Nails - AA Violet Panache

This is my first American Apparel nail polish. I rarely venture into the store/browse the online store as I find it so overpriced. But my friend dragged me in there whilst in Covent Garden on Saturday. I naturally found myself at the nail polishes and decided I needed this lovely, vibrant colour in my ever-growing nail polish stash!




I only needed to apply two coats, although it did take a while to dry. But the colour makes up for it! I very rarely have nails without some sort of nail art/pattern, so drew on a 'woven' design using my silver barry m nail art pen - such an easy design, found in the new WAH book! My copy arrived last week and I love it as much as the first one.

I hope everyone has had a nice bank holiday weekend. My hightlight was going to see Les Misérables on Saturday evening. AMAZING. What's been your highlight of the weekend?

Nails - this n' that.

These nails were done last night, before I went to my boyfriend's for the evening. I couldn't decide what to do so went for a bit of a mix!

I used Models Own Indian Ocean as the base and created the designs using my Models Own Wah nail art pen. Stripes, leopard print, bow, drippy and polka dots :)




What's everyone up to this bank holiday weekend? I've been shopping today! Had planned to get bits for my holiday, and I did, but ended up coming home with a couple of other bits. Didn't actually buy/spend as much as I thought I would though!

Have a lovely one. x

The WAH Nails Book of Nail Art

Absolutely love this beautiful book. The tutorials are simple and easy to follow and the book is full of great ideas. It also gives you tips to help you care for your nails. Looks great on my bedside table, too!

I tried out a few of the designs on my nail wheel.


L-R - camouflage, lips, roses, bow & stained glass.

Has anyone else got hold of this book? What do you think?

Nails - Easter bunnies

Happy Easter everyone! I just wanted to share my Easter themed nails with you - bunnies!




For these nails I used Models Own Utopia, Peach Sherbet & Jade Stone and Barry M Bright Pink & Berry for the basecoats. I used L.A. Colors French White to create the little bunny heads, then my black Models Own wah nail art pen for the eyes and my pink and white topshop nail art pens for the ears. I really like them! So cute!

I'm off to catch up on last night's BGT and Take Me Out... enjoy your day everyone!

Nails - Basketcase

As soon as I found out about the WAH nails book of nail art I pre-ordered it, and I absolutely love it. I'm planning to do a post on it soon, but here's the first design which I tried with help from the book.



I used L.A. Colors in Vibrant Violet for the base coat, then used the brush on my black Models Own wah nail art pen for the stripes. I like them, but am going to take it all off soon and do something Easter-y!

I hope you're all enjoying the long weekend. I went shopping with my friend today, got a couple of nice little buys and got given a free £5 giftcard in h&m which was a bonus! Easter tomorrow. I've been on a health kick, but I think I'll allow myself a day off! Hope everyone else enjoys the chocolate and family time.

Nails - Aztec

I got the inspiration for these nails from the skirt in this post. Never done Aztec nails before and I don't think they look too bad for a first try!



I used my favourite nail polish, Models Own Utopia, for the base then created the Aztec pattern using my Topshop nail art pens.



I hope you're enjoying your weekend! Mine has been pretty relaxed so far. Made some mini egg rocky road this morning - have been ordered to make more - and popped into town to get my bridesmaid shoes, which I love. My friend is popping over later for me to do her nails, so I've got to get my big collection of nail polishes out for her to choose what she wants done! Speaking of nail polish/nail art - has anyone seen this? It looks great, have pre-ordered my copy!
