Experimenting with balls

With the nail dotter I had gotten for my birthday (thanks FANTASTIC 5) I felt like trying out different dotty patterns I could do with it.

Have a golden base coat and dotted a dark green onto. I also tried out the free cookies and cream caviar manicure from Marie Claire on my ring fingers. Cheers Marie Claire!


Quite a straightforward and quick design to do on holiday, but looked a bit random :)

Return of dots & entry of nail caviar

Dots, dots, dots. They're a very good fall back option when you're out of ideas and can be varied in both layout and colours, essentially giving you an unlimited number of designs. The first picture below is a combination I've used before but this time in a more stamp-like pattern. I failed completely at taking a picture of the full design, so I only had this one with my (now broken) iPod.


This second design is a bit more elaborate. I was given quite a bit of nail caviar for my birthday but I've been a little sceptic to how long it will last (especially given my current training schedule). On the the other hand, since I now had so much of it I figured I should give it a try. I couldn't find a colour from my collection which matched the caviar perfectly, so opted for three shades of blue. Luckily, the dark blue has aged enough that it's not as runny as fresh polishes are, meaning that I was able to make some smaller dots with it.


I have yet to see how long this caviar lasts, if it's good enough I may start using it more often.

Cupcakes and sprinkles ^_^

Charlotte arranged a kick ass tea party which I thought required some cute cupcake nails. I used a nude pink colour as the base and painted on little cupcakes on all the digits except the ring finger. 
                                 
                       

For the ring finger I used a gold base coat and then covered it in nail caviar beads which really reminded me of cupcake sprinkles. Each cupcake was topped with a sequin and then the middle thumb and thumb were further decorated with a sprinkle of nail caviar beads.




Only downer of this design is that they made me the munchies...

Nail art designs at the tea party

Check out the ' "Bow ties are cool" - Dr Who ' post to see Charlottes nails (far right hand in image above) which she did for the tea party. Also see the ' Hyde Park Relays & Daleks ' post to see the Dalek nails we did on Helen (middle hand in image above).
