Handmade Nails

Spring Stripes

• Essence ‘111 English Rose’

• Barry M ‘66 Matt White’

• Essence ‘138 L.O.L.’

I did not realise I owned a polish named ‘L.O.L’ until just typing out that last bit there….

P.S. I have started playing guitar again so it’ll be my wonky right-hand nails that get all the photo glory from here on in.

Some very last minute Patrick’s Day nails.

I teamed this with some green eyeshadow, which really brought out the grey in my face.

- Essence ‘Walk on the Wild Side’

Heart Nails

Some daisy nails for Valentine’s…

I do traditional red/burgundy nails so much that I avoided them today for something a bit fresher. I also just bought a dotting tool so was itching to try it out… :)

This coral/orange colour with gold flecks reminded me of a cocktail/Wham’s Club Tropicana video. So I decided to glue a load of ridiculous tiny fruits all over the accent nails.

Nude Nails with White Dots

- Can’t remember the base colour

- Inglot White Nail Art Pen

- Essence Matte Top Coat

Had zero plan while doing these, just went with a natural sort of speckled design. The dotting part of the nail art pen also ended up being really clogged. Hence I suffered severe handcramps attempting to squeeze out the polish, resulting in dodgy non-sensical nails.

New Years Tuxedo Nails

My piss poor quality top coat caused the black to streak loads, so I’ve uploaded a slightly out of focus photo to play it down…
