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.

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.
