A bit of nail art!

I haven't posted any nail art for aaages so it's about time! I am really pleased with this one!




So for this I painted my ring and little fingers with Picture Polish Fairy Floss and dabbed using The Nailasaurus' gradiant technique (with a lot of extra dabbing because it didn't work the first time :p) over the bottom of those two nails with Cult Nails Love at First Sight and painted the other two nails with the same.






Now I have to inform you of the awesomeness that is MoYou. Their plates are amazing, their stampers are squishy and a good size, the prices are brilliant and best of all it's an English company :D Here I used the edge of the tree on Suki Plate 01 and some of the flowers along the bottom in Barry M Matt White. 





Then I added some finishing touches, a bit of Barry M Pink Iridescent dabbed over the bottom of the last two nails, a gem and a few little silver studs from the NPW Rock Chick Stud Wheel.   

Hope you like!

Christmas Jumper Nails

Even though I have some much more exciting posts I'm posting this one sooner seeing as it's waaay past Christmas :p These Christmas jumper type nails were always on my list of nails I have to do at some point, I had tried to freehand them but then MoYou came along!





Right I did these at Christmas and apparently didn't write down what I used and how many coats etc. so I might be off a bit. I painted all nails in two coats (I think!) of Ciate Boudoir (I'm pretty sure). Then I painted over all of them with a coat of Calvin Klein Hallucinate. Then on the ring finger I used a coat of Barry M's limited edition Christmas polish (that I bought the Christmas before :p).





And finally I stamped over each nail with different stamps from the MoYou Festive Collection plate 04 in Barry M Matte White.






I loooove them! 

It's slightly after Christmas now but I hope you all had a good one :p

Valentine's Nails

I'm already a bit late so I have to post this now :p I couldn't miss out Valentine's day nails, so many possibilities! But I decided to go obvious and went with lots and lots of hearts :D





First I painted all nails with two coats of Picture Polish Fairy Floss. Then I stamped all nails with MoYou Mother Nature plate 01 in Ciate Kiss Chase. Oo oo that reminds me, I treated myself to the Ciate Advent Calendar last year, it was brilliant and now I have all these beauties!




So for the middle nail I wanted to try a negative space nail that I saw on One Nail to Rule Them All's blog. I painted on a heart using Barry M Matte White and a dotting tool, which took me fooorever! Then used a cotton bud and acetone to remove the polish in the middle of the heart, which also took me ages :p 




Then I topped each nail with a coat of Seche Vite and that's all she wrote! 




Of course I had to matte them...




Cute! :D My negative nail is obviously nowhere near as good as on One Nail to Rule Them All but not too bad for a first try! 

Soo did anyone get anything nice for valentine's? My boyfriend got me the perfume I love before disappearing off on holiday for almost a month, I think he was trying to distract me with pretty things :p Tata for now!
