MatteLeopard.A.S.nails

Good evening everyone!

We hope you're looking forward to seeing our Cities around the world nail art that Sophie & I are currently working on! We can't wait to show you.

But in the mean time...I have these leopard print beauties to show.

This look is everywhere at the moment. Matte with a contrasting colour/material.
Whether its a black top with a velvet floral print over the top, red trousers with a black velvet leopard print over the top (I'm thinking of some Zara ones in particular!) or matte black nails with a shiny black over the top, like mine.
And as Valentine's Day is just around the corner (eek...!) I thought I'd add these cute pale pink heart shapes to the thumb.
I got them from sparklynails.co.uk and just used a nail glue to stick them down.

The black coat on my nails is actually Shellac - BlackPool that I've had on since last week but I've added a coat of Rimmel London's LYCRA Pro Matte Finish to them. I love it because you can literally see it drying and turning matte!
For the leopard print pattern I firstly tried using my usual black nail paint but it just didn't show up enough on the matte black so I used my thin nail art brush (also from sparklynails) to dip into Barry M's clear top coat bottle and that worked against it much better, as you can see.

Have any of you got any great tips for using matte finish polishes? What about your leopard print designs with a twist?
We would love to hear and see.

AliceInWonderland.A.S.Nails

Hello everyone! Sorry for the late post, I've had a busy busy day!

Today we have some nails in honour of my partner in crime (Alice) - Alice in Wonderland nails!!

From thumb to pinky we have; The Rabbits ears and pocket watch with 'Im late' , Alice's blue dress and head bow, The Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat and a little 'drink me' bottle.

For these I used Models Own 'snow white' for most of the base colours and their nail art pens for the detail. For the Cheshire Cat I used Barry M Berry ice cream.

I hope Alice likes these :D and I hope you all like them too! Are there any fairy tales you have painted? Tweet it to us!!

Enjoy your evening lovely readers!

Love.Hate.A.S.nails

What a windy day!!! Take my advice and don't wear a hat...

Todays nails are a creative version of Love and Hate, consisting of hearts and skulls.

Alice did do some love and hate Scrabble nails but decided they didn't look quite right so this lovely contrasting nail design was the end result! And i LOVE it.

When i think of Love and Hate, marmite always springs to mind....
