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 :)

THE CORONAS

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 :)

I used:
