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.

Rosy Pink Decal Nails

Another manicure I missed posting - did back on 27 September 2016!

As the title suggests, a rose manicure with rose full nail water decals.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Weddings

Week 35 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

This week the prompt is weddings.

I guess when you think of wedding nails you would normally think pastel or french manicure or along those lines.

I took inspiration firstly from my own wedding outfit and then from the lovely @lauramerino12 on instagram.

I can't even remember what I had on my nails all those years ago (26 years).  But I thought if I did my nails, I would do them to match my outfit and this is what I came up with.

See what other participants did in this challenge via the inlinkz below:

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Love

Week 19 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

I am behind with my blog posts, but here is the manicure I did for this weeks challenge.

This week the prompt was Love.

This is what I did, it was very last minute and I missed the collage for this one :(
To me this is romantic, it is subtle, pale and pink. Oh and a water decal for the accent nail.

  

Still on a catch-up - Hazy Flowers - 31 May 2015

Hi all,  I am still trying very hard to catch up on my blog regards all my manicures that I have done this year.

I started a new nail art challenge back in October and I have been blogging about that instead.

I did however manage to get as far as 21 May of this year here.  

The next nail art I did I've already blogged about way back in May and you can see that here.

So onto the next one..... The last one for May 2015

A lovely delicate grey with a full self adhesive nail sticker on the accent nail.

For the main manicure I used Hazy by Revlon.  For the ring accent I used a base of Nails Inc Elizabeth Street, a very pale nude pink, on top of which, when dry, I applied the Nail sticker (bought from AliExpress). Top coat of SV and voila.

Inspired Skittlette - 26 January 2015

I saw this on Instagram @botanicnails and just fell in love with it.  I had to give it a go.  Not as good as the original, my lines could have been better, but not bad if I do say so myself.

Above, my hardly ever seen right hand :)

 

Water Decals and Dry Brush Technique

 25 October 2014 

Ok, not so happy with this at all.  It looked better in my head than on my nails. 

But I tried the dry brush technique here with some water decals as bought from AliExpress.

I wish I had just done one plain colour on the thumb, pointer and little finger. Never mind ....

Pink Gradient and Flower Decal - 27 July 2014

27 July 2014

I love doing gradient manicures.  I do try not to make too much of a mess when sponging, but still I don't like the clean up afterwards.

Anyway, isn't this one a beauty?  I think so :)  Really delicate with the pink blossom decals (which by the way I love - from AliExpress, haul I blogged about here).

Love it.

Geisha Nail Water Decals - XF1265

Another decal manicure to share.  Again an old manicure done back in October 2013.  This is the second lot of decals from a haul back in October (read here).  I had seen these on various blogs and on the internet and just had to have me some!
As lovely as they are they were not what I expected.  The ones I had seen blogged about covered the whole nail, these just looked too small.  Had I been duped?  Not at all.  Upon further investigation I found there were two types of decal in this same design, a small image decal (like mine) and a larger image decal.
I used them anyway as they are so pretty.  But I think my placement of the decal does not do it or my manicure any justice.  I should have either placed them near the top at the cuticle or the bottom near the free edge (another note to self!)

Items used:
Nails Inc - Elizabeth Street
LA Girl - Sterling Silver
AliExpress - Geisha nail water decals
OPI Nail Envy
Seche Vite
