Easter Chickens

This design isn't exactly new. I've seen a lot of people with the cliche cracked egg and little chick poking out. However I think this design makes a lot more sense on my little round nails. After all most the eggs I've seen are roundish in shape and not square...duh!

Mosaic Hearts

Ok, so it was my aim to keep up a theme of pink and red polishes until Feb 14th. Today's nail art fails that completely. However it does still keep in the theme of Valentine's Day with a funky heart, so I think it's forgivable. So introducing my Valentine's Day mosaic hearts.

Love Birds

I'm the kind of person who skips the basics and goes straight to the harder things, well at least when it comes to stamping. I really haven't had much practice when it comes to stamped nails, but I really wanted to use my chevron stamp pattern and do gradient stamping, so this is the result! Oh plus added love birds because of this months theme.

China Glaze Simple Stripe

In the past few days I have learned some very important lessons in what NOT to do when it comes to nail art. The main lesson being always, always, ALWAYS replace the lid on whatever your working with. So far, this week, I have managed to spill a litre bottle of acetone all over my desk and floor, get nail polish on my favourite pants and, on top of all that, drop an entire jar of nail studs all over the floor. I'm really in a brilliantly clumsy mood. I've also had numerous nail fails, but finally have something to show you, so here you go.

Christmas Sweater Nail Art

I want an ugly Christmas jumper especially after seeing a lot of cool Christmas sweater nail art on instagram! Unfortunately Christmas in Australia is a tad too hot to be wearing jumpers so I won't have a chance to wear one this year. Anyway, here is my version of Christmas sweater nail art.

Freckles Nail Art

Not really sure what to call this nail art. It kind of reminds me of donuts but that wasn't intentional. I did these with no plan and they kind of came out pretty cool.

Nautical Chevron's

I don't think I've ever done a nautical themed nail art before. That's rather remiss of me so after receiving some cool nautical themed water decals from the born pretty store, I decided to rectify the issue.

Go Nuts for Donuts! Nail Art

The only type of donuts I actually like are jam donuts. However the other day I saw some epic nails with the base mattified and the top left glossy to give the donuts a glazed look. So I decided to forgo my love of jam donuts and create a crazy glazed donut pattern.

80s wallpaper dotticure

Dots. Why are dots so difficult? Why aren’t the dots the same size even though I’m using the same tool? Clearly it’s a skill I need to work on but here is my hopeless attempt at a dotticure.

#31DC2014 - Day 26 - Inspired by a Pattern

Ah my nails accidentally grew shorter! Or I may have had to cut them all off because I'm not so good at DIY involving sharp objects.. Anyway, I like short nails and so it's kind of whatever to me. On these new short nails I had to try to catch up on the 31 day challenge, so here is day 27 - Inspired by a Pattern.

#31DC2014 - Day 13 - Animal Print

Today, I'm giving animal print the bird. Not that type of bird. Just an epic amount of little tiny birdies painted on my nails to make a literal animal print. 

#31DC2014 - Day 10 - Gradient

Today's challenge was gradient nails. I've been wanting to try a scaled gradient as inspired by Simply Nailogical, for a while, so I thought today's prompt would be a great chance to try this design.

#31DC2014 - Day 7 - Black and White

Wow, I've managed to make it through a week of a challenge. That's pretty amazing but the prompts so far have been fairly easy. This week they get a little more complex so hopefully I can still keep up. 

Today, for day number 7, the prompt was black and white nails. I had grand plans to do a houndstooth pattern but it didn't work so ended up with some random glitter placement nails...again.

#31DC2014 - Day 3 - Yellow

Day 3 of #31DC2014, so far so good. I'd like to thank my mum for coming up with the idea of painting Woodstock from the Snoopy comics as an accent nail, it turned out awkward but cute!
