Project Nail Art: Crazy Eyes

As boredom strikes again, I find the time to whip out my nail art drawer, grab myself a cup of tea and get cracking at some nail decorating.

I'm constantly browsing Google images for inspiration, and stumbled across these adorable, yet cheeky nail designs. I can't decide whether they look more like M&Ms or PAC Man ghosts? I'll let you decide!

The colours I used were;

Brown = Barry M (cant remember the name)
Red = China Glaze High Maintenance
Orange = Sleek Florida
Blue = Barry M Cyan Blue
Green = Barry M Spring Green

In other news the Bank Holiday weekend is nearly upon us! I'm really going to miss these Bank Holidays - the next one isn't until the end of August. Is anybody up to anything nice? I have a few nice things planned...

On Saturday, myself and the girls are parading down to the travel agents and having a little nosey at some prices for Ibiza. We're going for Easter 2012 - it's 10months away, it isn't even booked and already I'm excited! Saturday night, the boyfriend and I are off to the cinema to divulge in yummy Ben & Jerry's whilst being entertained by 'The Hangover 2'. As soon as I saw the trailer for this movie I couldn't wait to see it. I love Alan - I wish I was part of his Wolf pack. On Sunday I'm spending the day with my boyfriend, before getting my glad rags on and hitting the town for cocktails with my two favourite girls. Monday should be somewhat of a hangover/feeling sorry for myself day. But, me and the boyfriend are heading out into the countryside to a lovely ice cream parlour. Mmmm. I'll hopefully put together some kind of weekend summary in photos for you all.

Have a lovely weekend!

Project Nail Art: Icecream Sprinkles

With the sunshine in the sky and the warm summer quickly approaching I figured the latest nail art post it very fitting. There's nothing I love more than an ice cream cone with lots of strawberry sauce and sprinkles on top in this gorgeous weather we've been having. So, I transferred the ice cream sprinkles on to my nails.

In other news, I hope you're all enjoying your extra long weekend: Round 2. I'd love to hear what you're all up to?

Project Nail Art: Fly like a Bee

After searching on Google Images for some nail art inspiration, I stumbled across some Bumble Bee nails. As soon as I laid my eyes on this cute little design, I decided to give it a try. Not only do you have a tiny little bee on your nails, but it gives the illusion that the bee is buzzing around on your hand. I love it!

After sitting at my vanity table with all my nail art equipment for a good 30mins, I finally produced the nail art I'd desired.

And voila...

I think this is my favourite nail art so far. Although because the bee took a lot of nail varnish to create, I had to wait ages for the little guy to dry. I jumped in the shower a little too soon and smudged him. Ooops. My boyfriend then asked where the bee had gone, whilst looking at my very smudged thumb nail from the shower. To which I responded "Hmm, he must have flown away?" :( Haha.


The base colour I used for this nail art was..

Barry M - Cyan Blue

Project Nail Art: Marble Nails

I've decided to take up a new little past time hobby. I've always loved painted my nails all different lovely colours, but when it comes to nail art, I've pretty much steered clear. I've kind of been happy just browsing at other peoples art work, and left all the 'handy work' to the professionals. (Rubbish joke alert!)

However, the other weekend, I was exceptionally bored and decided to give nail marbling a go. I've seen it around the internet before, decided to look up a tutorial on YouTube and give it a go myself.

It's quite a messy job and it was only my first attempt. On the close up photos they do look rather shoddy around the edges - but, like I said, it was my first time. I'm now happy to say I've popped my nail art cherry and should hopefully be doing more designs soon.

The colours I decided to use were; Pink, Black and White.

Here's the end result.

And here are some pretty pictures of some colour experimenting I was doing.

If you fancy a go at nail marbling, the tutorial I used was this one. She is truly a very talented lady!

I'd love to see your designs!
