Sunset summer nails!

 My attempt of sunset palm tree nails! I have a bit of a shaky hand so the trees aren't perfect but i love the background. I used a sponge and the three main colours layered to create it. :)

Nautical nails!

 So, hi there sailor! ;) .. Tried out these sea inspired nautical nails today. It was kind of a rushed job so no straight lines for me, but it kind of gives it an aged and weathered by the sea look... (excuses). I shall try these again soon and post a much better picture.. promise!

new nail design!

So, I swear I change my nails more often thatn I change my underwear.. okay, that's a lie, that would be gross! But I have to admit that I am a bit of a nail-a-holic! So, a few weeks ago I discovered konad nail art, which is basically stamps for your nails, pretty cool! I was looking for designs for inspiration and found this.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZgNsehCQJM on channel. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it, all credit to her, no copyright intended! I didn't think this design needed changing so here is my attempt! I used a different floral stamp as I didn't have the same but think it works just aswell!
 
Ignore my strange little finger!

Here is all my supplies I used! I absolutely LOVE the peachy pink colour, fab for spring/summer and will definitely go into my autumn colour palette too!

I think it looks quite cute without the flowers too!

Cute zebra nails with coral tip!

summer nails!

One of my favourite nail designs for summer is watermelon, I got the idea from http://www.google.co.uk/imgresq=watermelon+nail&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1366&bih=673&tbm=isch&tbnid=2XRI85g1wSTJlM:&imgrefurl=http://article.wn.com/view/2011/07/11/Watermelon_nail_design_how_to/&docid=Pt3sEptkgcXJbM&imgurl=http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vMkMcvdo48g/0.jpg&w=480&h=360&ei=cZ03UIaoKpD6sgbV8oHoDA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1064&vpy=364&dur=3760&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=87&ty=169&sig=109987914085602176457&page=2&tbnh=142&tbnw=183&start=18&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:18

but adapted it slightly in my own way! I love playing with colours, sometimes I use pastel and other times I use brights. Here I used two types of green and originally two pinks! Sorry for the poor quality picture.. still yet to find a better camera!
Matching nails/fruit!

Aztec nails!



So I am new to this blogging thing but thought it would be nice to start sharing some of my nail designs, I regularly get inspired by other bloggers designs and I know mine are nowhere near is good but hey, you got to start somewhere! This is a design from a few months ago now. Loved all the Aztec prints on clothes in all the shops so decided it was time nails got with the trend! Simple to do and look pretty cute too!
