Geek alert! #dayofthedoctor

So for those of you who know... it is a very special day today! #dayofthedoctor! These aren't the neatest nails ever. But as I am a massive doctor who geek I just had to do these and I wanted to share them with you all.

The base colour is rimmel pro in 313 cocktail passion which I love using because of the shape of the brush and how quickly it drys.

To do the doctor who shapes I used my dotting tools and rimmel pro 431 stormy skies. Then the gold detailing with collection hot looks shimmy shake and a dotting tool once the shape was dry.

I added a bit of blue to the tardis shape on my middle finger and decided to go for purple detailing so it stood out. Then I outlined it with my barry m nail art pen to define the shape.

I'm sure I will do some more doctor who nails at some point and hopefully they will be neater and more planned out. If you have any ideas for other simple shapes I could do then let me know!!

Lots of geek love,
Abbi. Xx

Hunger Games Nails

The Hunger Games number 2 film is coming out and I am SOOOO excited! I absolutely LOVED the first film and will be going to see this one ASAP! I am SO excited that I just HAD to do some nails in tribute (eh, Tribute, eh!) to the woman herself, the Girl on Fire. 



Once again - gone for the accent nails, one of the mockingjay, above (Quite a difficult one to do on such a small canvas) and then of the flames below. 


Obviously topped it all off with a matte top coat - our fav Essie - Matte About You, and we are done!

Materials for the Mockingjay - Barry M limited edition gold from a few years ago, and then a few pound shop glitters for the fire nail!

Any other huge Hunger Games Fans out there?

For this movie they are releasing a Capitol Makeup Range which will include nail varnish and nail decals - SO excited!!!!

Here is the Trailer for your viewing enjoyment! And if you haven't watched (or read) the first one - DO IT NOW!!!!
