CityParis.A.S.nails

Morning!

So, today I have city number 2 in our countdown of the top cities in the world to visit!! Paris!

Late last year I did some Paris nails to get me all excited and looking forward to my trip away for my birthday, but today's are a little different.
I have tried to focus on the top things you want from you're city break...sight seeing, shopping & food (& drink!)

I've used Barry M's Strawberry Ice-cream for the main base colour, then using black and white nail paint & a nail art brush I added my detail. This includes a cupcake (which I imagine to be sat in the window of a gorgeous little Patisserie in Paris!), a Chanel design beaded necklace (because who doesn't love to shop on holiday!), a pink stripe & lace ring finger nail (French lace/beautiful lingerie inspired!) and finally, of course the most famous and visited landmark in Paris, the Eiffel Tower.

If this design has given you itchy feet and you're looking for the perfect city break to Paris we have some links you should check out below.

Does anybody have any recommendations or tips on where to go when visiting the French capital? How about any great salons or nail bars in Paris?

BeachScene.A.S.nails

Almost the weekend Yey!

So last week I did some holiday nails and to carry on from them I have more holiday inspired nails - a beach scene across them.
Now there is quite a bit going on but then beaches are busy places and there's always something to see on a busy beach - sometimes things you don't want to see! Haha

From thumb to pinky I've drawn:
A lady sunbathing. A sun umbrella and boat in the distance. A boat and 2 boys playing volley ball. A lady flying a kite and finally, a swimmer.

I used Barry M for every colour on this design except for the black and white, they are Rio nail art pens.

Have a lovely week!!
I'm on the way to the airport as I write but Sophie will still be posting some of her great nails so keep on viewing :)

We are also entering a competition with Travel Supermarket. Here is the link if you want to enter too! http://www.travelsupermarket.com/c/holidays/beauty-and-the-beach/ 

Holiday.A.S.nails

Ok, ok I know most of you would have had your summer holidays by now but I'm just getting excited about mine as I'm off to sunny Cyprus next week and I can't wait!! And my excitement is showing on my nails today as well!

They follow on nicely from Sophie's mix and match design from yesterday as these are holiday mix and match!

Today I have a polka dot bikini, a yummy ice cream, some sunglasses and a beach ball on my finger nails. All with a back ground colour of Barry M - Peach Melba. On my thumb I have a Sex on the Beach cocktail on a background of Essie in white.

These are bright, random and include everything I love about holidays :)

Happy Thursday everyone x

Beach huts.A.S.nails

My greatest childhood holiday memory has always been when my family and family friends (there were 10 of us altogether, 4 adults and 6 children) all stayed in a very very small beach hut for the whole summer! Being England it obviously rained a lot but we always managed to have fun by making rivers in the sand for the water to flow down and painting stones (this could be when I found my slight artistic flare) which we then tried selling to all the visitors.

Anyway, here are some beach hut nails in memory of my fantastic childhood holiday! For the sky I used Barry M blueberry (I seem to like this colour) and all the detailing with Models Own and Tantrum nail art pens. I also topped off the yellow tips with Rimmel Pro Matte Finish to make them stand out a bit.

On my other hand I painted them all blueberry with yellow tips apart from my ring finger which i added some white stripes instead of tips. You can do anything on this hand however i don't have a very steady left hand so it would look quite dreadful if i tried to do a lot of detail!

What is your favourite childhood memory? Maybe you could paint your nails to fit it like me! Please send any nail art to cute.as.nails1@gmail.com for your chance to be nails of the week!!!
