Sushi Print Nails

Hey there guys, I hope you've made it through September pretty well. I don't think I've ever had a better September which is so weird cause normally September sucks. I guess I'm going back to school and everyone is just getting along with everyone and having one less subject is SO NICE. It's one less thing to worry about. I have some pretty fly nails that went down a storm at school, everyone loves sushi right?

I just did a little sushi print of all kinds of sushi, it was very much a random thing. I don't know about you but I LOVE sushi. I don't know the names of all the sushi but yeah I think this design is really cute!! I love anything in a print form basically. All the colours are too fun too.

This design took a while cause I didn't have a game plan. I just did one sushi bit at a time but it was worth it. I just tried to do a different sushi beside each other. Used my toothpicks and sometimes the brushes of the polishes to do the little details. A standard design by me.

The totally doable I have a life challenge! - Striped Mostachioed Macaroons

Hey there guys!! Man it feels a while since I've written one of these. Been busy ya'know, having a life ;) I know this challenge is well and truly over but to be real I actually finished the challenge before August was over but it takes me a while to get things up :/ Anyway today was stripes and um yeah here's more food. Side note: I was watching Modern Family as I was painting these and oh my gosh Haley and Andy are my new OTP, I was crying from cuteness and new season is coming out this month!! But not like I can watch it cause I don't have cable.

Originally I was going to do a fruit basket but then I realised a previous prompt was pineapples so it'd be a bit fruit overload. Also cute food never gets old with me. I actually really liked the stripes by themselves, they were very Battenberg-esque. The filling is intended to be the moustaches, well I didn't plan it that way but it came out that way. It's more charming in my opinion anyway. I added extra glitter pieces cause I need extra stuff to fill space. Also glitter.
By the way I LOVE macaroons, I think they taste so good and that's not just the colour of them being a placebo, they are yummy ^_^

The stripes were freehanded and kind of straight. I did have to go back and touch up with the brush and toothpick. Otherwise the macaroons were painted with a toothpick and I placed glitter after fishing. The glitter was very prickly and some fell off (ring finger). But moons and stars though.

My 2nd Blogaversary: Top 10 Favourite Nail Art!

Hey there guys, it's my 2nd blogaversary, what??! Yep 2 years ago out of a completely random idea I decided to start this blog. I feel like the stars aligned and my exams finished and my blogaversary is the day after it's pretty brill. Of course I just chilled and relaxed the whole day. And of course was pumped about my blogaversary!!
I really enjoyed this year, I like doing and improving nail art at my own speed. I have to say I have been very busy the whole year, as I had a lot of controlled assessments and the school play and music commitments really took up a lot of my time so I didn't have as much time to do nail art and nail art that was insane but I very much liked what I got to do. I am happy that the general quality has improved since last year, like pictures, cuticles and I guess painting too. I had an adventure of a year in nail art!!
I am hoping to develop and I can't see myself getting less busy during the school year but I'll do my best and I have the summer!! On another note, reading your comments was something I always really really looked forward to and loved, so thank you!!

I feel every year for my blogaversary a collage has to be made and I picked my favourite nail art, nothing I felt was worthy of writing home about but I really really LOVED these looks. You know cute is my favourite thing and I did try out some new things this year and generally I do think I've got better (practice makes perfect right?).
An aim I have for my next blogging is doing more nail art that's unique to me, I like painting some crazy things and I really want to emphasise that and have my nail art more personal to me and something to be MAD proud of. Perhaps I'll push my boundaries and go more artsy, but one step at a time. But yes I have my favourite nail art, some might be surprising but I picked nail art that's not necessarily the most detailed but the most joy inducing for me.

10. Poinsettia Nail Art. Kicking things off at 10 we have some Christmas poinsettia, I don't know why but I just really liked this design, the coloured outlines were different for me and I loved them. I love flowers like that and the extra sparkle from Jinx made this boss.

9. Rainbow Stars. Ok I love that base, rainbow glitter guise. Add the stars and it's cuteness at it's finest. Perhaps it was the combo of rainbow + stars that made this work for me. Simple designs can definitely have the cute factor.

8. Eggs and Bacon. Food. You can't escape it. Or I can't escape it at least, there's more food to come don't worry. I loved the distressed background too. Do I really need to explain much more, it's cute food and this is PlumeriaPainted.

7. Realistic Tiger. Realism is a rare thing on PlumeriaPainted (what can I say, I love cartoons), but I branched to it for the 31 Day Challenge and I'm very proud of that tiger. It's totes fierce. Also I really liked those red sparkly tiger stripes.

6. The Blue Umbrella. I was so enamoured with that short and I was happy to try and translate the adorable story onto my nails, and I was pleased with the outcome. Those umbrellas are just too cute!!!

5. Lily Pulitzer Butterflies. I'd never done a butterfly mani like this before and I loved the printed look. The wings were my favourite, the colour scheme and how all the colours blended. Add the beautiful shimmery blue base and I think we have a winner.

4. Primary Colour Galaxy. Hands down the best galaxy I've ever painted, I <3 that colour scheme and I've always loved galaxy manicures a lot and when I finally do one right it comes near the top of my list. The black and white glitter is edgy too, an edgy galaxy sounds pretty sweet.

3. Rainbow Fish. Those fins were big and bombastic, seriously they were so sparkly. I had these one for New Year's and they were so fun. I'm really pleased with how the fish came out too, the crazy combo of the blue, purple and pink was nice too. I really liked the base, the base can really add or take away a lot.

2. Sweet Food. Hello cute food, you're my favourite forever. They're also yummy (except the banana, sorry I really don't like bananas but I forgive this one :P) and it was the perfect excuse for glitter!! Yeah cuteness and glitter, it's gonna be a PlumeriaPainted favourite. But the combination of all the desserts was a knockout for me, it's a cute food explosion!!

1. Intelligently Cute Owls in the Cherry Blossoms. Maybe this is a surprise but this manicure made me unbelievably happy. While I've done much more complex nail art, this is just pure cute nail art bliss. I think the base is perfectly edgy for the sweet scene, I like the crazy colours of the flowers and don't even get me started on the owls. Those glasses!! And I loved the placed glitter (I was on such a placing kick) and the colours of the owls who just perch all awwwww. Yeah I never make sense haha, you know that reading my blog ;)

Well I hope you liked my picks, to another year of sweet nail art and polish. Fun fact I had 8 right hand and 2 left hand designs, I got some non-dominant hand favourites (which is pretty cool I guess). Thank you so much reading, I mean it every time I write it. Thanks for taking some of your time out to look at my nail art or swatches and reading ma bordering on insane thoughts haha. I really hope to bring you even better nail art (and swatches) over the next year (not in a narcissistic way), it's really exciting thinking that way!! I hope you have a brilliant day!! :)

Eggs + Bacon Nail Art

Hello there my favourite folks, you get some nail art from me today. I had this on my to do list for so long and in general I should be doing more food nail art. After all it is my favourite. Regular food nail art should come back, it's the bayest. And this egg and bacon design is pretty funky, me gusta mucho. My spanish is bad, putting it out there. I try.

We got some eggs and we got some bacon. Eggs are some of my favourite food, I've loved them since I was young. And I think ma food here is pretty cute. Bacon is always great too, who doesn't like bacon (not counting vegetarians)? I didn't know what my base should be but the distressed background was nice. You know even know how the glitter tied the whole look together, it just tidied everything up. This is why I love glitter (well one reason). I just like how generally fun this look is.

After the fun little colourful distressed background I got my white pen and drew the outlines to the food. I filled the colours in with toothpicks and brushes and that. I dabbed the glitter on at the end, like I'm not kidding the glitter really made this design like you wouldn't even know. The matteness was also really good for this design.

Base: Ciate - Loop The Loop
Colourful distressed colours: Essie - Fear Or Desire, Chilli Pepper - Orange (no name), The Face Shop - PK105, Body Collection - Pink Orange (no name) and OPI - Charged Up Cherry
Glitter: OPI - Minnie Style

Ultimate Cute Food Nail Art

Hi there guys!! New month, more hecticness for me. There'll be less posts probably but we'll see what happens. I'm still mad behind and I haven't been up to date since December, but at least I've got things to post. Like this here design I LOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEE it. Finally I've made my way back to the cute food (i.e. my favourite kind of nail art ever) and this might be my favourite. Ever. Like seriously cute food will never get old for me.

I saw this picture in Google images and I did my version and thought I'd go all crazy with the shiny parts. But I didn't but complexity is not for me. Goodness I just love this, it's so freakin' cute!! And the foods are so sweet and yeah I just love it. I feel like it's also quirky which is v me. I used glitter as the sprinkles and I can always handle that.
I have a star biscuit (the rainbow frosting anyone? ;)), a caramel covered banana, a chocolate and strawberry covered ice cream, a cupcake and an iced strawberry. I can't deal with all the food. Just putting it out there that I LOVE food. A LOT. No jokes.

I laid down a white base, and filled in the colour accordingly with ma toothpicks. Black outlining last as well as the faces. Took a while but wasn't too hard and I loved it, so time was worth it. I dabbed on glitter too, that was fun I love glitter. I love a lot of things.

31DC2013: Day 21 - Inspired by a colour

Hey there guys!! Hope your start of the week has been ok. This has always been a weird prompt but I knew I was going to do a design based on a nail polish colour.
My original idea went down the drain as it was far too difficult (maybe one day though), also it was totally inspired by a song (which is tomorrow and I've picked a different song anyway). I was stuck, so I looked down on my stash and saw Plum & Get It, and I thought I'd paint a plum, then I looked over and saw Charged Up Cherry, and was like "Fruit!!". Add in Prickly Pear and we have a basket.

It's been very food based for the last couple of days but food is my favourite nail art to do so no complaints whatsoever. I tried to reflect the name of the polish onto the fruit, so prickly pear is prickly in personality not appearance.
My favourite is the cherry, I think it's the cutest. Something subtle I like about the cherry is the stem, I didn't intend for it to look "shaded" but I like the effect. Of course I also had to slam on some holographic glitter.

The plum is basically a purple apple, but trust me plums look like that too. There were probably more fruit polishes I could've used, but I like the combination of these three.
I know it was meant to be inspired by one colour, but when you have a fruit salad you can't take away some of the essential fruits. What's a fruit salad with one fruit? Just a single fruit, that's why I needed three colours (most long-winded and confusing way of explaining that).

Pink: OPI - Charged Up Cherry
Dark Purple: OPI - Plum & Get It
Plum & Get It is a truly lovely polish, the shimmer and the gorgeous shade of purple makes it so, loved having it on for this design.
Purple: Barry M - Prickly Pear
Another beautiful polish here, such a great colour.
Holographic Glitter: Topshop - Razzmatazz
I shall never tire of holographic glitter, it's beautiful and I need more.
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
White: Barry M - Matt White
Red: OPI - Dutch Tulips
Green: OPI - Jade Is The New Black

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

Candy Pizza Nail Art

Oh hey there guys!! Hope you are all doing well. Sorry for the big gap from the previous post to the one before that, I'm not going to be able to edit posts/pictures for the next week so I've been trying to prepare some posts. Today I have some nail art today, food nail art at that. This is a weird one though, I've had this idea brewing for a while but decided against it, then decided for it. So today I present candy pizza...

I have never had candy pizza before and I don't know if it's a thing. On another note if I saw candy pizza on the dessert menu I would order it up without a second thought. It's an interesting concept.
The only candy pizza I know of, is the mode in Club Penguin when I used to play. My cousin told me about the switch under the pizza machine that changed the pizza from regular to candy. I was a beast at that game, in regular mode I could complete it with the highest combo therefore getting the most money from it haha. The candy mode was much harder though, it was faster.
I like the little faces on the crust (i.e. my favourite part of a pizza, Pizza Hut crust is the best) and the piece of pizza on my thumb is my favourite (the neon glitter, nuff said). The design didn't really pan out (ah unintentional pun!!) the way I wanted it to, I don't know what it is. Design looks better in photos though and I'll take it.

Dark Pink: Color Club - Wing Fling
Blue/Green: Barry M - Greenberry
White: Barry M - Matt White and Lovely Me:Ex - White (for details)
Neon glitter: Lush Lacquer - Clowning Around
Still can't even (sorry for the abuse of this phrase), I love the mix of glitter on my nails. I fished for the big pink hex on my ring finger cause nothing is complete with a big pink hex. Does require a couple of coats of topcoat but I can deal with that as it is very much worth it.
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
Even though it doesn't look like it, the black hearts did help a lot. Gave a bit more togetherness.
Pink: Orly - Basket Case
Brown: Ciate - Cookies And Cream
I got this free in a magazine with some caviar beads (clearly the only reason why I bought the magazine). I'll have to try this out on it's own but currently Nails Inc Porchester Square is far superior.
Orange: Essie - Fear Or Desire
Blue: Barry M - Blueberry Ice Cream
Mint Green: Max Factor - Cool Jade
Purple: Illamasqua - Jo'Mina (over Essie - Lilacism, I changed my mind)
Sealed with the Color Club topcoat. With no smudging (and Lovely Me:Ex - White is a smudging beast), this is a miracle topcoat.

Is candy pizza a thing? If you know please tell me as it does sound really good. I might do another look with normal pizza cause I love pizza (tell me which sane person doesn't like pizza). Thank you for reading and I hope you have a fantastic day! :)

Geometric Rainbow Cupcakes

Oh hey there guys!!! Hope you're having a great start to your week. I have been revising (whoop whoop), I have properly started after who knows how long of procrastination. On that note my posts will be reducing significantly for the next while. I have to spend less time blogging, which bums me out, cause I love it!! But hopefully late June I will be back with "regular" posting, but I won't be disappearing completely (hopefully anyway). I'll also be back with a snazzier blog (I'm hoping if I write it I'll actually do it, computer stuff scares me)!! :)
Since I'm painting less I wanted a nail design that I'd want to keep on for a long time, so of course I go back to geometric patterns and FOOD (I love food ^_^)!!

This might look a tash familiar, as quite recently I did similar design. But I loved that one, so another one can't hurt. Also I think it's rather different.
The geometric design is inspired by the inside cover of Esc (might do a full design inspired by it as it's awesome) by Clara C. I adore her music, I don't know why it took me so freaking long to get her new album. And it's amazing; I have to say the second half of the album is better than the first. My picks from the album are "You've Got It All", "Eventually", "By The Blue" and "Fish", but they are all great.
So I went with that colour scheme, and I wanted to paint another kind of dessert, but I really couldn't think of one, so cupcake had to do (good thing cupcakes are SO cute :3).
I especially like my index finger, to me it kind of looks like a robot. Which I think is funky.
Purple: Barry M - Prickly Pear
Red-y Pink: OPI - Charged Up Cherry
Orange: Essie - Tart Deco
Blue: Barry M - Blueberry Ice Cream
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
White: Lovely Me:Ex - White
Pink: Orly - Basket Case
I have been adoring Prickly Pear, it's gorgeous man. I used 3 coats, but you could probably do with 2. I wanted to use opaque colours as that makes everything so much easier, Charged Up Cherry, Tart Deco, Blueberry Ice Cream and Basket Case all fit the bill.

I have to mention the Color Club topcoat. It came with the set I got from TK Maxx. For one I wasn't sure if it was topcoat or basecoat cause it didn't say!! But I reckoned it was topcoat (still not really sure, but pretty certain).
Topcoats are scary for me as all they do is smudge for me, but the smudging was near non-existent this time (:O). I applied at snail's pace, I'm being serious, I applied it SOOOOO slowly, which probably helped. The topcoat is also really shiny, it has an almost gel-like consistency. Don't accidentally get some in your cuticles as it comes off weirdly and makes your fingers look dry. It's very thick as well, I couldn't get a thin coat.
But the thing that really surprised me was that my manicure was super smooth after. I know that's what topcoat is meant to do, but I find a lot of the time it's still lumpy after, less lumpy than before but lumpy nonetheless. So smooth this was, could've been due to the thick coats but it didn't dry thick. I was just surprised at the shininess and smoothness, topcoats aren't normally that nice to me.

Thank you very much for reading and I hope you have a lovely week!! :)

Smart cookies at a party

Hi there guys. I hope you're feeling ok and good, sometimes ok is ok for me. I wanted to do some food nail art (my favourite) and I decided on some cookies. The outcome was different than expected, in good and bad ways. Smart cookies remind me of last year when my friend drew a dinosaur in my homework diary, which led me to draw a dinosaur in my other friend's homework diary. Our dinosaurs were bezzies and my dinosaur was a dumb apple and her dinosaur was a smart cookie :') I don't know if this makes me cool or not (we'll pretend I'm cool).

I used Algae Veronica's "graffiti" design as part of my design, I personally don't think it looks like graffiti but I think it looks awesome. I really like her style, it's so bright and bold!! Anyway this is the "at the party" element, I added some glitter BOOM those smart cookies are at a party! I originally thought it was like explosions in the background but my friend said it looked like they were at a party and I was like "Oh yeah...".
My cookies aren't as cute as I wanted them, it's actually just the middle finger cookie I don't like. Otherwise they're quite cute. You don't tend to find smart cookies at parties :P

Silver Glitter: Barry M - Silver Glitter and Revlon - Belle
Holographic Glitter: Barry M - Hologram Hexograms
White: Lovely Me:Ex - White
I didn't want to risk smudging the design with topcoat but I felt the design needed smoothing out. I now realise my issues with topcoat. Everyone said "Take your time with applying topcoat" and I was like "Haha lol let's just not listen and go lighting fast with topcoat and smudge everything". Ok it wasn't all me but it was mostly me, I do blame topcoat too though. I always thought "Get topcoat over with quickly and it has less opportunity to mess up". Wrong. But I took my time and smudging is significantly better, ok there's still a bit but not bad at all. Lesson for today: Apply topcoat slowly, it's worth it.

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

Magical Fast Food

Hi there lovely people!! I'm back, I feel like I've been gone for a long time though I know I haven't. I was away on a trip with my family, mostly to go to a charity event. And these are the nails I had for the event, thinking about it now I should've matched my nails to my dress (I will do that though), but I've never been one to match (as you could probably tell :P).

How is fast food magical? It's not really (well it should be as it tastes so damn good ;)), but I'm referring to the holographic glitter, aka my love. I clearly am obsessed with these food designs (once again you can probably tell) and I won't be stopping anytime soon. I love burgers and I especially love fries (don't even get me started), this design is me. Unfortunately the pictures aren't too colour accurate, I took pictures in a restaurant and yes, I was that weird kid who takes pictures of their nails in a restaurant. 
Purple: Essie - Lilacism
Blue: Essie - Bikini So Teeny
Light Brown: Nails Inc - Porchester Square
Green: Illamasqua - Nomad
Brown: w7 - Brownie
Yellow: Rimmel - Sunshine
Pink: Orly - Basket Case
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
White: Lovely Me:Ex - White and Models Own - Snow White
As always I freehanded this, for future reference I freehand everything I do, when I don't freehand it's pretty clear otherwise. I also sewed an iPod case with the burger and fries (maybe I'll show a picture one day), I sewed for 7 hours, dedicated to the cause. I have properly betrayed Dreamer by using Bikini So Teeny under Razzmatazz but Dreamer had it's time (:P), but it's not forgotten!!

As hopefully we all know Google Reader is going down (kind of a bummer), I didn't realise what this meant for me til recently, I will be finding some other means of following me (for people in the future :P). Unfortunately that requires being good with the internet, for some this is easy business, haha not me I swear I am illiterate with the internet. But I will be sorting that out soon, I probably won't be posting so much over the next couple of days as work is piling up and bringing me down. But once it's sorted I'll be back to painting and my blog :D

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

Jellybeans!

Hello there everyone!!! The long week is over and hopefully it will lead to a better next week :P I remember I was in a purple mood, so therefore I painted my nails blue and silver (I am full of sense). I'm back to not knowing what to do with my nails, I wanted some cute faces (as I always do) so blobs happened, and I now I pretend they're jellybeans :P

They're not jellybeans but I kept referring to them as jellybeans so that's what I'm going with. Ok it didn't turn out the way I wanted (-_-) but they are still pretty cute. I love the colour combination of red, yellow, green and blue and this is a more toned down version of the scheme. The beans are something you would see on pyjama bottoms, and it looks pretty funky. I kind of wished I had done a full manicure, but I'm thinking of experimenting with this design with different colours (and as a full manicure).
Blue: Essie - Bikini So Teeny
Silver: w7 - Silver Mirror (borrowed from my sister) and Nails Inc - Abbey Road

Pink: No7 - Me! Me! Me!
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black

The holographic sparkle is not showing up at all in the pictures but it's pretty and subtle in real life. Lemon Ice Cream looked extremely dull and I put it over white, I'm not annoyed just confused.

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

Give Peas A Chance!

Hey there, I had a lovely day today and I hope you did too :) I love been loving food designs (clearly, just take a look through last month's posts) and once again mildy stuck with what to do. But I saw my top lying around and I thought "I'm going to base my nail art on that" which I did.

This is a phrase that goes back with me. 4 years ago I drew a bookmark with this phrase (I saw a picture somewhere) and my friends saw this bookmark and thought it was cute. I have since made more of that kind of bookmark, but during the summer I lost my favourite one and that was quite annoying. Well flash forward to around Christmas time last year. I was shopping with 2 of my best friends and we were in TK Maxx (where it's at) looking around the pyjama section and found a "Give peas a chance" top, my best friend told me I had to get it, and the deal was done. I'm not the proudest of my design, it's just not as cute as well thought out as I would've liked it to be. But I like all of colours, the writing and the crazy dots.

The top in question

I have a couple of bookmarks like this, I like sewing around the edges

Have a wonderful day and thank you for reading!!! :)

Doughnuts... NOMNOMNOM

Hey there, I think this might be the first time I have spelt doughnut right, it's a strange feeling :P I've been in a foodie mood (I LOVE FOOD), food nail art makes me happy. So it was only logical to do some.

Food with faces make me happy, maybe to some it's creepy, maybe this makes me creepy. But I don't care cause I think it's cute :P I really wanted to try drippy nails, and I really like it, I will be trying to do more. All the bright colours make me happy too, and holographic glitter is always a good thing.

The green is China Glaze - I'm With The Lifeguard, I normally use this polish without anything underneath. But when drying I whacked my nail against a cardboard box (standard me) and I decided to put it over white. It's SOOOOOO much brighter and requires much less coats (such bad grammer :/). For the other nails I used Nails Inc - Abbey Road, it's definitely a full coverage holographic glitter, 3 coats did the trick.

For the actual doughnut dough I used Nails Inc - Porchester Square, and the doughnut icing was:
Pink: Nails Inc - Notting Hill Gate
Purple: Barry M - Berry Ice Cream
Yellow: Barry M - Lemon Ice Cream
The sprinkles were Essie - Tart Deco, Barry M - Blueberry Ice Cream, OPI - Charged Up Cherry, Barry M - Indigo and The Face Shop - BL601.
Orange drip: Essie - Tart Deco and OPI - Rainbow Connection
Bluey drip: Essie - Bikini So Teeny and Nails Inc - Sweets Way
That was a polish naming explosion.

I'm tired, I hope I was coherent during the post and you're not feeling too hungry for doughnuts (but when aren't you hungry for doughnuts :P). Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day. :)
