Brown and Black Stamped Tips

I saw a similar example of this nail art on Pintrest a while ago, however I cannot for the life of me find it to show you... Anyway, I particularly liked this idea as I think brown is a great autumnal shade and the stamping looks very feminine...

I also tried to be a bit more creative with the top picture and I'm pretty impressed with how it turned out although it took me A LOT of pictures to get right. The brown I used is Rimmel 'At Ease' and as always I used MUA 'Black' for the stamping. I topped the look off with Seche Vite. The stamping plate I used was BM-214

Black Print and Tips on Neutral Nails

Here I've done some classy black stamping with black tips on a neutral brown colour.

I used the very neutral No7 ‘So Simple’ varnish. The tips and pattern are MUA ‘Shade 2′ and the stamping plate is Bundle Monster BM-224.

I topped it off with a couple of coats of Seche Vite. A couple of the tips aren't perhaps as straight as they could be, which I'm sure I’ll improve on with practice, overall though I'm quite pleased…

Golden Rose Nail Art

Today I've tried some gold ‘rose print’ nails. Although there is a bit of smudging on some of the prints, it looks quite ‘vintage’:

The colours I used were Rimmel ‘At Ease’ (520) for the base. I then used the ‘saran-wrap‘ method from ‘Nailed It‘ from to dot some No7 ‘Golden Pearl’ over the top. Now, I've got to give credit where credit’s due (with the link) but I'm going to have to call it ‘cling-film’ going forwards, I'm British after all!

The stamping was done with Bundle Monster plate 323 and MUA ‘Shade 2′ It’s a really pretty design!

Feather Nail Art!

I’ve seen a few examples of feather nails recently, and I think that done well, they are absolutely beautiful. My favourite example so far has been on Chloe’s nails.

I ended up using nail foil glue, which worked great. The link I’ve included is to the brand I have and, although it’s the only one I’ve used, I think it works well. The only thing to remember is that it takes a bit of time to become ‘tacky’. I leave it for around 6-8 minutes, too soon or too late and it won’t stick well… The brown colour, as pictured, is No7 ‘Beanie’ and underneath the feather I used No7 ‘So Simple’.

And the feathers? I’ve been planning on a trip to a craft store soon, but I actually picked this up at Poundland (you’ll soon come to realise my love of this shop). They were actually part of a feather ‘hair clip’ set, but they’ve done the job pretty well I think!

It looks much better in black and white I think. I made the mistake of using too much top coat, in too thick layers, so it’s got those air trapped bubbles at the end, which are more obvious in the colour image.
