52WODN Last Installment of 3WeekFruitFest.....PINEAPPLES XD

XD <this kinda looks like a pineapple, no? haha, well it's the last week in my 3week Fruit fest!
And I cannot lie I have really enjoyed making it! Next time I pick a theme to run with I may do 4 or 5 weeks as once I had finished this last one I came up with so many other ideas! :P

Ahh well, to get this Pineapple inspired look all you need is a Steady Hand and Barry M's Textured Nail Paint in Station Rd, Model's Own Lemon Meringue Nail Polish, Claire's Accessories Glitter layer in Orange and a Orange Nail Art Pen :)

Polishes I used... :)

Here's what it looks like!...

My Left Hand :)

My Left Thumb :P

My Right Hand-Please excuse the Tippex from work... :O

My Right Thumb!

So, I think this week my Left Hand and Thumb win...sorry Right Hand! >.<

See you guys next week, I am not sure what the theme will be yet so why not Tweet me some ideas!? x x

52WODN 19.8.13 Kiwis! Part of my 3 week Fruit Fest XD x

Photo off of GoodThing's Facebook Page :)

After seeing the super cute pictures off of GoodThing's Facebook page: I have now decided to try them out for myself in a 3 week Fruit Fest!


So here is this week's creation: Kiwis. This one looked like the easiest to do. In fairness, it was simple to think through...but, not so easy to actually create :P Funnily enough, though, my first attempt (my left thumb) turned out to be my very best one! The trick to them looking good, I found, is that you make the white bit as big as you can and the black dots as SMALL as possible too, it's all about the detailing XD


So to get this look I used Sally Hansen's Mousseline as the base creamy/white colour all over the nail. I then used the end of a pencil (y'know the rubber that's usually more smudgey and messy than rubbing out-ey?) dipped in Illasmaqua's Radium. I then made the lil' dots with a black nail art pen :)

My Dodgy Left hand XD

My PERFECT Left Thumb!!!

My Not so bad Right Hand >.<

My ALREADY chipped right thumb :P

I was pretty shocked by how quickly my right hand chipped, but I am not sure if that's perhaps because I started doing stuff too quickly after painting them :/ However, from a distance these nails look SOO much like Kiwis! People have been guessing them correctly so they must do :P and up close...you can still sorta tell >.< haha!

Well keep your eyes PEELED for next week's addition in the 3weeksFruitFest...is that a clue? You decide! :P xxx

52WODN Britain's Next Top Model Logo Inspired!

So today I really, really wanted to try out some proper Nail Art type stuff. Lines! Lines seemed like a great idea at the time! (Oh how wrong could I be!) Lines are soooo difficult to do!
Nonetheless, determined. I struggled on!
To be perfectly honest, though, I am quite pleased by how they turned out :D

The logo for a reminder ;)

I used Barry M's Nail Paint (NP66) as the White Base colour and my Primark Nail Art Pens in the purpley colour and black :) I also used a couple of gems but they have smudged a bit :/ 

My Left Hand :)

My Left Thumb :)

My Right Hand :)

My right thumb is ATROCIOUS! but oh well haha, I feel like every week when I do my nails, they're getting better and better, each week I feel a bit more adventurous than the last :D

Don't forget to check back tomorrow for my Look of the day post! (coming every Tues, Thurs & Sat!)

52 Weeks of Delicious Nails, 17.06.13. A Laid Back Nude-ey week before Barcelona Brights!

As the title suggests this week's nails are all laid back and relaxed (whilst still looking tres chic I will add!). This is because I don't want to do too much to my nails before my Barcelona BRIGHTS! I've decided on BRIGHT Nail Wraps of some sorts....not sure what ones yet (decisions, decisions...eh! haha).

So, for the base colour I used Headline Colors nail polish (from my May Glossybox) and for the squiggly lines I used my Paperchase's Nail Art Pen in Black :)

My Left Hand :)

My Right Hand....urgh! IT's always so difficult to photograph it! haha XD

*Random Insert Alert!* Here's a Chibi my friend Evie (the one I went to rocky horror with: http://tinyurl.com/or23ayt) drew of me!

See! I have a lil' duo fibre brush and smokey shadow palette! :P I love it XD Plus my boobs look amazing. ngl ;) x

You can catch Evie's work on her deviant art: ShadowDaChampionPony and her stuff is amazing so I'd definitely recommend looking at it (it is mainly cartooney horses just FYI :D)


So, yeah, that's it for this post! keep an eye out for my posts while I am away (not sure if I'll be able to fb link them y'see :P) and if you haven't yet then LIKE my Facebook Page! (www.facebook.com/Januarybeautyful) xxx
