Sunshine And Polka Dots

Once again, sorry for a few days delay in posting! I've been really lazy lately.

Andrea Fulerton (not sure of the name)

I did this from a photo I saw on Tumblr a few days before. Unfortunately, I'm not sure of the blog and I've lost the original picture altogether, so I'm sorry about that!

This was actually pretty easy to do in the end and I think the only design I was hesitant about trying was the one on my little finger, but that surprisingly turned out fine too.

Also, ignore my nail that is a lot shorter than the others. It's taking a while to grow back :(

Before doing this design, I forgot to buy a new white polish, so when it came to doing the polka dots the polish was very thick and difficult to work with as there was hardly any left. The final result was okay, I guess, but just slightly uneven. 

Black tape mani!

Hi! These photos are from, like, a week ago, but I only just remembered they're on my laptop. So, yeah. Enjoy!

I had no idea what to do on my nails last week, I just decided to go for something simple. I'm fairly happy with how the accent nail turned out, seeing as my tape mani's don't usually turn out perfectly neat. I know this isn't perfectly neat, but still.

Once I had finished, I noticed you could see the tip of my nail slightly on my ring finger. But oh well! It's not that terrible.

Splatter nails!

Hi again! Once again, I got pretty bored of my previous nail design pretty quickly; mainly because of how I smudged the design slightly.

OPI - Call Me Gwen-Ever

I'm actually pleased with how they turned out! It was my first attempt at a splatter design and I found it surprisingly easy! At first I struggled to decide which colours I should use, seeing as I've never been good at figuring out which colours look good together and which don't. But in the end I settled for the above :) 

Also, instead of using a normal top-coat on this, I went for a matte coat instead.

To do this design, I just used a normal drinking straw which I then cut in half. I found using this tutorial very useful. I managed to clean up around my nails as best as I could, even though there had been tape surrounding them to avoid any major clean up. I mainly had to clean up any polish that had flooded my cuticles or had just slipped over the edge of the tape. 

I'll definitely be trying this again soon with different colours!
