Graphic Lines nail art

Hi, I feel like I haven't blogged in ages and that's because I, like many others around the world have been making the most of this glorious weather! But I promise I am back now, I have a couple more posts lined up after this so that should tide me over until I change my nails :). 

You know how the best designs are the ones you didn't want to create initially? Well that is what happened today. I set myself an ambitious 5 different pattern design but it went completely wrong and then I got a new idea from the wreckage and I love it! I love instagram as there are so great nail artists showcased on there and my absolute favourite is astrowifey (type that into instagram to find her) she does amazing work and I urge you to check her out if you want to see some serious mini artworks! Anyway this mani is inspired by her :)

As usual I freehanded the lines with my nail art pen (you can probably tell on my pinkie!). The pink is one of the unknown color clubs, green is Kiko 345 Jade Green and yellow is Unicorn by Sinful Colors (from the wonderful Katee) I really like this yellow it's nice and soft and only takes two coats to reach opacity :). All three colours took two coats for opacity. 
Like I said earlier I really like these designs, they're quite simple and it's something different for me too and I think they look good ;). My favourites are the middle and index fingers. 

I should be getting some nail mail tomorrow :D only small but good! 

Seeyou all tomorrow!

Going Bananas with Kiko!

Hey, I removed my paisley yesterday as I had a bit of growth at the base and that was it, no tipwear and no chips! Awesome lol. My bf has been asking me to do banana nails for a few weeks now so I obliged last night.I should know by now that painting nails at night is not a good idea, it always goes wrong! And it certainly did :( painting was fine, here's Kiko Canary Yellow, 2 coats.
 It's rather bright, not a neon but certainly bright! I liked it so then the bad stuff happened....I originally did bananas from the base of my nail but then I tried with some on the tip and prefered it that way so cos it was late and I was feeling lazy I just removed the black and then did a quick coat of yellow over the half removed bananas, so basically my nails felt lumpy and you could see some black still under the yellow :( well here are the finished nanaaarrrs ;) 


Not that bad I guess but not what I hoped for either, bananas are weirdly difficult to draw lol. 


Ooh I got a bargain today, everytime I go into Debenhams (which is a lot) I always pick up the same things and put them down again, and one of those was Dosh from Butter London, I was drawn to the green despite my bad previous experience with the brand but I could never justify the £12 price. Today I went in and Dosh was half price! It was the only one that had money off!! Can you believe it? :D what luck hehe


I hope you enjoyed my bananas :)
