Nail Challenge Day 7: Grey Ombre

I love ombres! So simple yet chic. I recently found a kit that was inexpensive and took the guesswork out of choosing polishes for this grey ombre. 

Easter Chicks Nail Art

Hello beautiful! Happy Easter! It's a bright, colorful time of the year for me with my nieces and their cute Easter bonnets and baskets filled with colorful chocolate eggs. So to add to the cuteness I thought I w ould paint for them some hatching baby chicks and bright dotted eggs. Here goes!

Nail Challenge Day 6: Favorite Color Family

Blue blue blue! Despite the fact that pink and purple are my favourite colours, I have way more blue polishes in my stash than any other colour. I just adore the colour blue in a nail polish.

Nail Challenge Day 5: Purple Butterflies

Besides pink, purple is my next favourite colour. Lately both pinks and purples have been competing for that top spot in my heart. I also have been enjoying 3D nail designs and for today's look I'm bringing out the fimo.

Nail Challenge Day 4: Pink Flower Power

Pink has been my all time favourite colour. Imagine a girly pink room with pink curtains and matching pink bedsheets! Yup that was me. For today's nail challenge I am pulling on some girly pink flower power.

Nail Challenge Day 3: Gold Magic

Day 3 so soon and we are on with Gold nails today. I'm still keeping it simple and am giving you a China Glaze duet for today's nail challenge. A brown base with golden highlights topped by a chunky golden glitter.

Nail Challenge Day 2: Silver Cracks

Day two and I thought I would just go with something a bit simple. When was the last time you picked up all those crackle polishes when crackles were all the rage last year? I thought I would dust my colours off and try one.

Crumpet's Nail Challenge & Day 1: Black and White

Hello beautiful! I am embarking on my second nail challenge with my lovely blogger friends DrinkCitra and Cosmetic Proof and a newbie to the group Lost in Lacquer. I thoroughly enjoyed my first challenge which pushed me to improve on my nail designs and techniques. Starting from today and posting every 2 days, we will be painting our nails with the guidance of Crumpet's nail challenge.

Strawberries and Grapes

Let's take a walk through a strawberry field and when we are done with that, let's head on down to a vineyard. Today's look incorporates soft, subtle colours of pinks and purples to create a neutral look with a pop of colour. Eating strawberries and drinking wine!!!

Fashion Inspired: Blue Mesh Nail Art

Hello beautiful! Today's nail art design is inspired by a recent Maybelline design done for a recent fashion event. Instead of looking at their nail art I took my inspiration straight from the dress instead and gave it my own twist by changing up the colour scheme to work with my skintone.

NYFW: Hand Laid Stones (Inspired by Libertine)

I've been really enjoying finding inspiration from the catwalk for my latest nail art designs. This one is very simple but the overall effect is quite stunning that I was left wondering how I didn't think of this one myself. If you are a DIY person then stick around to see how I did my version of this manicure seen during NYFW by Libertine.
