Hey guys! Today I bring you my first experience with nail stamping, and let me tell you it's actually harder than it looks! The observant among you may have noticed that this is my right hand, that is because I have tragically broken a nail on my left hand and it is really not very presentable. The good thing about stamping is that both hands turn out roughly the same, so if any of you are as rubbish at painting your non-dominant hand as I am, I suggest giving stamping a go!

Mermaid Scales Tutorial
Hey guys, I'm back with another scale mani, this time mermaid scales! I kind of cheated and used nail stencils from whatsupnails.com, but I have done a handpainted version before - you can see it here (I think this is a big improvement!). These stencils were so easy to work with and make nail art so much easier and quicker. Another benefit of using stencils is that my right hand looks just as good as my left hand, which NEVER happens with a handpainted design. So without further ado, here's my tutorial for how to get this look for yourself :)

Game of Thrones Dragon Scale Nail Art
Hey guys! There's only TWO MORE DAYS until Game of Thrones returns and I thought I'd mark the occasion with these GoT inspired nails. I am Team Dany all the way so of course I went with a dragon scale design. I am holding this cool little dragon egg in the pic that I made myself out of nail polish and thumbtacks - if you guys would like to know more about making those then let me know and maybe I'll do a DIY post. As always, read on for my tutorial to see how to get these nails for yourself :)

Easter Nail Art: Chicks and Eggs
Hey guys! Today I have this cute little chick and egg design, just in time for Easter. Believe it or not, I have never worn yellow nail polish before now, but this cheap yellow Art Deco polish I picked up at a makeup clearance does the job well enough, though I don't think I'll be pulling it out again anytime soon! Read on for my tutorial on how to get this Easter look for yourself :)
