Nail Art...

Here we go... as promised!

So these are my jubilee nails. Out of date by a couple of months and looking a bit scruffy but as my first ever attempt at nail art I was pretty pleased! The blue and white used are from Topshop (£5 each) but the red was just a nail varnish I managed to find at the back of my shelf... I don't even think it had a brand!


These are from when I went to New York at the end of June/beginning of July. I'd just bought the green colour and the black nail pen from Topshop (linked below) the day before so I was excited to use them! Also, New York/Big Apple.. see what I did there? ;)
Nail Pen: Topshop £6.50


Obviously these aren't from my artistic hand... It's crackle nails! But I thought I'd show you guys anyway, as when I was considering buying the polish I couldn't find any great pictures as examples. I got the black as it's the most versatile, and it's so easy to use! It's quite like oil paint when it goes on, and you kind of have to use it in stripes but be quick; it dries in seconds!
Black Crackle Nail Polish- £6
Last but not least... My pacman nails! This is by no means an original design, and are a product of me having a lazy day in bed, searching nail art on google ;) I found the pacman design and thought I'd try it for size... I think it turned out pretty well! The orange and yellow I used are 'La Femme Beauty' nail varnishes. I have no idea where they're from or how much but they're good quality! The black and blue are Topshop and the black pen is the same as before. As for the other colours... they are mystery 'back-of-the-shelf' colours! I'm sure any would do.

So there we go! I'll probably do another update soon as I love nail art, but that's all for now!!
