Pastel Jelly Checkered Nails

Hey there guise, I have some nail art today, unfortunately while I have done Christmas nail art it might take a while before it gets here as I'm behind. This is an expected thing now. I'm happy with the Christmas nail art I've currently done so I'm excited to show you. But today's nail art is still fun, I got 2 jelly polishes and made me want to do a checkered design as jellies show through really well.

Pink and green are really cute together, and I like it all together. Checkered patterns are so easy and they look so cute, it's after I did my Kanga and Roo design I want to do more checked designs, they're a great base.

So after the base you try your best to space the lines evenly and in a straight line. I'm pleased with my attempt, sure there are some lines that aren't perfectly straight or equal, but that's the charm of it. Otherwise I think it's pretty good, this is freehand remember with the nail polish brushes so I don't think it's half bad.

Pastel Galaxy Nail Art

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Oh hey there you can follow my blog on bloglovin' again!! I had an issue but my blog is followable again on that platform!! Anyway the moment I saw this look on The Nailasaurus I knew I needed this on my nails. The idea is simply genius!! I used her tutorial for the pastel galaxies. I've always liked galaxy nails ever since I tried them, they're easy to do and look awesome. Ok on this blog my galaxies don't look overly awesome, I liked my first attempt (but standards were lower then) and my second attempt was a mess haha. These pastel galaxy nails are definitely my favourite galaxy nails I've done.

Cute and simple!! I love the colours and galaxies just look great. It was really very easy, I was trying to follow some sort of pattern but then in just ended with random sponging everywhere. My nails look a bit chunky due to glitter, topcoat (without this coat of topcoat it would've smudged) then matte topcoat, I love it matte though. Before topcoat the stars didn't look very nice but topcoat (the Color Club one) is a magic thing. In reality the manicure is not that thick.

In Sammy's tutorial she wrote "add a touch of shimmer here and there", for me it might as well be add a touch of shimmer everywhere, and then some. And then some more. Then you might as well pile it on. I abuse glitter. What's new?

Mint (base): China Glaze - Re-Fresh Mint
Yellow: Barry M - Lemon Ice Cream
Light Blue: Revlon - Blue Lagoon (can't really see it)
Light Beige: Ciate - Cookies and Cream (also can't really see it)
Purple: Essie - Lilacism
Dark Blue: OPI - Sea You In Hollywood
At first Sea You In Hollywood looked really stark compared to the other pastel colour, but after sponging over it with the pastel colours the dark blue toned down and gave depth.
White: Lovely Me:Ex - White
Ok now to a lot of glitter, I'm bad at eliminating when it comes to glitter. I dabbed a little of Nails Inc - Sweets Way, Barry M - Pink Iridescent, Nails Inc - Glamour Glitter, OPI - Teenage Dream and a bit more Nails Inc - Abbey Road. For the "stars" it was OPI - Pirouette My Whistle (they had the sheer white hexes), Lovely Me:Ex - White and the perfect star polish for galaxies Barry M - Hologram Hexograms. I really like glitter. I only used 7.

Pastel galaxies are beyond cute (and out of this world but that's been done before), clearly neon galaxies need to happen. I'll try to be the pioneer of that :D Thanks for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day!! :)

Pastel Gradient Leopard Print

Hi there guys, and happy new year!! Here's to a good one!! I haven't really thought about a new year's resolution (I pretty much never do them) but I think this year I want to be more productive. If I set myself a monster challenge it's never going to happen so I just want to waste less time and do something that's going to benefit something. Anyway, first mani of this year is leopard print. I honestly can't see a better way to start the year. I love leopard print, I've been totally abusing it but I can't help it :)

This might sound bad, but I absolutely love it. It's just the colours and the leopard and the gradient. It's perfect. The purple didn't show up very well in pictures but it's much more prominent in real life. For once I did a nice gradient, I find every time I do a nice gradient I'm inclined to take pictures then not do the nail art. It's just because I'm so happy that the gradient worked, as opposed to the normal failure. It's like the other one I did I loved that one too (not meaning to sound narcissistic :/), it's so simple but it looks so nice. I hate all this narcissism :/ I just really like the design.
Blue: Essie - Bikini So Teeny
Green: Illamasqua - Nomad
Purple: Barry M - Berry Ice Cream
Pink: Orly - Basket Case
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
I tell you I really really love the colours, the Barry M purple is growing on me, it's pink-toned and I really like that. But these are all polishes I absolutely adore. I cut my nails and I have to say they are feeling very short (well no), but they'll grow back.

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

Pastel Polka Dots And Roses

Hello there. I am disappointed in myself :( In a moment of insanity I told myself I was in a pastel mood. I was not in a pastel mood, I was in a Christmas mood. Therefore I regret these nails, somewhat as I really like them but I would like them more if it wasn't December. I've learnt my lesson, no non-Christmas related nails in December. Seriously, the moment I finished I was unhappy because they weren't Christmasy.

I liked them better on my right hand, which I found surprising as I thought the flowers weren't too good. But once I'd finished I thought it was better than expected. I really wanted to use Nomad so I guess I fulfilled that. Cause Nomad is amazing.
Purple: Essie - Lilacism and OPI - Last Friday Night
Pale Green: Illasmasqua - Nomad
Dark Pink: Per Una - Fuchsia (no name)
Light Pink: Orly - Basket Case
White: Models Own - Snow White
Dark Green: OPI - Jade Is The New Black

I guess it's quite pretty, but no more non-Christmas related manicures for me!!

Have a great Saturday!!! :)
