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!

Artsy Wednesday - Blue Nails

Enter my international giveaway to win 1 of 4 nail polish bundle packs!

Hello everyone! It's another Artsy Wednesday and today's theme is BLUE! I decided on a geometric look with 2 different blue colours. First I painted all my nails with Kester Black - Buttercream (reviewed here) and I waited for that to completely dry. Then I hand painted on China Glaze - Too Yacht To Handle (review coming soon!) and Kester Black - Forget Me Not (reviewed here) I topped it all off with 1 coat of SV. Then I felt like using some of the gorgeous diamontes I bought off ebay so I got some nail glue and applied duochrome blue diamontes at the cuticle! (P.s using nail glue makes them stay on so much better then just using a top coat!) This looks so pretty I wish I could capture it better!

Half Marathon Nails + Photos!

 Enter my international giveaway to win 1 of 4 nail polish bundle packs!

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been a while since my last post! I've been busy preparing myself for the Gold Coast half marathon and now that it's finished I can show you the nails I was sporting and a few before and after shots at the marathon!! I really love running and feel so great when I do it and this being my 2nd half marathon I improved immensely (by 11 minutes to be exact) and I can't wait to do it again next year and do even better!

The nails I chose to wear were inspired by pshiiit. I love this look so so sooo much and knew I wanted to replicate it! It's so awesome and abstract and really unique! I did this nail art a different (and longer way to pshiiit, which I didn't realise until later was going to take me longer.. woops!) I painted all my nails with OPI - Alpine Snow* and used 1 coat of SV to quickly dry it. Then I sponged on a gradient using all Essie polishes (Naughty Nautical, Where's My Chauffer and Bikini So Teeny), then 1 coat of SV. I then applied tape down in a triangle and filled in the space with OPI - Alpine Snow* then topped it with 1 coat off SV. For the thumbs and accent nails I used Orly - Liquid Vinyl* and a thin striper brush to outline the triangles.

Before the Marathon - at 5:30am - Pitch Black!

Me 20m from the finish line - WOO!!

After finishing the marathon! With our medals! YAY!

Thanks for reading everyone and I hope you enjoyed this post!! See you again soon.
