First Cloud Mani, in my pyjamas!

So I tweeted last night that I might try a cloud mani, and then woke up at about 8am this morning and couldn't wait! I couldn't decide on a single colour theme, so I went with the bright blue and pink with sparkly silver in between. The pink is a little more pink than it comes across in these photos too.

If I was going to attempt this one again, I'd make sure I chose a more opaque colour for the final colour - there are two coats of pink here and you can still see a little bit of the sparkle underneath if you look closely.

Anyway, now that's sorted, I may actually shower and get dressed! And wake up my other half, lazy moo...

Polish Days: Sentimental = Bunnies!

This is my first Polish Days post, and for ages I was wondering what on earth I could do with the topic Sentimental. I've only been nail blogging for about a month, so there isn't a great deal to get sentimental about there.

Thankfully my other half reminded me that our house is filled with cuddly rabbits, which I collected as a child, so that fit the bill nicely.

Here's looking at you

I suddenly had this random idea that I wanted to put fake eyelashes on my nails for some reason, so I came up with this decidedly creepy manicure. It did look pretty spectacular, and obviously more 3D than I can really get across in the image! I'll take you through the steps to create this one.

Always greener on the other side?

In my very first tutorial, I'll be explaining how to create beautiful 3D grassy nails. This one is actually really simple, and I was surprised by how long lasting it was - the grass is properly stuck on, even after washing my hands! It's done with the grass that you can get from modelling and craft stores, (mine is from Games Workshop - shh).
