Grassy Flowers!

Hey guys!

I got a comment on my previous post (HERE) from a friend of mine and she suggested that I do the accent flower nail on all my nails! Therefore, that's exactly what I did!

Here are the pictures!

I loveeeeeeee the textured effects from Barry M and I love using it as a base and it feels so nice to touch!!

Today I got an email from Lucy who works for MoneySupermarket.com. She asked me to enter a competition she is running where tips and tutorials are given to save money but still have great nail art!

Here are a few of the tips I have learnt from YouTube videos and online searches!

1. If you don't have a dotting tool you can use a tooth pick, end of a needle or hair pin! and it works in exactly the same way! I used the end of a hair pin to achieve the flower petals on my nails!

2. To achieve a textured look on your nails without buying expensive textures nail polish you can paint a thick layer of polish and wait for it to half dry and dab on lightly with kitchen tissue! Same effect!

3. Recently there has been a craze over O.P.I Spotted polish and from CutePolish's tutorial I found an easy and cheap way to get the same effect!  link here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnhfvuoBAMo

4. To get easy nail decals you can grab a plastic wallet and your nail polish and draw your design on it, wait for it to dry and voilà  peel it off and place it on your nail! easy and simple!

Those are just a few simple tips to save money while trying to create a great manicure!

This Post is my entry for the Money Smart Nail Art competition! 

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!

1 Year Blog-Anniversary!

OH MAHH GERRRRRRDDD!!

It's been a year today since I started my blog! A year since I've stopped biting my nails raw (EW!) and a year for me to accumulate over 200 bottles of nail polish.....wow!

Now I decided to do a freehand design using the new Barry M textured nail polish which I effing adore! The damn thing feels so nice to bloody touch and I could stop rubbing my nails like a lil nail pervert MUAHAHAHA!

I've seen this bumble bee design somewhere but I cant remember where! So its not my idea originally but the accent nail flower is :)

Here art thou pics!

I really LOVE the texture of the nail polish and I think I will most definitely buy the other two colours! One downside....Bloody hard to remove! Its like removing glitter nail polish! 

I am so happy I've kept to my blog for a year now! And I hope soon enough I'll end up writing my "50th blog-anniversary!" HAHA!

Thanks for reading!

Bye for nows!

Laid Back 31DC - Silver!

Hey guys,

Second day of the challenge requires a silver manicure! What better than being a lazy bum and using your stamping plates!?!?

I decided to do a starry night kind of design since it was the first thing that came into my head being interested in space and the universe like my Mr Dork :)

Picture time!

Taking pictures was really hard since the shiny silver was cancelled out by the reflection of the light!

What do you think?

Sugar Spun Madness!

Hey guys!

I decided to try out a technique I've been meaning to do for a while and that is the sugar spun method. I've seen this on many blogs and some tutorials on YouTube and it intrigued me!

All you have to do is use a toothpick, dotting tool, blah blah blah....and wait till the polish is semi dry and try to pick it up and it forms thin strands which you can place over the nail!

Here is my attempt :)

Its actually more 3D looking in real life! Feels bumpy and nice to touch, cant stop feeling it :D

What do you think of this technique? yay or nay?

Bye for now!
