everyone! For the letter T there were a few things i wondered about doing on my nails but in the end i stuck with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle nail art. I also thought this would tie in quite well with the new film being released here in the UK in a week or so. I am desperate to see this film! Anyway, back to the nails, they were really simple and easy to do and i am pleased with how they turned out. I made them quite sparkly and girly as i used glitter but i'm sure they would look good without. I have got quite a lot of new nail varnishes recently so i have used a few to create this design. Firstly, i painted all my nails-apart from my thumb-with  two coats of Rimmel london 60 seconds Sky High. I really like this polish and it was really opaque and smooth. Next i painted these nails with one coat of Jess-tiger lily. This is a gorgeous green glitter polish which i love, it was from poundland and is a real bargain. I then painted my thumb with two coats of miss sporty funtasy 020. This polish is a shimmery dark silver with iridescent glitters and i think it is really unique and fun! I then used four different colours to create a thick stripe across the top of each of my green nails for the masks. Little finger-flashmob, turn up the juice; ring finger-collection 2000 work the colour, sonic blue; middle finger-rimmel lasting finish pro wild orchid and pointer finger- unnamed red polish from a boots gift set. To complete these the TMNT nails then i used a large dotting tool and a white polish to create eyes on the masks and a small dotting tool with a black polish for pupils. Then i did the pizza on my thumb nail. I used george-fortune teller to create a fairly wide stripe near the top of my nail for the pizza crust. I then used miss sporty-popcorn to draw a large triangle shape from the crust to the end of my nail. I found that the easiest way to do this was to put a small dot where you want the triangle point to be and then join the edges of the line and the dot together and fill it in. Once this was dry, i used and unnamed red polish and the green polish with a medium sized dotting tool to create the pizza topping by placing random dots all over it. I finished this design 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.
