Winter.A.S.nails

Using Barry M's hi shine Gelly nail paint in Blueberry I've created a wintery nail art design. On my ring finger I've used, again, Barry M's rose quartz glitter. Then I used a white and nail art pen for some chilly falling snowflakes and a bare twiggy tree with snow on the branches. I've got a silver nail pen by Kiss that I used for a bit of extra sparkle and to make the snow look a bit more twinkly. I hope we get a bit of snow soon. I'm loving the frost on the roof tops in the mornings! It's raining in Winchester as I write this. Boo :(


I hope you like these wintery Christmas nails!!

Floral.A.S.nails

The weekend is so close...this week has gone a little too slow for my liking but today I have some bright and cheery nails!! Yey!

And these floral nails are easy peasy!!

Simply chose your base colour...I chose Barry M - Lemon.
'Blob' (technical term!) on the colour you want your flowers to be...I chose Barry M - Fushia. These blobs can be any size and shape which is what makes these so great but keep to about 3 per nail.
Next, using green, draw on your leaves. (I used Rio nail art pens in dark green).
Finally, using a contrasting colour, carefully draw the detail in your flower - I chose Kiss nail paint in Lilac.

And there you have it...

I would definitely recommend trying this simple design and we'd love to see what colours you come up with.

Have a lovely weekend everyone :)

Button.A.S.nails

Carrying on the theme from yesterday and Sophie's super cute pastel tashes, I have some cute A.S a button nails for you today!!

My friend came up with this button, needle and thread nail idea! I did her nails for her last night but I told her she had to help me come up with an idea for my nails for today!

I thought it was a great idea and they were simple to do!!
I used Barry M in bubblegum pink first and then Rio and Models Own nail art pens for all the detail. Including Kiss nail paint for the sparkly silver needle!
For the buttons I painted the round spots of colour. When they had dried I painted another ring of the same colour carefully around the edge of the button to create a raised edge like they have!

I haven't seen many like this so we would love to see your button ideas too! Has anyone stuck real buttons onto their nails...

Have a great day :)

Medals.A.S.nails

We did it!! Our first gold medals yesterday!! So today we have another nail art design in honour of our Great British team.
We decided to make it an Olympic week for our nails!

The base colour is Essie. It's a pearly white which I love! I use it so much.
On the thumb I attempted the 2012 logo...so hopefully you can see what it is!
And on my two middle fingers I have the two gold medals using Barry M's GOLD!!
For the rest of the detail I have used Rio, Kiss and Models Own pens.

I didn't do exactly the same design on my right hand because it would have been really, really hard.
So I mixed it up by doing the things I find a bit easier. Trying to do the 2012 logo with my non-writing hand would have been a bad idea!

Have a lovely day.

And GO team GB for more medals today!!

Kites.A.S.nails

'Let's go fly a kite....!!'

Today I've done a kite scene design that, we decided, follows on very nicely from Sophie's boat scene nails from yesterday! And they both have the little birds in the sky too, which we love!
I have some gel extensions on so these were a bit easier to do as I have a bit more nail to work with!

If you wanted to give it a try too I used: Chanel - Riva blue, Rio - white & black nail pens and Kiss nail art paint in pink & purple

Enjoy these! And your (hopefully rain-free) day!!

P.S we seem to like the thought of flying...
