Christmas Tree Nails

We got our Christmas tree today and I'm feeling festive so I decided to give these Christmas tree nails that I saw by One Nail To Rule Them All a sparkly go!!!

There is nothing quite like a real Christmas tree with its delicious pine scent. Now pair a Christmas tree with sparkles on your nails and you have something super exciting

PRISM

Katy Perry
Prism Album Cover inspired nails

I have been blasting Katy Perry's PRISM as my car dance tunes and been loving it! Despite the odd looks I get when getting my shimmy on in traffic I don't care cause This is how we do! and I feel like Walking on air with the windows down and my hips shaking.

Not only is the music on this album majestically whimsical and awesome so is the album cover art

For this nail art I am focusing on the delicate rainbow ombre that is dancing over her shoulder, glinting in the sunlight, with silver lines and accents echoing the album borders and triangular track list

The Heist

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis 

The Heist Album Cover inspired nails

Barry M Croc Effects

I love me a good rap and have been loving The Heist album for a while now and thought that I would take a stab at some nail art inspired by the reptilian album cover design

Tie-Dye Glitter Nails

It's no secret that I am one for bright colours and a sparkle of glitter so why not mix them together for a great springy nail look

Puzzle Nails

Time to put the pieces together!

Holiday Nails

It's a big decision, do I do my nails for my holiday???
It's all about the risks of dealing with potential chipping and maintenance vs. the reward of having stunning and awesome finger tips which I feel we can all agree just make you happy!

Welcome to Bali!!!

So this is the dilemma I battled with for probably a good week before I went to Bali earlier in the uni break this July. I decided yes! I want to have good looking nails while I am soaking up the sun, reading a good Jodi Picoult book overlooking the crystal clear Indian Ocean... 

Retro-Nautical-Glitter Nails

Hola! So this isn't a step-by-step tutorial but just detailed description of a fun little mani I put together yesterday afternoon while watching Jesus Christ Superstar!

I didn't really plan out what I was going to do but just when for whatever and I'm pretty pleased with the results. I don't often do these mixed pattern design but it was quite the fun experimenting with different tools and techniques... I think I may do it more often ;)

Great Gatsby Nails

So my life has recently been taken over by both The Great Gatsby movie and its soundtrack

This obsession is close to getting out of hand so I couldn't resist creating a Gatsby inspired nail design

Technicolour ombré nails

Ombregasm

So this isn't an entirely original post but I did this multi-colour ombre manicure on the weekend and fell head over nails!
Seriously these colour combos... frothing

Textured Nails

Don't you want to touch them???

When the textured nail polish trend emerged my first reaction was "who would want sandpaper on their nails?" However, after getting a few and trying them out I can say that I am a fan.

Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Colour

You Attracted???

Here's a fun review slash tutorial for you on the Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Colour 

When I first heard about magnetic nail polish technology I was intrigued but not really fussed. However! When I got given a bottle by my lovely friend 

Ra Ra I had to give it a go and I am so happy I did because now I'm a fan!

So this is the only magnetic nail polish I have tried but I'm super keen to try out some others brands and colours

Cling Wrap Nails

This is a really easy and effective technique to use on your nails to get an interesting and textured look

On all the blogs I have seen this technique it is called 'Saran Wrap Nails'. 
I had no clue what saran wrap was but quickly discovered it is what is known as cling wrap or Glad Wrap in Australia so that is what I am going with.

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Real Nail Polish Strips

So I bought a pack of these months ago and they have just been sitting with my nail polish doing a lot of nothing. But today, as I was doing absolutely nothing with my uni holidays, I made a decision... to finally attempt these things!
