Christmas Nail Art: Candycane Watermarble Tutorial


Hello again! This is my last Christmas design, I promise, but I just got my hands on a new bottle of white polish and thought I'd try out this candycane watermarble, inspired by @mucking_fusser on Instagram. This is probably my most successful watermarble to date, but I've still got some work to do, as you can see on my failure of a ring finger...But like anything, practice makes perfect, so don't give up before you've even started! With that in mind, check out my tutorial below to see how to get this sweet look for yourself :)

Christmas Nail Art: Santa + Presents Tutorial


Hey everyone! I have yet another Christmas design for you all, but something much simpler today. This red and white present design is super easy, and I think the little Santa is just oh-so-cute! I'm not 100% happy with the execution of this mani, but I blame my white polish which is well overdue for a replacement! As always, read on for my tutorial!

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 :)

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 :)

Ladybird Nails Tutorial


Hello, Spring! This season is all about the birds and the bees, or in this case ladybirds/ladybugs (Which is it? Is there a difference between a ladybird and a ladybug? We'll never know.) This design is super simple and super cute, so as usual read on for the tutorial :)

Nail Studs - Which Is Your Favourite?


Hey guys! Recently I got my hands on some nail studs from bornprettystore and I've been experimenting with them for the past few weeks, and these four designs are the results! Rather than giving you guys four individual tutorials (they're pretty straight forward and they'd be pretty repetitive) I thought I'd present each design and give you some general tips and tricks I discovered in the process. Enjoy!
