New York Fashion Week Inspired

There were all kinds of fancy nails going on at NYFW. One of my favourite designs was the half-moon reverse manicure, seen at Azede Jean-Pierre (by OPI) and at Libertine (by Butter London). So I decided to give it a go.

One of the best things about this design is you can make it as easy or as complicated as you want. If you're not confident freehand, then you can use either a nail tip guide or a punched hole reinforcements. Beyond that, you can use any colour and embellishments you choose!

I went for a spring green colour on most nails (another popular trend), and tried out one of the new Revlon scented polishes. It genuinely smelled like Lime Basil for a day, but it didn't last beyond that. I also went for a glitter on the bling finger, obvs.

Another advantage of the style is that when it starts to grow out, no-one needs to know!
Hope you like.

Strictly OTT Nails!

 Strictly Come Dancing is back! I absolutely love it. I've been doing latin and ballroom dancing for 3 years now so SDC is pretty much my spiritual home. I decided to do some SDC themed nails, so I went for pink and purple, which are the program colours, ridiculous amounts of glitter and a rhinestone glitterball thing.

 

 Here's a close up of the "glitterball". I added the pink rhinestones to represent the writing on the trophy. They are actually 2 tone pink, but it doesn't really show up in the picture.

I'm pretty happy with them and I'm hoping they last until Sunday so they can be my birthday nails as well. And remember, keeeeeep dancing!

Chanel inspired

I originally did these nails for a competition, but being the genius I am, I missed the deadline. Still, I like the nails, they're quite sleek, but still include bling. You gotta love bling.

 I made the Chanel double c symbol out of individual rhinestones, and took a while. Not one for the impatient.
