Nail Trail

any excuse to buy more nail polish !
So I did this mani today for the nail art competition at Rebecca Likes Nails, a nail blog I have been addicted to and which inspired me to do nail art and create a blog ! Rebecca is obsessed with anything with bows, Hello Kitty, animal print and of course her favourite colour purple, and so I decided to do a skittle mani with many of her favourite things. I used her awesome tutorial for gradients to have my first go at gradient nails, and I think it turned out pretty well !

So this is the other polish I purchased from Pretty & Polished’s Etsy store a couple of weeks back. I think I prefered Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang but it was a great polish to wear nonetheless !

Hey guys ! So this is a polish called Chelsea Chelsea Bling Bling, by Pretty & Polished which I purchased from her Etsy shop ! It’s a bright pink jelly base with loads of different coloured and sized glitter ! I couldn’t stop staring at my hands when I had this on, and the sunshine really brought it out to it’s full potential ! I love this polish !

Sarah at Chalkboard Nails, one of my favourite nail blogs ever, is hosting a nail art competition with just one rule : the only utensil you can use is a dotting tool (cocktail sticks and bobby pins were also authorised) ! It wasn’t as easy as you’d think when you have so many different utensils you could use, but I managed and am really proud of the outcome !

So I found a tutorial I saw by The Sugar Cube whilst surfing the web the other day and so decided I’d give it a try ! I didn’t use two different shades of red but what the hey, I think it turned out pretty good ! :) Here’s a link to the tutorial I used for this design !

So again another very classic mani : crackle ! Now I know plently of you are absolutely over and done with the whole crackle phase in the nail art world, but I just can’t myself from going straight for my crackle polish collection when I’m in need of a quick and simple mani.

So I thought I’d start with something traditional and relatively simple in the nail art world : the classic leopard-print mani !

Introduction

Helloooo Tumblr !

My name’s Sarah, I’m 18 years old, British but live in France and I’m obsessed (literally obsessed) with nail polish ! I started doing nail art during Summer 2010 and have since then accumulated quite a large collection of polishes, so as a result of this over-active wallet, I have decided to create a blog to showcase my nail creations !

… enjoy !
