Rose Gold Striped Nail Art

Hi everyone! Today I have some beautiful girly nail art to share with you. This time I did a rose gold striped nail design using 2 coats of Essie - Penny Talk and China Glaze - White on White for the lines. I really love metallics, especially this colour but it does not last very well (and you can see if your nails are peeling/uneven), but alas I did it anyway because it's totally worth it! I hope you like this design.

Triangle Tesselation Geometry Nails

Hi guys! I hope you are all well. Today I wanted to share with you some super cool geometric nails I did a few weeks back. I used 2 coats of China Glaze - White on White as my base then used all Kester Black colours for the rest, sealing it off with 1 coat of Glisten & Glow HK Topcoat. I hope you like these as much as I loved doing them!

Double Triangle Nail Art

Hi guys! Today I have some simple nail art to share with you. I felt like doing something geometric for the weekend so I landed on this design! Super simple and easy but looks really cool too! I used 2 coats of Chanel - 623 Mirabella and then freehanded the triangles using Model Co - Oh My Goodness Greycious, followed by 1 coat of Glisten & Glow HK Topcoat. I hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the warmer weather (finally!).

 

Spring Floral Mani (+ Tutorial)

Hi guys! I hope you are doing well. Today I want to share with you some really pretty nail art inspired by a tissue box I bought recently. I love when you can find inspiration even in the daftest home items! I decided to do a mini pictorial in case you'd like to recreate this design. I used 2 coats of Kester Black - Acid for the base colour, China Glaze - White on White for the rose base and Liquid Leather for the black fern design. I then used Kester Black - Forget Me Not and Prenup for the rose outlines. I hope you like this design and find some inspiration from it! Have a great week ahead.

Shellac Nail Art

Hi everyone! I hope you are well. Can you believe it's already the 13th of December!? December always comes and goes so quickly. Christmas will be over in a blink of an eye and the new year will be within us sooner than we'd thought! Today I have some shellac nail art to show you. I used, of course, true Shellac by CND and my designs were all done freehand by myself. This is the first time I've done nail art using Shellac and I really love the random mish-mash of designs. Let's see how long I can wear these for (I reckon i'll only last about a week). Let me know if you've tried doing shellac nail art? It is very easy to do - easier than using regular polish I find!

Camille Walala x Gorman Inspired Nail Art

Hi guys! I hope you are having a great weekend. Today I want to share with you some nail art I did last weekend inspired by an Australian illustrator who collaborated with Gorman clothing. I initially saw this print on the pencil skirt. You should definitely check the collection out - it's amazing! I used all Kester Black colours and free handed it all. I hope you like them as much as I loved doing them!

 

Subtle Halloween Bones Nail Art

Hi guys! Today I have some Halloween-y type nail art to share with you! This wasn't intended to look like bones but I guess it does in a way! It's a very simple look to achieve - all I used was a dotting tool to do random shapes! I used 2 coats of OPI - Black Onyx and used OPI - Alpine Snow for the white. It would of looked really cool with a matte topcoat too! Hope you are all having a great week so far!

OPI - Venice Floral Nail Art

Hi guys! Sorry it's been so long - a lot has happened. I moved to London! I'm settling in nicely (although missing the heat terribly) and thought i'd share with you some nail art I did before I left Australia using 6 colours from the new OPI Venice collection. The base colour was 2 coats of OPI - My Gondola Or Yours, and then I used all the colours swatched in this post. Followed by 1 coat of Glisten & Glow. I hope you like this nail art and i'll see you all soon!

It's been a few weeks since my last blog post and I'm sorry! I've moved back to the Gold Coast from Brisbane for my last few weeks in Australia.. Yep, I'm jetting off to live in London! I'm excited, yet nervous and hope I settle in nicely at a cool nail bar somewhere! I have a quick post to share with you - some cool wavy nail art I did a few months ago. All colours used are Kester Black with my Glisten & Glow topcoat. I got so many compliments on this manicure! I need to recreate this in different colours soon!

Trippy Blurred Lines Nail Art

Hey everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. Today I wanted to show you some nail art I did last week using 3 colours (all Kester Black colours). This look was extremely easy to do but looked really cool in the end! All I used was a thin striper brush over a clear nail and did very messy lines of dark blue,then light blue and then the pink. The colours blended into each other slightly and added some extra dimension. I finished it off with 1 coat of SV.

Australia Day Nails!

It's a long but fun day! I wanted to show you the nails I had for the occasion yesterday. I used the same technique Sarah over at chalkboardnails.com used for the Side swept look.

I finished it with 2 dots of Kester Black - Starflower on each nail, followed by 1 coat of G&G topcoat. Let me know what you think! Thanks for reading.

Geometric Skittle Nail Art

Hey everyone! I have a really quick post to show you. I did these geometric skittle nails about 4 months ago, before my business began. I am so surprised that since starting my own nail art business how much better I have become at nail art. This manicure is special to me because it represents the beginning of my new career, and happiness. I wore this manicure on a very important business trip to Melbourne and remember the weekend very clearly. All was done freehand using Kester Black and Orly colours.

Tropical Gradient X

Hey everyone! I hope you had a really nice weekend! My boyfriend and  I celebrated our 6 year anniversary together at a beautiful one chef's hat restaurant! I was so spoilt with a gorgeous Micheal Kors handbag and i'm so in love with it! Anyway! Today I am showing you some nail art I did a few weeks ago. I did a simple gradient using all colours by Kester Black; Dragonfruit, Bougainvillea, Parrot and Laguna followed by 1 coat of G&G. Once dried I used my white Barry M Nail Art Pen to draw the lines. I stuffed up the pointer finger by doing the lines too thick but all in all I was really happy with these nails - they looked so striking in real life! What do you think of this nail art? Thanks for reading!

Orange & Blue Dotticure

Hey everyone! Today I have another quick post for you. I was doing nail art one night and didn't really know what I was going for when I did these but once I had finished it really reminded me of something from the casino or playing cards! I used striping tape on clear nails and painted the triangles with OPI - Black Onyx and ELES - Casanova Red. I finished it off with 1 coat of G&G. Do you like this manicure?
