Nail Art

This week’s prompt on Nail Art Nation was waterfall nails. Fabiana did a great design on a beige base which you can find here. I always like to be a bit different, so I decided to start with a black base and create some Holographic Waterfall Nail Art.  Read More

Today is the final day of July’s Watermarble Practice Wednesday challenge, and I had to create a seaside inspired design. My Beach Watermarble Nail Art uses waterspotting to imitate waves crashing on to a beach.  Read More

Since I’ve joined apolishedcolleen’s July Watermarble challenge, there was no way I could avoid a neon design. Since we’ve already established I don’t have any true neon polishes that cooperate, I decided to try a Pastel Neon Watermarble. Read More

This design was part of the Maniswap Circle on Instagram, organised by glacewing (Angela) and natasha_dauncey (Natasha). I recreated noregrets4life_nails (Danielle) who did this Cyber Punk Samurai design. I was recreating it in cornflower blue to make Electric Punk Samurai. The Maniswap Circle specifies a colour each time to use. Read More

The challenge for this week’s Watermarble Practice Wednesday is Matte Starburst. Let’s just say I still need the practice! I’ve managed to avoid the bubbles this time, but somehow I managed to miss the Watermarble Starburst when I dipped my fingers.  Read More

Over on Nail Art Nation, my friend Fabiana set this week’s challenge… ‘Sexy Flags’. Frankly I’ve no idea how you make that sexy, so here are some shiny Flag Nails instead.  Read More

I am a bit of a sucker for Picture Polish shades, and this is one I bought earlier this year.  Picture Polish Merge is a beige creme with scatter holo particles.  That means all the individual pieces make their own rainbow, rather than one big one across the nail.  I started with a swatch, then added some nail art (of course) and then had to go a bit crazy with the hand positions to capture the art!
