The Check and block Design!

Heyy girls!
I'm back with a new design that is inspired by hottest pattern trends in fashion, which is the Checkered style.



The colours and patterns were influenced by the page in the background, which was a cut out from my weekly fashion magazine 'LOOK'.

Equipment list:

  • Usual base and top coat.
  • Nail art brush 
  • Black nail polish 
  • Light purple nail polish. 
  • White nail polish. 
How I created the nail art?: 
  • I first painted two coats of white nail polish (for thick and full coverage) 
  • Once dried I used the nail art brush with the black and purple nail to paint square blocks on the index and fourth finger nails. 
  • On the rest of the nails I just used the purple nail polish and painted vertical and horizontal lines to create the check pattern. 
  • Once everything was dried I painted a top coat for longer lasting. 


Well that's all for this post, hope you all like the design and perhaps inspire you to create a similar nail design. :) x

The Geometric Grey!

Heyy girls!
I'm back and I'm really excited about this nail design!, because it features inspiration from my very own jewellery which I designed and made myself.

This was the first time I had created fashion jewellery but really it's all thanks to the V&A museum for organising the 'Create! Jewellery', which was a one day workshop where I learn about making jewellery with basic materials such as felt and plastic, as well getting to meet two different jewellery designers.

I guess you girls can see my design is a little unique (and maybe weird) but I chose geometric     for its modern and dynamic take on fashion, I love how simplistic the design looks, and I love how well the colours are together.

Now enough about the jewellery lol!
Moving onto nails.....
I wanted to create a nail design with the similar shapes and colours, because they just look so well together.

Equipment:


  • The usual top and base coat
  • Grey nail polish
  • White nail polish 
  • And pale dusty blue nail polish.

How I created this design?

  • Filed my nails, buffed and polished cuticles, not forgetting the usual, painted my base coat.
  • Painted two coats of barry M's grey nail polish and left to dry.
  • Used a nail art brush to paint rectangular shapes in a pale blue, for a contrasted effect.
  • Once dried I used a dotting tool to randomly paint dots over the two colours.
  • Once everything was dried, I of course painted a top coat and finished!

Well that's it for today's post, I will end with a mini gallery displaying photos of my geometric nail design, which I hope you like :) 
Thanks for reading it and if you want to see more designs please follow me! :)

Two sided chic :) !

Heyy Girls,

This new post features my previous nail design that I forgot to upload on my blog, it is a simple design but has that edge of sparkle that makes it perfect style for day and night. :)

 Equipment:

The usual top and base coat.
White nail polish
Grey nail polish
Silver glitter nail polish.
Dotting tools.


How I created this design!:

  • I painted my base coat and left it to dry.
  • Once it was dried, I painted two coats of white nail polish for full coverage (TIP! The paler nail colour is painted first) 
  • Then painted half of each nail in grey, to give it a contrast. I decided not to paint the other colour in a straight line, just so it looks a little unique. 
  • Finally I painted a small glitter dot on each side but in opposite direction. ( inspired by the popular symbol 'yin yang'. However I decided to use glitter instead of opposite colours, so that there is a special sparkle. 

Well that's it for this post :)
Hope you all like this simple yet chic design, of course feel free to be inspired but this design, and for chic updates follow my blog. X
