Easter Nail Art

Happy Easter Everyone.

First off this weekend my blog has hit 5,000 views, Thank you all so much, its a nicer present that n any Easter egg to know that your reading and hopefully enjoying my blog :) 

So this week, I was undecided what I wanted to do on my nails for Easter! I knew that I fancied a colour injection, but other than that I wasn't too sure!! So I picked 5 bright colours and started from there. I'm sorry I didn't take a photo of my nails before I started to doodle!! 
But here is how my nails turned out. I left both thumbs out of this (incase your wondering)

RIGHT HAND 

So I decided that I would do every nail different, I started with the pretty yellow nail, I was thinking a lil cute Easter chick, I was trying to make it look like he was peeking out of an egg shell, not a bad first attempt, but his eyes and nose could be better!! 

The bunny on the pink finger I think is cute. The other two nails i decided to try to decorate like Easter Eggs, I used nail art pens. I like the end result especially on the blue nail.

LEFT HAND 

As you know I'm dotty for spotty :) and time wasn't on my side unfortunately, so spots over all these pretty colours seemed like a good option to me, and I was happy with the outcome, I didn't spot the drag marks over the spots until I uploaded the photos onto the computer!! 

I had left my ring/yellow finger blank with the intentions of attempting another chick on this finger, but sadly I never got around to it!! But hey, Yellow is a nice Eater colour and it looks pretty as it is I think :) (good excuse? lol) 

WHAT I USED

From Left to Right

• GREEN = Avon Speed Dry + nail enamel - Don't be jaded
• BLUE = Catrice 400- Blue Cara  Ciao
• PINK = Barry M Gelly Hi Shine - Grape Fruit
• YELLOW = Catrice 700 Birdy Reloaded!
• ORANGE = ESSIE 210a Orange, Its Obvious

Valentines Day Nail Art #1

I decided to have a little practice of doing love hearts on my already lovely plum Barry M nails.


These are very shakey I must admit, but it was a first attempt and hopefully I will improve as the week goes on..

LEFT HAND

I do like the pink on the purple I  must admit, I used all 3 pinks on all hands in the end because they weren't bright enough for my tacky tastes.

The silver pen was me just messgin around, but its not too bad is it?

RIGHT HAND 

These are messy compared to the other nail Arts I've seen during the week, but we all have to start somewhere and as I said above, with practise (and better light) I'll improve :)

WHAT I USED

Simple Pleasures - Pink
Catrice - R.E.S.P.I.N.K
Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Plum
Barry M Gelly Hi Shine -
Nail Art Pens from Penneys - Pink & Silver

Barry M Gelly Hi Shine PLUM

Hello hello my lil friends, 

I'm playing catch up with my posts, I've been painting and snapping my nails, but I haven't been posting.

I bought myself two of the new Barry M Gelly Hi Shine nail polish's as a treat. They cost me £4.00 each in Superdrug in Edinburgh. Today I'm here to show you the plum.

Barry M Gelly Hi Shine PLUM

These photos were taken after applying one coat of polish, I didn't think it needed a second coat, which is rare, the shine from it was nice. It applied nice and easy. No complaints so far.

NO TOP COAT

I found tho that after a day the shine faded and the tips were starting to wear and also indents from my clothes were taking shape in my nails. 

So I decided to top up my colour and to apply a top coat, I do like my nails to feel nice and shiney and to look glossy.

SECHE VITE APPLIED

 I like this colour I must say, I'm a fan of the dark Cadburys purple look, even tho its probably more suited to the Autumn season. This colour went on well and had a nice shine. I  can see it being my go to colour in the future.
