Sunday star Nails

A quickie tonight. Why I added the tips I still don't know :/ My free handing is so shaky! My poor thumb suffered a mishap today too.

The stars are from my bargain from poundworld, ELF black and Wet n Wild xplode orange

Disaster *sigh*

I thought about not posting these. I've seen chevron designs everywhere and in the nail guide pack that I got were some Chevron tips and being a smartarse l decided to place one on some tape to make my own.

Using xplode orange and denim chrome I painted above and below the tape. The disaster was that I hadn't thought about the width of the tape. So I just filled in some more denim and finished with spots using my nail art pen.

The denim chrome is a bit difficult to clean AS it stains quickly. Thank goodness l wear base or it'll be much worse.

In fairness with more patience this could be good. Maybe I'll give it another go at the weekend with a bit more planning.

Monday nails

I bought a fimo wheel about 2 months ago and I just haven't known what to do with it.

So today I was potching with the my case ( I must blog about it soon) looking for a file and it caught my eye and thought just go for it.

Here's the results.

I used NYC's pastel orange...not sure I like it as its very thin and takes a lot of building to give good coverage. The tips are a neon nail art pen I got in an ebay bundle with a coat of ELF's white underneath to make the colour pop. Again I don't use these enough either. The jewels were also from ebay.

Overall the design is ok, maybe I shouldn't have "tipped" it.

I do like the fimo and am excited to get more, which is lucky since I'm waiting for a parcel from lightinthebox.com. I stumbled across their site while looking for konad plates and got a great deal. When my haul arrives I'll be sure to blog it.
