NOTW: Orange and White Floral Nail Art

It's been a while since I've had the time and patience to get myself inspired to do some nail art. But yesterday I decided to crack open my BarryM White Nail Art Pen and give my hot orange nails a pick-me-up. I went for a pretty basic floral design but I'm really pleased with how they turned out. I hope that this might inspire you to spice up your nails for the weekend. 

NOTW || Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! I don't usually celebrate Halloween but I like to make an effort to make it fun. This year I've decided to created some Halloween themed nail art. I got inspiration for this look from a photo I saw posted on Instagram (Follow me JennaDoesBeauty) and decided I just had to do it. Personally, I think this look isn't as good as I imagined I could have done it, but I still think it's a great idea for Halloween!

Have you created any Halloween themed nail art this year?

Nail Design: Mad About Ombre!

If you've seen my previous post you will see that I am loving ombre nail art this summer. Today, I had a friend come over so I could do her nails for her 21st birthday tomorrow night. She is wearing a gorgeous green dress and nude heels and wanted a nail design look that would compliment her outfit. After thinking about it for a few minutes, I came up with this super cute coral ombre design. To create this look I used Barry M's Coral and Peach Melba as well as Barry M's Matt White for the base colour. The colours blend in really well together to create an even gradient. My friend was really happy with the overall look and can't wait to celebrate her birthday in style.

Nail Design: Summer Ombre

 

Ombre has been a trend that has well and truly hit. You would have seen trends from ombre hair to ombre nails. For this nail design look I used a dark pink colour, an orange and a bright yellow. I think the colours really blend in well with each other.

 

The colours I used for this design are:

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine in Pomegranate

Collection 2000 Hot Looks in Hip Hop

Barry M Limited Edition Nail Paint in 326

 

Nail Design: Watercolours and White Triangles

 

 

This watercolour nail design is right on trend this season, especially with bright colours. The white triangles give it an Aztec-y look which is really big in the fashion world at the moment. This look would be great for any of you festival-goers this summer and I guarantee you'll get your fair share of compliments.

Nail Design: Polkadot Rhinestones



Essie - Not just a pretty face
NYC - String of pearls


Pastel colours have most definitely made a comeback this summer after being all the rage last year. I couldn't get enough of the mint greens and pale pink colours. This week I'm wearing Essie's Not Just A Pretty Face and NYC's String of Pearls to create this cute polkadot design. I added some small silver rhinestone's to give a pop of elegance. I think this look is quite a muted look for summer, as I prefer brighter colours, but would be great if you were going to a more formal occasion like a wedding or christening.

I would love to know what you think about this nail art design and if you would like to see some kind of tutorial on how to recreate this look.
