Nails - Pastel Galaxy

These nails were kinda inspired by the evening sky on Monday - so pretty. I've previously done a galaxy nail art tutorial - these were done using a similar technique, only with pastel colours!

All colours used are Models Own. I used Utopia for the base coat, then sponged on Apple Pie, Peach Sherbet and Blooboo before applying a topcoat. I then applied some white stars/dots using a cocktail stick. And then to finish, another slick of topcoat.

Happy Friday everyone :)

Nails - Tiny Hearts

Just a quick NOTD! The weather is so dull so I thought I'd brighten things up a bit with some lovely spring colours. The only hint of Spring I'm seeing at the moment...

Models Own Peach Sherbet and essie Absolutely shore. Perfect pastels! I created the teeny tiny hearts using Models Own Black Magic and a cocktail stick.

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Nails - Spring leopard print

An oldie but a goodie. Leopard print nails. I just love this nail colour combo - baby blue, soft mint green and peach. It has me dreaming of Spring, which I am so looking forward to. I love pastel colours and, to be honest, I've had enough of the cold [and the rain for that matter]!

I used Models Own Blooboo as a base, then made leopard spots using Models Own Peach Sherbet and essie Absolutely Shore, along with my Models Own nail art pen. And I couldn't resist a cat on my ring finger. I've blogged about these amazing nail art stickers a couple of times before, but you can find them here.

Hope you're all enjoying a lovely relaxed Sunday. We went to a friend's housewarming last night - woke up with a sore head this morning, but luckily I feel fine now! We were going to go to the cinema but have written that off in favour of bed. Need to save the pennies anyway - finally booked our holiday to Malta yesterday!
