Feather Nails

Hey! So there's two reasons for this design. One: I had an Aboriginal Studies Test today and I thought it would give me a boost of luck. Two: There's a contest on Instagram and the theme is nature. I instantly thought of feathers when I saw nature so yeah. I might do something else though, I still have time to decide.

Colours used (excluding base & top coat): Sally Hanson Hard As Nails - "White Tip". ICING - "Posh Princess". O.P.I - "Black Onyx".

Jpop: Kyary Pamu Pamu " Ponponpon"

Here's a new addition to my blog: Jpop designs!
I've been wanting to do Jpop designs too but the videos that I've seen don't seem to stand out as much to me. I don't know why but Kpop just seems to have more focal points in videos whereas Jpop seems to have more stories and dance scenes (which is not bad at all). So when I found this video a couple of months ago I knew this would be the inspiration for my first Jpop nails.
Colours used (excluding base & top coats): Revlon - "Impulsive". Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - "Blue Me Away", "Bubble Gum", "Plum Power", "Marine Scene". Sally Hanson Insta-Dry - "Silver Sweep". Sally Hanson Hard As Nails - "White Tip". Nicole by O.P.I - "One Voice". O.P.I - "Fly". ICING - "Burning Sunset". Rimmel Lasting Finish - "English Rose". Loreal - "Mango-Get-Em". Sally Hanson Nail Art Pen - "Black". ( I know, it doesn't look like a lot of colours)

Inspiration:
Warning! Very weird video! Those who are too normal may want to look away.
Try and find the inspiration for each nail!

Dotted Tips

Okay so I didn't have a lot of time to do a design but I really didn't want to be walking around with St. Patrick's Day nails for very long. I found this design online but originally it was just on the tips and there was only a silver line at the end. I ddin't feel like doing tips so I chose to paint my entire nail silver.
Colours used (excluding base & top) : Sally Hanson Insta-dry - "Silver Sweep".  O.P.I. - "Black Onyx." Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - "White On", "Fuchsia Power".

Spring Roses

So my sister decided to come over for a visit and I thought it would be a great idea to do our nails! She told me I could do any design so I chose this rose design with a yellow base because it was classy yet perfect for spring.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Even though I'm not big on this holiday I wanted to do a themed design anyways. I thought it would be simple and easy because I'm only keeping them on for today then I'm doing another design tomorrow.

Kpop: Miss A "Touch"

Guess what today's design is! That's right, it's Miss A's "Touch". I tried SO hard to get a design from the actual video but I only got a clear shot of one (the ring finger: Fei). Unfortunately the pinky didn't show through enough (it's supposed to be a rose). I'm really happy with my index and middle. This is the first time that I have been able to make a lace design that doesn't suck.
Colours used (excluding base & top coats): Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - "White On". ICING - "Burning Sunset", "Weekend Rendevous". Revlon - "Gold Coin". O.P.I. - "Black Onyx". Maybelline Salon Expert - "Cherry Sin".

Paintballing!

Guess where I went last night :) That's right, paintballing! My friend had a birthday party at the paintball arena and so I HAD to take the opportunity to do a paint splatter/paintball design. You can't see in the picture too well but I actually put some darker spots at the top of each splatter so that it looked like pieces of a paintball shell.
Colours used (excluding base & top coats): Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear: "White On", "Emerald City", "Going Green", "Blue It". ICING: "Burning Sunset", "Lucky 7". Nicole by O.P.I: "One Voice". Maybelline Salon Expert: "Cherry Sin".

The Phantom of the Opera

Well, my class planned a trip to a local theater to see "The Phantom of the Opera" and I decided to theme my nails. Sorry that the ring finger on the first hand is kind of dark, it dried darker that the bottle.
