N A I L S
Sorry I haven't blogged in nearly a month! It's so bad but I've been really busy with art deadlines and English coursework and haven't had the time to relax and blog for a bit. I hadn't painted my nails since my previous blog, I think that's a record, so here are my nails for you, inspired by the wah nails which is the first image, and then my recreation of it, my nails had grown and decided to do borderline point/ round, nail shape and I'm thinking of cutting them as soon as so I can get to wear some funky acrylics for the half term, which is next week! Woohoo! But I will defo be uploading and ootd everyday for the half term as I'm going away with family, and will be heading to London, not for lfw unfortunately but will hopefully see a few famous peeps ;)

I love versace, and especially their new collaboration with lady gaga which i am so excited about! I love their versus collection, but nothing compares to their sophisticated legendary Medusa, Grecian themed clothing. I decided to do some nail art as i haven't done it in so long, and i thought to myself 'YOLO'. Go for designer nails at the non- designer price! So here are my Versace inspired nails, which I literally did now, so fresh off the press! i posted a picture on my instagram (you can find more nail art/fashion photos there). I love monochrome on my nails, and nothing compares to the sophistication of a white base with black detailing! Ive seen this Grecian border on clothing in misguided which i LOVE! so very on trend too ;)
I just used my white collection 2000 nail polish along with my models own black nail art pen! Hope you like them, and send me some of your creations or ideas!
The Versace lettering was created by first starting of with all nails painted two coats of white nailpolish. Then with the striper end of the nail art pen i did two stripes going vertically allowing a white centre, enough to write versace in block capital letters, which was created using the pin point part of the nail art pen, which allows precision and flow....
This white base with black border was inspired by the House Of Holland fake nails, (available here) which i need to get my hands on asap! the border was easy to do, just a white base and then using the black striper i did the border in four parts, bottom, left, top,right. You can either make it square or rounded, depending on the angle of the corners...
Apologies for it being so out of focus they were taken on my 5s which is proving difficult when wanting close up shots. Anyways.. this was probably the trickiest as it needed a lot of precision and accuracy, and the baby that i am, i practiced before hand on a scrap piece of paper, better to be safe than sorry ;) so after a few practices i just thought i would give it a go, i first, like the thumb, created two stripes, leaving a white center, however i didn't fill it in so left it as two lines. This gave me a general outline, keeping the nail art straight. A few mistakes were made - the thickness differed throughout, so i just got my white nail art pen and went over it, however this is just me being fussy!
And lastly my pinky finger which was highly simple yet effective, using my nail art pen i went just a bit more than half way, painted a line and filled it in upwards...
And here is the final look!

MWAH XOXO

Hey guys i'm sorry for not posting in a while, been a little busy, but am sure to get back into my routine!
It was my prom yesterday, my last one, very emotional aha.
I was very last minute and like always rely on river island to always have the perfect outfit and they did!
It was a crop turtle neck top along with a split maxi. Black with gold glitter. Even though I malted glitter everywhere I went, I got so many compliments!
Unlike everyone else I decided to do my own hair, very risky but so worth it. Just a simple gel and hairspray and voila I worked the whole sleek quiff hair do inspired by kim kardashian. I'll leave links to my outfit!
Mwah xxxx
