Day 3

Yellow Nails!



Rimmel (I ♥ Lasting Finish) - 280 Sunshine


So I used this yellow for the base coat, which I'm not sure I'd recommend. I don't want to insult rimmel, but it was very streaky, this was 4 quite thick coats. Maybe if you have the patience to do more thin coats then go for it or if you love the colour that much but I think finding another yellow may be a better idea!



I was really excited to do these and they aren't very good :(
I'm quite annoyed!

I had half an hour to do them because I needed to get ready to go gym and
needed a bit of time for them to dry, so they were really rushed!

I wanted something summery, since it was yellow it was always going to be summery, but I chose the brightest yellow possible and added watermelon - what could BE more summery!?
I really don't like having yellow nail varnish either so that's probably another reason why I'm disappointed - I think these will come off straight away!


Opinions!?

Day 2

Orange Nails!

Unlike yesterday I'm really pleased with how these came out!


So, for my orange nails I couldn't think of anything that had orange as the background then I saw this bag! & I just thought... PERFECT! Orangeeee!
I used Topshop's 'Plume' as the base, which is two-tone navy and purple, and I love it! Even though it's pretty impossible to photograph as being two-tone, it's either one or the other! 
I think they're quite summery as well, which is great as today was actually sunny for once, which never happens here in rainy old England!
I can't tell you what the orange is called but it's from a nail art set from Topshop that I got for Christmas and can't find on the website any more! :-) 

 





Sonny wanted to be in my pictures too probably because he's orange ;) but he kept getting in the way and purring. I know it might look a bit funny but he's still happy as larry with my hands on his face!



& here's a cute picture of my guiney-pig, Rabbit. He's only got one eye and he's the cutest thing in the world! He's my brother's really but I want him.

Hope you like!

Day 1

Red Nails

Barry M, Gelly Nail Effects - Blood Orange

I didn't really know what to do or where to start with the idea of red nails, I was gonna do strawberries because they're cute but I've seen so many strawberry nails recently and I didn't think mine could match up! I might attempt later...
These were inspired by someone else's nails that I found - as I was so stuck I thought it was acceptable for the first day - which you can see here!

I'm not a massive fan of them, even though they were so easy! but they were really hard to photograph because my camera was playing up - I think they looked better in real life!

Hope you like :) !!

I already run a blog on Tumblr (thenailphile) so you can take a look there for some of my old designs,
I'm also going to be starting this challenge soon - although not on a daily basis but still the 31 challenges!

Keep your eyes peeled!

+follow on tumblr if you're not already :-)
So, here we go..
Attempting #1 at using blogspot.

So far, it's not going too well. 
I don't understand any of it,
& I don't understand why I have a weird kind of purple beach scene in the background.

HELP!
