X lined nails

For the letter X i had no idea what design to do so in the end I decided to just create an X shape on my nails. This is my first ombre so I think it actually turned out ok. I really like the colours I used. What do you think??

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!

H for hearts

Hey everyone! I stuck with the obvious for the letter H, hearts. I actually had another heart themed design in mind but it didn't quite go to plan so i did this one instead. I felt in a summery mood  so decided to use quite bright colours. It's a really simple and easy to do design and didn't take very long to do. Firstly, i painted all my nails two coats of rimmel lasting finish pro in the shade wild orchid. Next, i used collection work the colour polish in the shade in the pink to create two thick diagonal stripes in a V formation at the edge of each nail to create a heart. I then used collection mardi gras polish in white out and a medium dotting tool to outline each heart on all my nails. I finished this design with a top coat.
