Off the Chain - nails

Chain nails - inspired by all the chain/scarf print shirts out at the moment!

Pastel Half Moons

I didn't like the thought of going to work with plain nails, but with little time and the need for sleep I went for these bright/pastel half moons! With a mix up on the ring finger..

And because they're brighter than normal i got more comments than usual!

London Skyline

 A selection of London monuments and buildings.. I love the idea of landscape nail arts, there are thousands of possibilities to explore with this theme! May New York next? Or UK landmarks?

Flutter by Butterfly

Back to School

My gran went back to school after the Easter holidays with some maths inspired nails! I hope they went down well with her class!

It's party time!

A selection of nails from my sisters birthday party:

Heidi's pick n mix nails!

 

Barbara got herself some nail art!

 

 Little Jess' Converse nails!

Kat Slater's nails

I share one thing in common with Kat Slater from Eastenders and that's our LOVE of leopard print! (Well that and a soft spot for Alfie Moon!) Here's some nails inspired by her:

Mothers Day

My little sister Heidi got her nails done for Mothers day!

Summer Tribal

I've just had my birthday and my wonderful flatmates bought me the newly released limited edition COOK MAC nail polishes. They've released 3 shades, Acid green, Aqua and Coral.
Thought I'd test them out with a tribal pattern!

OffTheNail, OffTheNail, OffTheNail, Off the nail, Off the nail

They're quite watery so you need to double the coats up which isn't ideal for this design. They'd make an ideal base coat for your nail art though. I'll be using these brights alot in the summer! Acid Green twister lolly perhaps?

Let me know what you think!

Gold Leaf Tribal

Gold leaf was everywhere at London Fashion Week this year, in the hair of TopShop models and on the mens Nails for Astrid Anderson!

So, I thought it was about time I got on board and had a go myself!

Here's my first attempt. I laid gold leaf down as an undercoat (using clear nail strengthener to stick it down) and then painted over the top with black acrylic paint before sealing everything in with a top coat of Seche Vite.

Off the nail, Off the nail, Off the nail, off the nail, off the nail, off the nail, off the nail, off the nail

Now its your turn! 

Nude Aztec

Wanted something a little more classic for work! :
