Hello there guys!! I hope you've made it well through the week. Back to all the craziness of life is hectic as you'd imagine. I've been making time for nail art as I had none last year and since I have more free periods this year it seems to be helping (for now at least, this is not going to last).
I have a cute design today, I love nautical designs and I haven't done anything like this before. It's no ground-breaking design but I like the simplicity and the print style.
So we have anchors and sailboats, I think they're uniform enough. I was proud of the freehnad straight line on my thumb but everyone thought I was making some kind of Pepsi reference. Which is actually a fair point as my friend actually had a picture of Pepsi and it was worryingly similar. I know the design got a bit smudged but I still like it as it's cute and I love that colour scheme (that's all it takes for me to like a design).
I freehanded the anchors and boats, I had to touch them up a lot, getting the black outline was much harder than it looked. It was so uneven. Touching up alone took an age. I know you probably didn't notice but yes my pinky chipped before taking pictures and I moved on to a new design so we all have to deal with a chip :/ Like it's small enough that it doesn't bother me haha.
Red: Barry M - Turbo Charged
Blue: H&M - Blue My Mind
White: Barry M - Cotton

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a fab day!! :)
Hi there guys!! I was stuck for this prompt, so I created a playlist of songs I could possibly do. Then I had too many ideas, in the end it came down to what song I wanted you guys to hear the most. So I chose "Something In The Water" by Brooke Fraser. It's one seriously beautiful song, from the melody, lyrics to the instrumentation, all uplifting and feel good. It's virtually the definition of a beautiful song.
What I painted is a scene from the video, a Russian doll on the sea. It looks kind of paper-y so that's why I made the design matte. I really like this, I don't have much else to say but I feel like you could see something like this in a children's book.
For this design I started with the base, drew the outline and filled in, simple as that really. But lots of colours were involved and a light touch for the little details.
Base: Ciate - Cookies & Cream and Nails Inc - Porchester Square when I needed an opaque polish to cover a mistake (it's slightly darker).
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
Pink: Essie - Your Hut Or Mine? (the perfect pink to match the video)
Light Purple: Barry M - Prickly Pear
Dark Purple: Illamasqua - Jo'Mina
Light Blue: Revlon - Blue Lagoon
Dark Blue: Kiko - 265 (which smudged which I was not impressed with)
Other colours for the sea: Revlon - Dreamer and Models Own - Indian Ocean
Boat: w7 - Brownie, Paris Collection - Mauve Melody and The Face Shop - GL112
Thanks so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed the song and have a great day!!!! :)
