Cath Kidston inspired nail art tutorial

I thought I would share how I did my Cath Kidston inspired nail art. I think this is a super easy but very effective bit of nail art. It doesn't take that long either!

Here's what I used - obviously you can use different colours but this is what I chose:

Base coat, pink nail polishes, green nail polish, white nail polish, white nail art pen, dotting tool and a fine paintbrush.



First, paint your nail with your chosen base coat and let it dry.



Use the nail art pen to make little cloud-like splodges.



Put a blob of pink nail polish onto a piece of paper, and use your paintbrush to dab a bit onto the splodges.





Then use the paintbrush to apply little flecks, using the other brighter pinks.



Use your paintbrush again, to create little leaves with the green polish. Add dots around the cloud shapes using your dotting tool. Apply a top coat and you're done!



Hope you enjoyed this tutorial! x

Nails - Cath Kidston inspired accent.

The lovely Fiona reminded me that I wanted to try these nails out. I love Cath Kidston, but it's not the cheapest of places to shop - so I guess having it on my nails satisfies my need a little! Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to do the design on all my nails, so I chose to do one accent nail - on my 'ring' finger as usual.




I used Models Own Raspberry Crush, and used my Topshop nail art pen for the 'blobby' bits. I used Models Own again for the flowers - Pastel Pink, Sophie's Pink, Raspberry Crush and Jade Stone - applied using a fine paintbrush. I finished with dots using L.A. Colors French White.

So happy it's the weekend! I finished work nice and early today as it was my half day. I went into town for a Starbucks cheese & marmite panini [my favourite] and cool lime refresha, and a spot of shopping. Bought my bestie her birthday presents and two pairs of boots for myself, as I couldn't decide on which colour!

What are your plans for the weekend? I'm looking forward to going out for a meal at our favourite Indian tomorrow evening :)
