Bows :)

This week I went yellow :) 

Not a fantastic photo, I just can't seem to focus my phone! 

But yes Barry M yellow, black dots using dotting tool. Little nail brush tool for bows and using my Barry M glitter nail varnish and dotting tool, I took big glitter flakes and dotting them on my bows :) and finally top coat :) 

Again.

I went for cute!

Used bright red and the nail polish brush for apple shapes :), white and green with a pin top for leaves and brown with pin top for apple core thing and white done with a fine nail brush :) added a bit if sparkle with silver glitter and top coated :) 

Apple times are cute!

Summer vacation

I spent the first two weeks of my summer doing summer club, been lazy with the nails, just dotty ones so didn't photograph. 

I did my neighbours nails again though :) 

Mike's from monsters inc.

And purple minions from despicable me 2.

One week left, then back to school. The nails will begin again :)

Simplicity

My auntie came round again, so I did her nails :) I'm fairly happy with these too! 

The red is another Barry m :), the middle finger has a white base and I used Barry m's glitter nail polish (but being honest, it looks great but is a pain to get of your nails later!) the fourth finger, I painted white first, waited for it to dry then used medical tape to make the stripes, used a dark blue and painted it straight on. Using a nail tool I drew on the heart, but you can used a kebab stick, toothpick or tape to make a shape. 

For my own nails this week I went simple :) it's the last week of school till summer and I wanted fun cute nails. 

I love green :). The big spots are a gold Avon nail varnish (given to me) used the big end if a kebab stick and the little dots are a silver/gold/pink nail varnish that has no brand name, I used the nail tool as it has a small dotting attachment. 

I hope you're all enjoying the sunshine as I can currently hear the rain coming down now. 

TTFN. 

Up till now.

Once a week, for a long time now I have done my nails in different designs. 

I usually get;

Are your nails fake? NO. fake ones creep me out, my nails are 100% mine and real.

Where do you find the time? I make it... I guess I like to spend my time off from work doing my nails, seeing friends and normal things.

There are great sites that give awesome and cheap ideas.

I use, Barry M nail varnish, it dries quickly, colours can be mixed and they have a million colours.

For shapes and dots, I use a toothpick and a kebab stick, they work wonders.

Any effects can be done with a sponge too.

Medical tape works amazingly, you can cut it to shapes and strips, it doesn't tend to rip up your basecoat like normal tape.

I must admit that the photos are taken on my iPhone and I don't wipe of the excess nail varnish on my fingers skins, straight away. I find this may ruin the nail design, or ruin the other nails while removing it. I take a photo straight away, so it's at it's best.

I do get annoyed with them sometimes, but you make the mistake and learn to do it a different way next time.

I work in a school for children with special needs, so my nails may be kid like at times, or refer to kids/school things.

I may not have all the photos, but here are ones I have saved to my computer, I shall put up the photos each week to show my new design.

Christmas nails: most defiantly time for snow and snowmen.

Clouds and balloons: Just a cute and fun idea.

Newspaper: Simple put a plain, light colour on your nails, leave to dry, damp newspaper with a bit of water, press it onto your nail, leave it for a bit, slowly pill off and hopefully it'll be done. English newspaper, or try a different language like my green nails.

Blossom: Great for Spring. I love cherry blossom, so I felt this was a cute design, toothpick for tree and sponge for white.

 Roses: I was not massively happy with these, but my friends liked the vintage feel, whatever that means.

Sponge time: Great fun to do, you could try more than two colours.

Simplicity: Basic, done with a toothpick, if you want those lines perfect, try some medical tape.

Mmm Strawberries: Tape used for the green, toothpick for the seeds.

Paint: What more fun in a classroom then messy paint.

I have a cat, whom I love, so why not show this, by doing cat nails.

Five little ducks went swimming one day: The kids loved this as I sang the song.

This weeks:

Well hey there sailor: Tape for the lines, however I was running out of white and it went lumpy, so I did get grumbly. The anchor, free hand with a toothpick.

Keep checking for more. Next week is half term, but will try a space theme.

TTFN.
