These nails be Tipsy!

Hi!
So following on from yesterday's post about the nails I have created for the second issue of Tipsy Zine :) I finished them today so I thought I'd show you!
First the boring normal shots

L-R clockwise: Mermaid Camo with black stud, Ripped fishnet tights over blue and purple saran wrap, black tape over blue and purple saran wrap, bundled chain with brushstrokes and in the middle my favourite tartan with chain. 
I couldn't just leave them there before posting them to America so I bluetacked them to my nails and gave them the abbienail photographic treatment ;)

I hope these make it into the magazine as I really love them now! I wasn't so sure about the index aka fishnet at first but even if you can't tell that that's what it is it can kind of pass as a scaley look :)
I'm excited to see what the talented nail artists have produced, I still can't believe that they ask me to contribute, MPnails, Astrowifey, ClaraH, Amvinails, Haus of Lacquer, Britney Tokyo and more all are featured and to see my name/ work alongside those is amazing!

I hope you like them!!

Tipsy nails in progress

Tipsy in both name and nature ;). I got asked to contribute again and so I am making some nails for the theme of Seapunk! It's an exciting theme I think and is bang on trend as usual, I drew inspiration from this Christopher Kane SS13 dress, it's the perfect mix of feminine with a punk twist. It appeared in UK Elle and I loe everything about this image...studs, mesh boots!! lace, leather gaaaaah perfection.

So I have gone for classic punk patterns in mermaid colours, these nails are a work in progress but I thought you might like to how I'm getting on, a little sneak peak ;).
The green is a lot softer in real life! But the tartan is my favourite followed by the tape nail :) embellishments are still to come and I need to paint the last two nails.

So what do you think?

Camo on camo et Tipsyzine!!

Hey, I know I keep saying this everytime but thank you for sticking with me! And woohoo to 150 followers! I cant promise that my posting will get more even as deadlines are coming up :( so I have less and less time to do my nails never mind blog! I feel so bad though cos I should have posted this agessss ago...I've been up to Lincoln since thursday to visit an old friend and only got back yesterday, it was fun but the journey back was soooo long. Anyway I didn't have time to post before I went, I've only just removed this nail art, that means I've had it on for an entire week!!

I noticed that a couple of people had been looking for camo nail art so I thought I shall re do them as my skills have improved ;). The thing about camo nails is that they are redonkulously easy. I didn't even use a base colour, just did it straight onto mty base coat...how cheeky of me ;). I used Barry M Gold Foil and Black, Models Own Purple Poppy and China glaze Westside Warrior and a dotting tool.
 


Some of you may know of Astrowifey (my love for her is eternal) and her new project of making a magazine dedicated to nail art well I sent off some false nails in summer which unfortunately didn't make the cut however when I opened it I saw my nails as one of the 7 instagram nail people to follow!!! OMG I was so shocked as I was not told of this, it was such a nice surprise though!
 

Look it's my nails!!! @abbienail is my instagram btw ;)
So cooooooool, I posted a picture of this onto my facebook and got 40 likes on it!!
Tipsyzine is pretty awesome, I even got a poster that is proudly hung on my noticeboard featuring nails by Haus of Lacquer :). I think Tipsy is still available to buy from tipsyzine.com so if you are interested in nail art then defintely check it out!
