WATERCOLOUR BUBBLE NAILS

Hey guys, so it's Sunday night again :( but I have some watercolour nails to share with you today! 

I saw this design on instagram and fell in love with it but was a bit apprehensive about trying this technique out, but I'm really glad I did because it's super easy to do! I've also made a tutorial for you guys but I will post that in another post probably tomorrow.

I used the Deco Art acrylic paints again and Essence white stamping polish.

WATERCOLOUR FLOWER NAIL ART

Hey guys, so it's not often that I'm blown away by a nail design! the last time I was, however, was when I laid eyes on these nails by Lucy's Stash, it honestly took my break away and couldn't wait to try it for myself. So for these nails I did 2 coats of OPI My Vampire Is Buff and then used watered down purple acrylic paint. Go and check out her tutorial to see how to do these, obviously mine didn't turn out as well as Lucys! I did the same flower on my accent nail as well but the thumb turned out better so I thought I'd just show you the thumb instead! 

Ok, I have a splitting headache so I'm going to bed!

10 NAIL ART DESIGNS USING OPI SHEER TINTS

Hey  guys, sorry there's been no post for a few days, I have been working on this mammoth post !

When I first saw the Sheer Tints by OPI I was not excited, but then when I started seeing swatches etc. I thought they could be really good for nail art so I desperately waited for these and rung Sally's many times and dropped in (several times) after a long day of uni with the hope that they might have them in. They got them in about 2 weeks ago, I posted my haul on instagram so follow me on there to see more of my hauls etc.

I've created 10 different nail art designs using the I'm Never Embarrassed (yellow), Be Magentale With Me (pink), Don't Violet Me Down (purple) and I Can Teal You Like Me (blue).

All of the polishes have the same formula as a half used Seche Vite Top Coat, ie. thick and undesirable. They bubble like crazy though which you will see in all the pictures below, but they are so much fun to play with. 

 There's a lot to get through so I'll just talk over how I created each look. 

Sit down, grab a cuppa and click read more to see all of the designs below :)

BREAKING BAD NAILS

Hey peeps, how are you all today? Looking forward to the weekend? I am :)

Recently (about 4 months ago) started watching Breaking Bad and yes I love it, I still haven't finished it yet, I think I have 2 seasons left to go. Anyway I knew I had to do Breaking Bad nails and I actually did these back in February! I posted a picture on instagram so be sure to follow me on there. 

I started off with 2 coats of Illamasqua Kink and then I used China Glaze Def Defying and Color Club Almost Famous to do the 'smoke' I really wanted them to turn out like these amazing smoke nails but I just couldn't *sigh* I will need more practice!

I used white acrylic paint to draw on the elements and then applied a regular top coat followed by a matte top coat. I find matte top coat can smudge nail art so I always use a regular top coat first! Unfortunately the white writing turned yellow and I didn't realise until a few hours later when I took the photos :(

I need more time to watch the rest of this awesome show, but to do I'd need time! However holidays are starting this weekend so I may have to dedicate a day to watching Breaking Bad, that would be a good day!

PASTEL WATERCOLOUR NAILS

So do you remember the watercolour trend which used acetone from earlier this year? If not then check this out. Well I wanted to try it out but I didn't have any acetone : o ! So when I got some about a month ago I decided it was time, I tried to create like an early sunset effect which didn't really work out so turned into this mani you see right here ! 

I started off with one coat of Models Own Baby blues and then I used Barry M Pale Pink and Berry Ice and then Models own Lemon Meringue and the middle finger kind of looks like a sky and the others just look random but kinda cool ; )

So have you guys tried this technique and do you love it ?
