Hello all!

Again its been a while, I'm gunna try and post once a week and get back up and running with painting my nails and blog posts.

This is another manicure I did a few weeks ago. I had never used striping tape before and I waited pretty much all summer for it to arrive from its long journey from hong kong, but I was pretty impressed when i got it.

So I decided to do a slightly different manicure to a chevron design and to be honest I think it was slightly easier, the polish layers where alot thinner as I used a sponge rather than painting on a layer.





















Its supposed to be gradient, the lighter purple doesn't really show but overall it turned out great!


Let me know what you think and whats your favourite tape mani designs?

Floral Nail Art

Summer has been and gone quick! How depressing, my winter coat is in full use now.
I haven't been able to blog in a while again which is annoying. Getting back into routines at work which then ended up ruining my cuticles so I haven't even painted my nails much!

This post is a manicure I did during the summer and its one of those designs ill probably do again. When I'm having a nail art block I tend to always do a floral design, but I really like the colours I used used for the roses. Once again the base colour I used was Essie's Neo Whimsical. I just cant get over how much a love this colour!






















It was such a lovely day I figured why not take some pictures outside for once and found flowers that matched my nails!

Hope you enjoyed this post, more nails will be up soon!
