Ombre Mer-mani Tutorial


Hey guys! I'm back with a nail design that I absolutely adore, and I know I've done mermaid designs in the past but I think this is my best one yet! I used mermaid scale nail vinyls from whatsupnails.com and the pattern came out perfectly, so I highly recommend their products. I'm also really pleased with the colour scheme of this mani because I used a few polishes I hadn't worn in a long time and fell in love with them all over again. If you'd like to see how to get this look for yourself, read my step-by-step tutorial below :)

Hello everyone! Sorry for my lack of posts recently, I'd like to say I've had other things to do but I really haven't, I've just been in that lazy holiday mood. Today I bring you this bright tropical sunset gradient that makes me wish I was on a tropical island myself! If you'd like to know how I did it, read my tutorial below :)

Snowflake Gradient Tutorial


It's beginning to look a lot like...CHRISTMAS! Even though we don't have a winter Christmas here in New Zealand, it was fun to channel my inner Elsa with this gorgeous blue gradient and snowflake design. I know there's less than three weeks to go, but I promise I will have some more Christmas designs up for you soon! For now, read my tutorial below to see how to get this mani for yourself :)

Hey guys! Today I have a cutepolish-inspired design to show you that I actually did before a couple of years back, and gosh I'm glad I have improved!

Ombre Stamping Tutorial


Hey guys! I'm back with this totally gorgeous ombre stamping design, but I just wish the gold had shown up better against the white! Sometimes things just don't turn out as well in practice as I think they will in my head...maybe next time I'll use more contrasting colours. Try out a different colour combo for yourself and let me know how you go! As always, read on for my tutorial :)

Studded Grey Gradient Tutorial


Hey guys! This week I was playing around with my OPI Fifty Shades of Grey polishes and came up with this cool gradient/ombre (does anyone actually know the difference??) I didn't quite manage to get fifty shades of grey onto each nail, so I had to make do with three. Read on for my tutorial to see how to get this look for yourself :)

Ombre Chevron Tutorial


Hey guys! I'm back with another awesome nail tutorial for you all; ombre chevrons! This mani was done using chevron nail vinyls from nailvinyls.com, which I found to be super easy to use and super cheap and easy to get your hands on. There are loads of different sizes and shapes to choose from and shipping to New Zealand was less than $5, so I highly recommend you check them out!  Read on to find out how to get this look for yourself!

Ocean Ombre Tutorial


Hey guys, as promised I have some nail art to share with you today! Given the rubbish weather we've been having lately here in Auckland, I thought I'd lighten the mood with these ocean-inspired ombre nails as a little taste of summer! I bought these cute little seashell charms from bornprettystore and I reckon they are the perfect addition to this mani :)

Liquid Sand Gradient Tutorial


Hello again! Some might consider posting twice a day a little excessive but hey, I've got nothing better to do and if you're reading this than neither do you. Yes, I am not holding a bottle in this photo, but I did this a little while ago before I started taking proper posed photos so this is all I got. I did this quick gradient with two OPI Liquid Sand polishes and it turned out really sparkly and Elsa-ish, so they work as a Frozen mani too if that's what you're after. All you need for this look is two polishes and a small sponge!

Ombre Butterfly Nails Tutorial

I LOVE these nails! I saw this version on @sloteazzy's instagram and I just had to try it myself. I've tried butterfly nails before but that was a while ago, and I think these turned out a billion times better :) For this mani you'll need two shades of the same colour, a black, white and glitter polish, as well as a makeup sponge, nail art brush and dotting 
tool.
