26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Winter warmth

4th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

Challenge this week is winter warmth.

I was stuck on this one - so just did plain gradient warm nails.

Plum Luck Saran Wrap Skittlette - 10 November 2015

I love the saran wrap (cling film to us Brits) method.  It is quick, easy and very effective.  I particularly lurrvve how this one turned out.  Love it.

 

Rose Fail - 1 August 2014

1 August 2014

A big fail here.  Although I love the colours, the roses were a BIG FAIL here!  I normally do my nail art with acrylic paint, only sometimes do I use the polish itself. 

Here I did use the nail polish and they just did not turn out right.  To top it all, when I applied the top coat, it all smeared.

Rose Decal Skittlette - 14 July 2014

14 July 2014

My favourite way to dress nails when in a hurry or not - water decals (from AliExpress). So quick and easy.

OPI Nail Envy as base coat and Seche Vite top coat.

14 September 3/7 - Dark Fatal Affair!

3rd of my September '12 nails.  This colour was very fitting, you may/may not notice this is my right hand in the photos!  My left was not doing so well, well my nails anyway.  As I said in my previous post my nails starting taking a battering and I had to cut and file them back drastically! 

Items Used:
Nail Envy
Seche Vite Top Coat
Misa - Fatal Affair

Victoria - ASOS Paints by Ciate

Sorry for not being on for a while.  Busy with work and kids etc....

But I would like to share a manicure I had on about two weeks ago.  After having to cut down my nails, I wanted to cheer up and put on my dark colours again.  So I opted for another never worn colour, Victoria by ASOS Paints.  This was a lovely dark plum/vampy shade, opaque in two coats and application was ok.  Sorry for messy cuticles.

Colour was lovely, but my nails seems to be in a bad shape at the moment.  They are splitting and peeling.  I know it is my fault, I have been very lazy in not applying cuticle oil over the past few weeks.  Having the central heating on all the time is not helping, but I am not going to freeze.

2011 - My First Manicure of the Year

My New Year Eve Manicure lasted a very long time.  I was surprised that the jewels did not drop off, what with back to work and lots of washing dishes!! But enough was enough and I changed my manicure last night.
 I have gone for this gorgeous, dark, seductive colour by Nails Inc - Crown Court.  It is lovely deep plum shade with a slight red shimmer running through it.  Lovely this time of year, or any other time really

Taken indoors with flash, you can see the slight shimmer

Taken outdoors, natural, oh dear excuse the dry skin, need to moisturise!
