Rabbit (from Winnie the Pooh) Nails

Hello there fine folks on this lovely day (hopefully). This is my 5th Winnie the Pooh nail art design and I'm really liking them, here's my Eeyore one which links to the Tigger, Piglet and Winnie designs. This was my Easter manicure (now you have an idea of how behind I am) cause of Rabbit, and that's Easter appropriate. I got no chocolate eggs but I'm really ok with that, I get more than enough chocolate anyway. My Rabbit design is different from my other ones cause this one follows more closely with how Rabbit actually looks, oo being more artsy!! But not really.

So here I have Rabbit amongst a bunch of carrots and polka dots, I am really proud of how Rabbit turned out, it's nice when things work out right and I think it looks nice. The carrots were dodgier but I don't think they detract at all, and of course polka dots are always cute. I'm onboard with all cute things so I like this a lot.

I started with the polka dots with a bobby pin and I began to tackle Rabbit. I started with a general white base and added the black outline first(!), and then kind of coloured it in. Man proportioning will always be an issue for me but I got there eventually. I finally used my toothpicks for the carrots, I tried making them artsy but in the end I always fall back on cartoony.

Base: w7 - Sheer Lemon and Essie - Shine of the Times
Red: Essie - E-Nuff Is E-Nuff
Yellow: Barry M - Lemon Ice Cream
Pink: Per Una - Pink (no name)
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
White: Lovely Me:Ex - White and Barry M - Matt White
Orange: Essie - Fear or Desire
Light Orange (that you can't see at all :/): Rimmel - It's a Scorcher!
Green: OPI - Jade Is The New Black


Thank you very much for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day!!! :)

Chubby Bunnies

Oh hey there guys!! How are you this fine Sunday evening? I don't actually know, I'm not dreading school (though I should be) but it's not like I'm aching to get there (but what child ever is??). Since I'm liking the animal nail art right now, I chose to paint some bunnies. They ended up chubby through no fault of their own.

At first I was disappointed with my bunnies, but I grew to think they're cute (and that is the most important thing). A question you may be asking is "Why are those carrots white and black?", no crazy answer just because I wanted them to work with the colour scheme.
If I ever got a bunny (which I won't because my mother despises animals) I would name it "Milk" (because I can) or "Fluffernutter" (HIMYM reference), aw man I'd have to buy 2 cause I wouldn't be able to pick. My friend named her fish "Lorenzo Vonmatterhorn" (the other one "Fish" because she had used all her naming powers), how legendary right? ;)
Purple: Barry M - Prickly Pear (What a cute name :3)
Pink: Color Club - Wing Fling
White: Lovely Me:Ex - White
Light Pink: Professional Nail Care French Manicure - French Pink
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
I got new polishes, the Barry M was on my wishlist but I took it off cause I told myself I didn't "need" it (then I decided I did "need" it). OH MY GOODNESS IT'S GORGEOUS, purple is not my colour. BUT THIS CHANGES MY MIND IT'S SO PRETTY. It's a perfect lavender and I just love the colour, it's amazing.
The pink is one of my first Color Clubs, TK Maxx (love) are selling them in sets and I picked up the "Take Wing" collection. Not all for me (but some for me, oh man I am loving brackets today), and it's so pretty, but I will writing about it more next post.

Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!! :)

Carrots and Cookies

Hello there, for me 'tis officially Christmas time (mistletoe and wine)!!!! School is over!!!! Yay beans!!! :D This is inspired by the tradition of leaving carrots and cookies for Santa. I can't say I've ever done that, but I think it's super cute idea.

I did more carrots than cookies to be healthy ;) I was doing secret Santa with my friends and my secret Santa gave me the most amazing present and she literally couldn't have given me anything better. A set from Nails Inc (my other friend told me I would like it), so I wanted to use some in this design. I was looking for a more suitable brown (kind of) for a cookie and it comes my way. Sometimes things just work in perfect symmetry ( I really hope that made sense).
Orange (and the stripes): Essie - Fear Or Desire and Paris Collection - Copper Topper
Dark Green: OPI - Jade Is The New Black
Light Brown: Nails Inc - Porchester Square
Dark Brown: w7 - Brownie
Pink: Nails Inc - Notting Hill Gate
Silver: w7 - Silver Mirror and Nails Inc - Abbey Road (I'm so excited about this polish and I can't even describe)
Green: Illamasqua - Nomad
Dark Blue: Kiko - 265
Cornflower: Essie - Bikini So Teeny
I personally think it looks better in real life, my camera just wasn't feeling like capturing it properly I guess. I am SO excited about the Nails Inc polishes and I really can't wait to use them more :)

Thank you for reading and have a lovely day :)
