I wasn't too sure what to call this - but it looks like frills, so I settled with that. I went a bit pin crazy the other day and pinned a load of nail art inspiration. This being one of them. I'd not seen anything like it, so thought I'd try it out!
It took me forever to do this - an episode of Vampire Diaries and two episodes of Heroes, to be precise. I was originally just going to do an accent nail, but decided 'sod it', and did the rest of 'em too! So pretty [well I think so!].
All I did was paint my nails white as the base. Then I did a strip of nail polish at the bottom, by the cuticle. I then used a dotting tool to 'dot' the lines across. I waited a little while between colours, which is why this took so long! I used Models Own Utopia, Black Magic & Mystique Mauve, essie bikini so teeny and barry m lilac foil.
How have you been spending your Saturday? I took Ben out for lunch at Nando's - I know, I know, such a romantic - probably shouldn't mention the fact he gave me his loyalty card so I could use his free whole chicken on my veggie stuff :)
Also, I've recently hit 500 followers [thank you!] so am thinking of doing a little giveaway! How about it? What sort of stuff should I get together for it?
Oh wow this looks so cool, it's been far too long since I've sat down and done some really bangin' nail art. I think for give aways things that you really love are good prizes :) x
ReplyDeletethis looks fab! I think my hands are too shaky and I wouldn't have the patience for more than an accent nail though.. it looks like a crazy knitting pattern :D xx
ReplyDeleteYour nails look great!

These are sooo gorgeous! I wish I had the patience to do this :')
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment by the way. If you're between a 5 and 6 I'd say a 6 would be just right for you in the loafers because they run very slightly small in my opinion. For example I usually have to buy a 3 but ideally my size would be 2 and a half, and the 3 fits me perfectly :) xoxo
These are amazing, no wonder they took ages!
ReplyDeleteWow your nails are so pretty! I love both the design and colours :)
