Whoops

I forgot two valentines themed nail art photos. I've decided to post again to show them because otherwise it would've been a waste of energy finding them and they're quite good designs so I don't want you all to miss out :).

I like these ones because of the 3d hearts and the use of the newspaper method as well to give some variety.

I think the idea of using cupid for the theme rather than love hearts was also clever and unique.

ps. I don't take any credit for the nail art or designs in this post and the previous post. I'd post the source of the designs but I can find the links anymore, but I found most of them on tumblr :) xx

Lazy weekend

The title of the post isn't entirely accurate but its the closest I could get to describing why I haven't blogged this weekend. I started a post on friday but got delayed (I decided to go into town and get the ingredients to do some baking) which was lovely and relaxing and was a good start to the weekend until later on when I started to feel a bit ill and my head was all fuzzy (boohoo) and when I went to uni to pick my stuff up for the weekend and I was a bit of a party pooper because someone had cling filmed the girl nextdoors door knob to the stair case which completely blocked off the path to my door. I just wasn't in the mood so I ripped it, was I just being a cow or were my actions sort of acceptable? I do feel a but guilty.

Anyway, because I'm still having issues on the camera cable front I decided to take get a collection of photos of nail art that I like for you to keep you entertained

So, the first lot I found were some valentines themed nail (considering last week was valentine's day). My personal favourites are the two on the right (the two sets of tips) and the middle ones (the poor quality photo) are my attempts at some valentines themed nails. What do you think?

These are just some nails that I generally like, I've done the ones on the top right before - it's really easy (as long as you've got some caviar beads). I really like the top left ones which help to promote the british heart foundation - I think everyone would like to do their bit to help promote charity and this is a really easy way to do it.

This last set are my favorite animal themed nails. My favourite are most definitely the fox ones (they're soo cute :')) but I like the simplicity of the bird ones too.

Which are you favourite?

hard as nails.

This week I decided to relive childhood when I painted my nails and paint them multicoloured!

The blue is a bit chipped but not much considering I've taken this photo after work :). 

I didn't feel daring enough to go for bright in-your-face colours so I went for pastels and shades that I associated with sweets :).

So, my thumb and middle finger is done with some miniture bottles of nail varnish by Hoof Hands which I got in a set of 12 from TK Maxx for £7.99, the whole set are different colours and they're all quite bright. 

My first finger, ring finger and little finger are all done using nails inc. nail varnishes which again I got from TK Maxx but this time the set of 3 were £12.99 (all of these nail varnishes are still available online like on ebay :)). 

The nails inc. shades are: purple - lowndes square, blue - albert place and orange - wellington square. 

 I quite like them but I still feel a bit conscious that people are going to see them and think I'm stuck in the 90's or something and it's difficult to put together outfits that aren't going to completely clash. 

But painting my nails in these colours has definitely lifted my mood after I was a bit miserable about this cold weather! 

Why don't you try it? :)
