Cath Kidson Nails

As with many of my designs I got the idea for this one from The Nailasurus's blog (http://www.thenailasaurus.com/2013/09/cath-kidston-provence-rose-nail-art.html) I just loved the finish on this and how intricate it looked when it actually isn't too hard or take too long to do!



I started with a base of Barry M Blue, then once dry applied the Barry M white for the background of the flowers using a large dotting tool. The pinks were two from my extensive collection that are unbranded, I applied the lighter first, then the darker on top not in any particular pattern with a white splodge in the middle finishing it off. Using the smallest dotting tool I applied the green for the leaves. The hardest part was getting the dots around the edge consistent, take care when doing this! But as you can see mine aren't perfect, and I still got lots of compliments on them so it can't have been that bad! Finish it all off with a lovely top coat and you're ready to go!

Multi-coloured flowers

Hello nail art lovers! 

Another design created when glamping! Some multi-coloured flowers!

Started with some Barry M Lycée as my base, a favourite here at the nailsketeers, then used some other colours to do the petals and then did the black dots in the middle with the Barry M nail art pen. I think they turned out quite well, and they were a hit with Alison who is wearing them, who doesn't usually paint her nails! Have we got a convert!? 

Hope you liked it! The inspiration for this did come from another nail art blog, but it was so long ago I have forgotten which one!! Sorry if it is your design, get in contact and I will link to the original if it is!

Thanks!
