Dreamcatcher Nail Art

Hi everyone! I'm excited to say that I've been wanting to do this design for a long time now, and I've finally done it - on both hands! I found this really awesome vintage looking dreamcatcher illustration on google here and immediately fell in love with it, and of course, it's what I decided to base my nail art on.

What I really loved about this illustration was the freehand style and the lovely feather colours - sucker for beautifully coloured things! I tried to copy exactly how the picture was drawn, right onto my nails and I think I did a pretty good job - I love them heaps!

Let's have a look at the pics :)







Lots of pics for you all to enjoy! I hope you like this mani! Let me know what you think :) I still have a few old manis to post, so expect those soon.

Takecare!

Glitter Triangle Half Moons with Black Design

Hello fellow readers! Tonight I have another older mani to show you. I remember just receiving one of the polishes I bought online (China Glaze I'm Not Lion) and was really excited to try it out cause I thought that polish was so pretty!

I really just decided on something random - I didn't know what it was, but a co-worker asked if they were zippers and I said no they aren't, just something random haha. I was kind of going for some different tribal look and I don't know, doesn't really look like anything, so just I basically just went with the flow.

Here are some pics




Don't mind the index finger, it got ruined at work before I could get a nice shot of it. I was removing a red-ish colour for a customer and it just went everywhere, like all reds do.

So what do you think of this mani? I thought it was a little unusual, but still ok for me :) I will be back to post another older mani soon, so stay tuned!

Fun Fishtails

Hey everyone! I have lots of pics to share (all of which are old because I have been snapping and not posting!) and one of them is this fun fishtail mani that I did about a month or more back. I remember wanting to do something simple, because I had work the day after and this took me longer than I thought it would, but it turned out great, so a fine tradeoff for me!

With the lovely brights, pastels and neons in season for spring, I decided to use some brights for this mani. I'm really digging the colours that are appearing for spring this year - love it! Think I need to do some more spring related nail art :D

Anyways, here are the pics for your viewing pleasure,




Sorry for the totes awkward photo with the lights and curtain showing...

While I was sporting this look at work, there was actually a girl who asked to have her nails done like mine were and of course I did them for her, but in different colours! I should've taken a picture, but I didn't so boo to me. Her one used a lime-ish pastel green, a medium blue, a hot pink and a light/medium  purple. She really loved it and I thought the colours were so great together.

That's all I have for you today, what do you think?


Will see you all shortly in the next post :) Takecare

Cool 3D Cubes Nail Art Tutorial

Heya all! I know that there has been an appalling amount of posting from me (guilty). Sad to say that I've been so lazy and not bothered to post, though I am trying now! I have a few manis that I have snapped pics for and will post those up shortly after this one, so your patience is greatly appreciated!

I finally have the tutorial for the 3D cubes edited properly and such. Last time I was working on it, the video had been overlapped on some areas and the video itself played in the wrong order - how that happened, I will never know, but it's all fixed now :)

Hope the tutorial is easy to follow and informative for you all, enjoy!
