Gradient Tiger

Here is my gradient tiger print!  I did this firstly on a plain blue nail which looked great but I smudged the tiger print on a few nails while stamping and it wasn't picture worthy!  So I restarted and did a gradient of yellow and green and green and purple using Essie Nice is Nice, Models Own Jade Stone and Models Own Lemon Meringue.  I used Bundle Monster plate BM223 with W7 Black polish (which is a great stamping polish!)

I think these look nice and summery like a cocktail gradient :)  and I think the tiger print just tops it off!

Let me know what you think!

Golden Stripes (Competition Entry)

This is my second entry for My Awesome Beauty's Competition.  Clicking the link will take you to the competition page.

I used

OPI - Thanks A Windmillion

Primark - Gold

Max Factor - Onyx

I really like this combination.  I did a different take on the design and added stripes to one half.

Gradient

Essie - Nice is Nice

George - Smarty Pants

Makeup Sponge

Here is my second attempt at gradient nails!  I think they came out much better that the sunset ones!  The colours in this one seemed to blend together so much better and easier.  I painted a coat of Essie Nice is Nice first before sponging on the two colours together.

I used again the same technique as The Nailasaurus to start but because nice is nice is so thin I wasn't getting enough on the sponge so I ended up finishing it off by painting the polish straight onto the sponge.  I love how this turned out!

Silver Stripes

I have had my nails just a plain bluey green all week because I haven't had time to do any nice designs on them!  Then my sister bought me striping tape! 10 different colours and I had to try silver out on this colour!  I think you will be seeing a lot of stripe designs over the next few posts!

Cloudy Days

Had a lot of these recently :)  got the idea from Polish Art Addiction http://polishartaddiction.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/skies-above.html  she suggested a bird or two on an accent nail so I thought I would give it a go.  These only lasted an hour because my right hand just turned out disastrous and I can't go out with my nails looking less that perfect :P

The white polish didnt go on too well for me yesterday so the clouds ended up looking a bit bumpy! 

I used:

George - Smarty Pants

Marks and Spencer - White

Max Factor Onyx

Dotted Green Tips

George - Smarty Pants

George - Base Coat

Marks and Spencer - White

Cocktail Stick

Here I painted my nails all over first with 2 coats of the base coat.  Once that was dry I put the french manicure stickers on to separate the tips off and painted them the smarty pants colour and fully painted my full coloured nail.  Once that was dry I dotted the white over the tips, and all over the full colour nail for this look.  And finally a topcoat.

My fiance took this photograph :) you can find other stuff by him here. 

I created the new title at the bottom of the picture to use on all the photographs from now on.  Let me know what you think.

This is my entry for the Born Pretty Store blog competition :)

White Tipped

George - Smarty Pants

Barry M - White

George - Matt Finisher

Topcoat

Tape

Silver Tinsel

I first painted my nails all over the smarty pants colour.  When that was dry I taped of a diagonal line for the white to go.  Once the white was dry I put a topcoat on and used tinsel cut to the size of my nails to separate the two colours.  Another topcoat once it was dry and finally a matt topcoat.

Barry M - White

Tape

Excuse the messy bits around my nails! First I painted my nails all over with smarty pants, then once that was dry I cut out thin and thicker strips of tape and put them on the nails I wanted the designs on.  I painted white polish over that and peeled the tape off before it dried.  Circus nails!
