NOTD: Bling Neon - Models Own Pink Punch

I do like a bitta sparkle in my life and what better way to jazz up the nails than to add a little bling

I think Models Own Pink Punch was my favourite polish of the summer, I wore it a LOT and it was brill on the toes too.. So I decided to add a little bling to my nails, I may have went a bit OTT on these because once I started adding it I couldn't stop!!!

Prepare to see a LOT of  photos

I used so much top coat to keep the bling on that my nail literally peeled itself off!!! See the evidence for yourself.. I was gutted :(

SELF PEELING NAIL

I liked the above nails a lot except for the fact that the bling got caught on EVERYTHING. So I decided to redo them but just use the bling as accent nail!! BUT before I could take photos of this mani, I was carrying the polish and a book and a drink all together across the kitchen and dropped the polish, YUP, it smashed all over the porcelain tiles! My heart dropped to my toes!! I had to get down on all fours with baby wipes and scrub!!! I wasn't thinking about my nails at this point only about lifting the colour from the tiles!! I had to use some nail varnish remover and cotton wool aswell as wipes!
This did not work out well for my nails :(
I was gutted by the end result. But at least I saved the tile (which would have been waaaay more expensive to replace!!

What do you think? Are you a fan of bling and blinging????

NOTD: The Sun is Out :)

The sun was out when I done this mani, I forgot to post it at the time!! Oops So I thought I'd show you it now. Better late than never eh :)

I started with 2 coats of yellow, followed by a top coat..

I then used a ring enforcer and striping tape to do my accent nail, I was going for rays of sunshine....

I liked this look and decided that I did indeed have the patience to do all fingers the same..
Except the thumb, I messed that up, so I just turned it blue :)

These lights at the Corona Gig back in the Marquee in June were my inspiration for this nail art, aswell as the sunshine of course :)

BLACK & GOLD Nail Art - **Gatsby Inspired**

Hey Guys,

After seeing the film The Great Gatsby, I wasn't mad about the film, but I loved the style and glamour of it all.. I was born in the wrong era!! But I'd never have been as glam as those ladies were **le sigh*

But anyhu, it was the credits of the film that I was inspired by, all that black and gold and clean lines, I had seen other bloggers do Gatsby inspired nail art, so I decided to hold mine back for a little while, because everyone and their cat was talking/blogging about it!!!

So this is how my nails started, plain and simple.

Then I got happy/creative with striping tape

Overall, I was happy with how these turned out. Using the tweezers on the striping tape really helped me.
I'm getting the hang of it. Practice definitely makes perfect :)
