26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Going on Holiday

The 19th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's challenge.

I am a few days late but the theme is Going on Holiday.

This is my interpretation.

I did palm trees on a two colour gradient base.  I have done these before in a different colourway, I think I prefer the original (here).

Also I did NOT use nail polish, I used acrylic paint for the gradient and trees :)  I put on a glitter coat over the top of the gradient however, and as you can see on the purple bit, it kind of did a shattered effect, I quite like that.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Work Appropriate Nail Art

This is the 15th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

This fortnight the theme is Work Appropriate Nail Art

Although anything I wear on my nails is appropriate for my work (I work in an Infant school).

But if I were working in an office perhaps or other profession I think subtle nail art would be more appropriate.

So this is what I came up with.  I used self adhesive nail stickers for the accents (I have worn these before here).

Christmas Day 2016 - Fail

I did some stamping for Xmas nails - a big fail.  But hay-ho, have to share the likes as well as the not!


Used an OPI red and PIA glitter red as well as a born pretty red stamping polish.

Christmas Nails with Gems and Decals

Another catch-up post.  Inspiration from Instagram @sidstudioruody,  Loved these when I saw them last Christmas, I had to do similar.


Green Christmas Nail Art

Another catch-up Post - December 2016

I did these nails way back in December last year.  Festive green nails with some nail water decal transfer stickers.


26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Pastel to Bold Gradient with Something on Top

This is the 14th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

This fortnight the theme is Pastel to Bold Gradient with Something on Top.

I love doing gradients, if a little messy.  Here I used a base coat of OPI Alpine Snow.  I put on a coat of SV for quick drying.  Then for the gradient I used LA Colors Mega Watt and Elf Mango Madness.

For the something on top, I used some floral and butterfly nail water decals - voila.

Simple and effective.

Floral Wrap

I am on a slight catchup with my manicures.

I did this one back in October.  Loved this combination.  I used some self adhesive nail wraps for the two accent nails.




26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Green Freestyle

This is the 13th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

This fortnight the theme is Green Freestyle.  I have chosen water decals for my freestyle.

I have used these water decals here before, about 2 years ago.  

Amazing how by just changing the colour of the polish/lacquer gives the manicure a completely different feel and look.
