Nails: Santa Hats

Something really simple today, would have been so much better if it wasn't for the top coat (Leighton Denny Crystal Finish) smudging it!

Halloween Nail Challenge: Blood / Gore

So I have tried doing blood splatter nails before last year, I didn't do them in 2011 as I was a bit busy with my Hen Night, but I first attempted them back in 2010, hopefully I have improved although this is stamping so cheating a little.

Nerd Nail Challenge: Harry Potter

This it the last challenge for the Nerd Nail Challenge and if you have been following I have been having problems with doing some of the challenges because I haven't seen the shows or films the nails are based around. Today it is the turn of Harry Potter, I have actually watched all of the movies, although it isn't something which I particularly enjoyed. Anyhow on with the nails!

31 Day Challenge: New Technique

This is a new technique to me, it was done using a fan brush. A little bit messy but it seemed to blend the three colours quite well. I am sure with practice this could look so much better.

Halloween Nail Challenge: Blood Splatter

Blood splatter / gore was the challenge over on Nail Tart's today. I did hope this would have turned out better, I ended up having to tweek the colours to get the blood looking more blood like rather than jam. 

Bloody enough?

Base Polish: Sally Hansen - Lavender Cloud

Stamping Polish: Eyeko - Saucy
Stamping Plates: Bundle Monster 202 + 301

I also used some fake blood

Tutorial: Great British Flag

This tutorial is quite rushed as I am in a hurry to get this post out there before the Jubilee weekend.

1) After using a base coat paint all nails in a blue polish, I used Models Own - True Blue

2) Try and paint a cross on top of the blue using a white polish, I used Barry M's - Matte White

3) Using the same polish drag some diagonal lines in the gaps of the previous cross

4) Most complicated part, paint a fine line down the diagonal cross lines. I used Eyeko - Saucy

5) With the same polish paint another cross over the larger one in the middle. Once that is dried paint on a top coat to help smooth out the polish from being a little bumpy. Tidy up any mishaps and you are done!
