Floral

I remember not really intending to do a floral design that week, but I had bought some nail sticker from ebay and wanted to try them out. They're just normal stickers that you just put on your nails, to save you fiddly about with stamps, water decals or nail brushes. But they are a bit fiddly, dunno if it was just me, but they easily tore if you weren't careful when taking them off the backing. They last for ages, especially if you put a topcoat on, but they are a bit annoying to take off, lots of scrubbing.

All things girly...

I must admit I'm no a girly girl...I hate pink, not much of a flower fan and...well, I have guy logic most of the time :p 

But I had a pink nail polish collecting dust (bought it because it seemed like a colour you should have) and I though it'd be a good idea to mix fimo and rhinestones to create a flower. It doesn't show up too well in the photo (thanks lame-o Blackberry camera) but I added a coat of pale pink glitter as well. If I was going to go girly, might as well go the full hog :P

What's black, white and red all over?

Minnie Mouse nails! I didn't do these on myself, I did them for a friend's birthday party :)

And as always one nail has to be different, so the thumb has clear rhinestones for the dots and a black fimo bow.

These are really cute yet simple, I also did them for a friend to wear to T In The Park!

Can't remember the name of this design :(

If anyone knows, please let me know, it's been bugging me since I done it so long ago!

Looking back on it, this is pretty messy. Lines are inconsistent and not straight, some of the colours have ran over the black :/ but this took me a while to do as you can guess :P

This is also when i started doing one nail different from the others, like the thumb has glitter on it instead of plain nail varnish.

Cos OCD never hurts.

It was around the start of summer time when I did these watermelon nails. but I didn't quite like how they turned out...

So, OCD struck and I redid them. This time with a proper nail striper brush (the ones previously were sriped with the brushes that came with the nail stripers from ebay, but they're horrid: bristles fall out in one swipe, brush thickness varies with each bottle) and a dotting tool.

I watch many cooking shows, and they always say odd numbers are more aesthetically pleasing than even, so I stuck with 3 seeds per nail, and they turned out a lot better than the original :)

Under The Sea...

This is my attempt at water marbling without the water :P

What I did was pick 2 colours, and used tone of the colours as a base colour. Once that dried, I then applied various sized blobs of  both colours, then swirled them together using a small dotting tool (or a toothpick if you don't have one) to create a swirly effect. I then added a matte topcoat on top :)

The swirls aren't as defined as it would be with water marbling, but you probably could create a more defined design if you placed blobs in a particular way and experimented with swirling :)

OM NOM NOM NOM!!

I have a slight obsession with the Cookie Monster. And Sesame Street in general, but I love this wee dude the most just cos he shares my love for cookies hehe.
