Evening all :)
Now, while I am not known for my steady hand, I gave up biting my nails years ago, and have finally managed to grow something that don't resemble horrendous claws. Result of this = my first tentative attemot at nail art. This is by no means a masterclass, but I thought I would share my attempts with you! Enjoy :)

| Cupcake Nails! |
These adorable cupcake nails are from a tutorial by MissGlamorazzi on Youtube, who I am a huuuge fan of! For my pastel colours, left to right I used 308 Berry, 304 Mint Green, 309 Strawberry, 317 Blue Moon and 318 Peach Melba all by Barry M. To create the 'frosting' I used Topshop Nails in White. For the cherry, I used a reeeeeally old bottle of burgundy polish, so old that it no longer has a name... But any sort of red will do :)

| Wonky Panda Faces... |
Another pretty ridiculous, 'just for fun' nail look, the tiny panda faces. This was inspired by my obvious love for pandas, and several Youtube videos which I combined ideas from.
To do this, I used my Barry M base and topcoat all over all of my nails, then painted all but my two 'accent nails' with Barry M 309 Strawberry.
Continuing with the Strawberry, on my accent nails, I painted the tips pink, leaving the rest of the nail clear.
I then used my Topshop polish in White to pant two shapes which can only be described as 'cornerless triangles', with the top flat edge of each triange meeting the end of the pink tip on each nail.
I added the little black details with my Barry M polish NP47 - Black, and a cocktail stick! (should possibly invest in some fancier nail art tools, can anybody recommend any?)
Then just go over it all with topcoat and you're done :)

| Galaxy Nails - Hipster or What? |
Now I'm in two minds about these, I do love the way they look, but can't seem to achieve the obvious 'galaxy' look that ther beauty gurus seem to manage, I feel like I need to explain to people what they're supposed to be?
Regardless, I like them so I'm going to tell you how to do them, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
After basecoat, apply two coats (or as many as you need for opaque colour) of black nail varnish, I used Barry M's NP47-Black.
On top of this, I sponged a light blue polish over one half of my nail, and a baby pink polish onto the other half using a ripped off corner of a make-up sponge.Make sure the black is still visible, or the effect won't be so night-skyish.
I then sponged a lilac thinly on the join between the two colours.
After letting these colours dry, I used a thin layer of my current favourite glitter nail polish (Barry M's 340-Aqua Glitter)which gave a really beautiful starry effect.
Finish with your favourite topcoat and you're done :)
Would love to know if you like this nail art post, I SUPPOSE I could do another one :P
Big Love to you all :)
