40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Glitter Topper or Flakie - Camouflage

Here we are now on week ten of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

This week the prompt for everyone is Glitter Topper or Flakie with a personal pattern prompt each, mine is Camouflage.

I had a pretty good idea of what to do.  Mind you having said that, the camo nails are my second attempt.  I did the first ones, randomly painting on stripes in different colours.  But the end result looked awful, so I took it off, re-did the accent nails and so much better!

I am very pleased with the end result and got lots of compliments on the manicure.  The flakie polish gave the whole manicure a different look in different lighting.

Born Pretty Store Dotting & Liner Brush Pen Tool and Pirate Nails

I am showing you this great **Dotting & Liner Brush Pen Tool sent to me for review by Born Pretty Store. It retails at £1.65 or $2.77 and the icing on the cake, it is free shipping worldwide.

It is so versatile, two tools in one.  I am also showing you my nail art I did for work.  It is book week at school, and our theme was Pirate related. I dressed up as a pirate and did nails to match using the brush/dotting tool from BPS.  I did the stripes and pirate bandana with the **brush end and the pirate face with the dotting end.

So, if you want this brush you can use my discount code PBL91 which will get you 10% off the full price. So what are you waiting for, go to Born Pretty Store for loads more nail art goodies.

Ombre Manicure

This is my try at the Ombre Manicure. I first saw this on Audrey's blog and youtube video (aka Szuchnic).

I thought I would give it a go, and this is what I came up with.



I used 3 colours, NYC i134A, NYC 112A and La Femme Beauty un-named dark red/burgandy colour.



The middle finger is the original NYC 112A organge. For the little finger I used the NYC112A with La femme mixed in to darken the shade. The middle finger same, only a smaller amount of La femme to lighten the shade a little from the pinky finger. For the index and thumb I mixed in the NYC i134A to the orange shade, adding more to lighten more for the thumb.





My Favourite is the thumb colour, I am now looking to find a shade like this. Any suggestion?


A few days later, I got bored and did a fauxnad on my nails. The photo does not do this justice! Looked much better in reallity.
