Leopard/Bow nails inspired by Vivianne Westwood shoes

Hello there :) I've been wanting to do this mani ever since I realised I hadn't lost these shoes in the summer. They were a gift from my aunt when we went to Thailand. They are a collaboration between Vivianne Westwood and the brand Melissa. They are super pretty, unfortunately not shoes to walk in. They kill feet but otherwise they look really cute.

See they're pretty :) Now to the nails!!!

I also just wanted an excuse to use Baker Street, it is simply stunning. The bow didn't turn out how I wanted it to. Burnt Amber helped improve it but mimicking the bow on my shoes was hard. Also the leopard print (meant to be cheetah print) was difficult to scale down and it turned out really messy. Cause I overloaded the blue blobs :/ But that makes me love it, I love how that leopard print looks, and just the red and blue together. Yum :P I wish I'd slanted the blue part of my index finger the other direction, but you learn from these things :)

I prefer the bow on my left hand, overall still messy. My thumb is still recovering from the cut, but it was seriously bad. Now it's much better ^_^ And I slanted the blue on my index finger the right way. Woop.
Blue: Nails Inc. - Baker Street
Red: OPI - Dutch Tulips
White: Models Own - Snow White
Dark Blue: Barry M - Indigo
Dark Red: w7 - Burnt Amber
Baker Street was amazing as always. It was probably too light but I think it really works. I really like the design cause it's so fun and bright and definitely bears resemblance to my shoes. I love the colours.

1st Blog Post/Day 1 of the 31 Day Nail Challenge

Hello Internet! Gosh I'm no good at these :L What am I meant to say now...
Haha this is the beginning of my nail blog. I would consider myself a novice, only started this nail business in September last year. But I'm loving it and I'm having a lot of fun. So I decided to start this blog :P

So I want to start with a bang.

Like many others I’m trying the 31-day nail challenge. The main aim is for me is to have fun :D I’m excited to get started!!! :D

I’ve seen some people just paint their nails a solid red. But personally, I think that’s really boring! This is a nail art challenge, might as well do some nail art :P

So I did some standard red converse. I say standard, as you can see these all over the place. Nothing that exciting, but I liked it. It was far better than my last attempt (when I was starting nail art). It's slightly early but I’m so excited for my next design.

Colours used:

Red: OPI - Dutch Tulips

White: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails - French White Tip (I just use this as a white, as it’s the best one I have and it’s super good)

Silver (can barely be seen): Professional Nail Art – Silver (no name)

Black (Nail art pen I stole from my friend): Lovely Me:Ex – Black (no name)

Equipment used:

Toothpick

Thank you for reading my first post!!!! :D
