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

Mix&Match.A.S.Nails

Happy Wednesday everyone!
I hope you're all having a great week so far!

Today i have done a bit of everything. A bit of a mix and match of nails. For all of these i used Barry M, Essie, Models Own and Tantrum. Quite a few brands there! Mix and Matching is great fun and sometimes they don't even have to match. They can be as random as you like which i think is great as my colour coordination is a bit rubbish!

We would love to see all of your mix and match so tweet it to us @cute_as_nails

Have a lovely day guys!

Fruit.A.S.nails

Fruit salad anyone!!

These are inspired by my 4 year old niece Olivia, again!! She said she thought I should draw fruit on my nails next...so I did!

If you want to get your 5 a day too, here's what brands I used...
The pineapple on my thumb is Barry M's - Lemon and Gold for the crisscross pattern, and Rio nail art pen in Green.
Then I have the insides of an apple, watermelon, orange and kiwi on my other nails. I used Rio again for the White, Black, Red and Green details on all of these. The orange is Barry M - Peach Melba and the Pink of the watermelon is Rimmel.

I did the same on my right hand which is the second picture below. It turned out a bit messier but fruit is messy! And sticky!

Hope these brighten your morning.
Have a fruity Tuesday!!

Candyspots.A.S.nails

These are a bit 'children's T.V presenter' today but I love them - and they really didn't take as long as they look like they would.
I find spots the easiest nail art to do so experimenting with these candy colours was fun!! They remind me of sweets! And I used Barry M's great range for every colour!!
On my other hand I had to concentrate more. But because there is so much colour going on each nail it doesn't matter too much about getting that perfect sized dot each time.

Hope you enjoy this burst of crazy pastel colour and have a great evening!

Silver points.A.S.nails

Helloooooo readers! I hope you're having a good week so far.

Today I have done some pretty simple Black Matte and Silver Points/Triangles (not really sure what to call them).

These are great for day and night. Especially as the new trend is slightly gothic grunge.

To do them I simply painted my nails with 'save the nail' base coat (my nails were getting a bit yellow and this stuff has really helped, its amazing) and then used Barry M Black as my main colour. Once dried I topped it off with Rimmel Pro Matte Finish to give it that fantastic Matte look. Once completely dried I used some tape to create a triangle which I placed on my nails. I then painted on Barry M Silver Foil Effects to create the final product!

I hope you like them and can't wait to see some of your creations!

Have a wonderful day!
