Halloween Nails #2: Blood Splatter Tutorial


Hi guys! As promised, today I have a second Halloween nail design for you all. I've seen this blood splatter look done by many people with a straw, but I tried that and failed miserably so this is my water-spotted version! If you've read my turquoise stone tutorial, this is pretty much the same process, but otherwise read on for my tutorial :)

Halloween Nails #1: Skull Nails Tutorial


Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting last week, but I'm making up for it now by giving you not one but TWO Halloween designs (the second one will up next week!) This skull design was pretty much directly taken from simplenailartdesigns' YouTube video, so all credit to her! Read on for my tutorial :)

Striped Gradient Tutorial


Hey guys! I am in LOVE with my nails at the moment, they are just so bright and shiny and kinda trippy! This layered striped gradient can be achieved with any colour combination, but I chose blue because that's the colour I have the most shades in (fun fact for you there). The coolest thing about this design is that from a distance it looks like you have really shiny nails, but it's actually a kind of an illusion created by the different shades of stripes. Just to clarify, I did not come up with this design, but I've seen so many versions of it on instagram by a bunch of different people that I have no idea who came up with it originally, so big thumbs up to whoever that is! Read on for my tutorial :)

White/Gold Striping Tape Mani Tutorial


Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been slightly overwhelmed with boring old uni stuff lately, but I did manage to get this pretty and simple design up. I LOVE the white and gold combo, and the accent nail design would look just as fab on all your nails if you had the time or the patience for it. All you need for this design is a white polish, a gold polish, scissors and striping tape (which you can get really cheaply from Trademe, ebay, or bornprettystore) As always, read on for a quick tutorial :)
