Kiwi nail art

Hey there!! I hope you're doing well, I'M DONE WITH MY EXAMS WOO. But I'll go more into that when I actually have time to write up posts and paint my nails!! This is a fun, simple nail art look I did. Ok it looks pretty rubbish in pictures but then at a distance it looked so fresh.

The proportions are totally off and it's so messy but I still really like the look of this. I definitely want to do kiwi nails again to improve on this and they were so fun and easy. The white weirdly turned green over the green though, don't know why that happened.

I did a white blob shape in the middle of the nail with the brush of the polish then I did little white lines coming out of it then put the black seeds in between. Went a bit wild with the black seeds, I think I should've let more green show through cause it's very imbalanced haha.

The totally doable I have a life challenge! - Pineapple pattern

Hey there guys, I hope you're doing really well. So continuing with mentioning my results, I think I did quite good, ok I'm just gonna say it. I got all A*'s and A's. It's nice knowing all the work didn't go to waste :)
So the prompt for today's design was Pineapples which I realise I have never done before, how crazy!! But yeah I went from there and I really like today's manicure.

Are we surprised? I did another cute food manicure. Will I ever get tired of these? I think not. Honestly when I first saw the prompt I didn't know what to do but remember, this is me. Quickly I went straight to the cute food thing.
I wanted to do this like a pattern with some bright colours cause once again if you know me you know I like bright colours. I think the pineapples are pretty cute and I decided to add some rings (in ode to pineapple rings) for extra colour and fun factor(?) and I really like them!!

I started the pineapples with a toothpick then got lazy and switched to the polish brush. I did those quick artsy strokes for the pineapple tops and just toothpicked the rings. Then did some glitter placement with, guess what, a toothpick.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Ruffian

Hi there guys, I have late Valentine's day manicure, I started doing these too late cause everything on this blog is late right now, so this is mad late :/ I thought I'd came up with some genius Valentine's manicure idea. So I thought chocolate covered strawberries but the chocolate being a ruffian manicure. But then it's not genius and the execution is dodgy, but at least it looks cute in pictures.

My first ever ruffian manicure, it's not very good. I thought I'd use french manicure stickers, but I'm too lazy for that business so I freehanded it. It's not very good and same goes for the strawberries. Though not gonna lie I like the manicure in pictures even though it's very messy. I don't like strawberry nails very much and my red decided to make things thick, so my topcoat couldn't do much about that and that's why some parts are mad messed up.

I used toothpicks for the tops of the strawberries and the weird seeds. Otherwise I'd use the brushes of the nail polish and my white pen for the base of the seeds.

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

Green: OPI - Jade Is The New Black

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