My Scooby Doo copycat nails!



I'm a copycat, I'll put my hands up and say it, but that's how you learn right? you see something on someone else, be it a dress, shoes, scarf, lipstick and you think "I'd want to try that, I wonder where they got it" "It must be mine"
Well when I saw this nail art guest post last week by Sharon from Behind Green Eyes, it stayed with me and when the following evening it was time to paint my nails, I was automatically pulling out the bits from this post to replicate it :)

The instructions from the post were clear as they always are when Sharon is instructing, and these were pretty easy to replicate, the only thing you need is patience while you wait for the different colours to dry.






I LOVE LOVE LOVE these nails, I love how the colours work together, how the lines are almost crisp and sharp (I'll keep practicing) When I look at them I think of Scooby Doo :) I can't explain really why I love these so much, but I just do, its just one of those things I guess. I instantly loved it and was very sad when they started to chip (after 3 days) its defo a colour combo that I'll use again.


I also noticed that my gym is painted in these shades too... lol.. tis a popular combo :)







What I used
Avon - Don't be Jaded
Models Own- Purple Pukka
Essence french tip liners
Seche Vite Top Coat

NOTD: NYC - 294 LEXINGTON YELLOW

NYC - 294  LEXINGTON YELLOW


Getting Dotty with it..

Hey All,
After reading and seeing lotsa reviews on this little number I had to pick myself up a bottle and for the bargain price of 1.79 euro, I HAD TO really *heehee*

Two coats of this and a top coat and my nails were lovely and bright and summery. NYC as always is affordable, the varnish has a good consistancy and colour pay off and the brush was easy to use.
So no complaints from me for this one.  


I decided that white little daisy type flowers would be very cute over this colour and summer too.
I used my tructy dotting tool and a blob of  Essence white manicure tip varnish.

However I decided to do the flowers whilst watching the Big Bang Theory and you can see for yourself the results!!!
My placement was all over the place because of my half assed attention to detail at the time.
I still kinda liked them even tho it looks like I was drunk at the time! But as always I learned the hard way that some things require your full attention for 5 whole minutes! oops
