Notd- Cath Kidston style Freehand Nail Art request.

the finished result

Nail of the day was requested by my friend @charleymarley she loves Cath Kidston so when I saw some nail art inspired by  Cath Kidson on all lacquered up,  I had to send her a picture. So then she asked me to do them on her nails. Now I love a challenge so I got out my Nail trainer and gave it a go. I think they have come out really well and I am very proud of them. I used Orlys instant artist acrylic paints and they were easy to work with.

If anyone has any other requests then let me know and I will give it a go, if I can :) 

NOTD - Gelicure - Black with silver glitter & Freehand Nail art.

My Notd is a all out glitz fest! I started of with just a plain black Gelicure mani and I only a day before I had to jazz it up! So I added the silver glitter chunks and sealed with Nubars UV topcoat. The I painted on pink flowers with Orly's instant artist nail paints and highlighted them with white shading and white dots. I then added pink ribbon detailing to my middle finger and simple dots to my ring finger.

On my thumb I went a little mad and used big black gems with a single silver gem.  Now as you can see by the picture, it looks pretty cool, but got on my nerves after about 2 mins! So I had to take it off. So at the moment they are just plain black, so I think I will put some silver crackle glaze on them.  

What nail art are you wearing today?

NOTD - Nubar Gelicure Blue Hydrangea with glitter

Nail of the day is Blue Hydrangea Gelicure  with glitter nail art. As you may have notice this colour is becoming one of my favorites.  Decided a splash of glitter was needed to make this mani extra special. So I applied the gelicure in the usual way and added Nubar Jewels dust in Electric Magenta to one corner applied the UV topcoat and cured. Then I added glitter slices in sky blue and applied the topcoat.
The overall effect is very pretty but its very fiddly and I think layering the glitter can make the nail a little too thick。
