MAKING A COMEBACK WITH AUTUMN NAIL ART?

Hello peeps! So I came on here to type up my final blog post but I couldn't, I logged on and got excited to type up a blog post, I still have lots of pictures in my folder which need to be published so this is what I'm going to do. Whether I will continue painting my nails remains to be seen but for now I will be posting! 

I will be holding a blog sale here if you guys are interested so look out for that. 

Ok, so I am aware it is summer, the weather here in England is just beautiful but today I'm bringing you some nails I did for fall! I recently got ILNP Abundance and it just seems like the perfect autumn leaf colour. I then got some leafy nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells which paired up perfectly with this polish.

LACE NAILS!

Hi everyone, I hope you're all enjoying the holidays, it's nearly the end though isn't it! 

So today I have some stamping nails to share with you, I am obsessed with lace nails and they are tricky to do freehand, well for me anyway. So I am very excited about this lace stamping plate* from Born Pretty Store and this stamper*. 

For these nails I just wanted classic lace nails so I used Barry M Gelly in Coconut for the base colour and then w7 Black for the stamping. This plate is awesome, the designs are pretty, well engraved and just easy to use. This was also my first time using a 'squishy' stamper and it's amazing, honestly this just makes stamping so easy I want to crack out all my plates and stamp over everything!  I highly recommend it.

VAMPIRE LIPS NAIL VINYL HALLOWEEN NAILS

Hey guys, how was your Monday? Mine was long but I have a late start tomorrow, yaay! 

Tonight I have another Halloween nail design to share with you using the vampire lips nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells. I painted all my nails with w7 Black and then applied the vinyls on the tips of the nails and used red acrylic paint to paint on the 'blood drips' on the accent nail before applying topcoat.

SPOOKY BARRY M GRAVEYARD HALLOWEEN NAILS USING SHE SELLS SEASHELLS NAIL VINYLS

Hey everyone, how has your weekend been? Unfortunately my weekend has been pretty rubbish but tonight I have some spooky graveyard nails. 

These look a lot more challenging to do than they really are which is what I love most about nail vinyls. I have a tutorial at the bottom of this post so click read more to see how to do these, they're so easy thanks to the nail vinyls so anyone can do them :)

I used 2 Barry M Gelly polishes for the night sky gradient, the lighter shade is Blue Grape and the darker one is Blackberry. The black base colour I used was w7 Black. 

I hope you like it! Don't forget to see the whole post for the tutorial, enjoy! :)

BEE NAILS

Hey guys, I am glad we have finally reached the end of the week! I have a huge amount of work to get through this weekend so I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to blog again. 

Today I have some bee inspired nails. I used Butter London Pimms for my base colour, once it was dry I applied Illamasqua Swarm on my pointy and pinky and then I used the straight nail vinyls from She Sells Seashells and w7 black to paint on the stripes.

W7 PISTACHIO LACE NAILS

Happy Sunday! Well, here in England we've had a bit of a storm so it's been a gloomy day but we had a lovely dinner again today and I'm happy to be ending the day with a cup of tea, Only Fools and Horses and blogging :) 

So today I have a very pretty nail polish to share with you and some very pretty nail art too. I 've been obsessed with lace nails but always have to freehand them because I don't any stamping plates with a lace design. For these nails I started with 2 coats of W7 Pistachio* which is part of the Summer Sorbet collection from W7. I'm a big fan of W7, their black and white is a staple in my collection and I love their Galaxy collection but I haven't tried out any of their cremes in a while. This is a lovely minty colour which isn't very unique but still gorgeous and I expected the formula to be nice but the formula was just a bit off with this, it's nothing major though. I did get some bubbling though which was probably my fault because it was super hot in my room when I swatched this. 

I then did a glitter gradient with Dance Legend Argus and drew on this lacey design which I copied from Creatinails on instagram.

W7 METALLIC NEPTUNE

Hi all my friends, today I have a nice nail polish which turned out to be a big disappointment. I saw this in the poundshop and it had a gorgeous duochrome to it and it looked so awesome in the bottle and it was only £1 so I bought it but when I tried it it fell flat like I couldn't see any duochrome at all and it was just a nice black nail polish with green flecks in it! 

So that's all for this post, hopefully I'll see you tomorrow :)
