Red Arrows

I have been busy doing the Nail It nail art challenge and am up to day 16 so I am still going strong hence the slightly delayed posts. But check out my instagram (@nailstori) to see all of the nails that didn't make it onto the blog. 

This was for the theme; your choice. And I decided to go simple and pretty. 

Using; L'oreal - Raven's Dreams, Essie - Fifth Avenue and LA colors. 

Raven's dream is one of the best nude's I've used, I think it is so pretty. A lot of nude's look odd on my skin tone but I really like this one. (Even though it looks a little yellow in the pictures)

At first I was going to use striping tape to help my lines but I decided to go free hand to get some practice in, and it didn't go too badly. There is definitely room for improvement but isn't there always. 

These pictures are without a top coat - because I forgot! How could i. So it actually looked super glossy and I just loved wearing it. 

I couldn't resist adding a picture of them on my trip to the spa - they looked so good with their lighting. What a sad thing to be thinking about! 

Cannot wait to share some designs I've already done. And hopefully some stamping practice with my MoYou kit finally!

Sunshine silver

First of all, sorry for my lack of posts this week, I've been working on a new exciting nail related business idea.

The products I used for this design was; OPI - Natural Base, Essie - Mint Candy Apple and LA colors. I used striping tape purchased from ebay to create to perfect line. 

I really like this design, the colours work well together and I think it is quite subtle but turns a plain mani into a little bit more of an arty one. 

As for the polishes; this Essie colours is amongst my favourites in my whole nail polish collection (a fair few) it dries really quickly with an even coat and is the perfect pastel colour for the summer months. I am also liking this LA colors silver more and more. I was unsure at first because it wasn't the most expensive polish but it works great and is pretty easy to remove - always a bonus with glitter colours.
