I know it's been a while again but things have been a bit hectic so here's another huge update. I'm not going to list what I used again this time because I'm too lazy right now, lol, but if there is a product you want to know about ask and I'll see if I can remember it! So, on with the show.

I watched Spirited Away a few days ago and as always cooed and awed when the soot sprites appeared. They're so darn adorable! It's not the best photo for colour representation but the sun has been cheeky these last few days so please forgive me.


What I used: Mode Cosmetics in VIP, Mode Cosmetics in Pearl, Models Prefer in Minty Fresh, Models Prefer in Pink Tart, Sportsgirl in Lace, Eyeko Pastel Polish (blue), nail art stripers in white and pale yellow, Beautiful Nails BO14 (black)

I'm okay with how they turned out, I'm pretty sure I'll be trying Soot Sprites again so I think I'll try another technique with making them look fluffy.

Anywho, thanks for looking! Have an awesome day :)

I know, it's been far too long. I've been procrastinating and trying to get a-hold of life again. Things are good once more which is pretty awesome. I don't want to fill up your time with a lot of my personal rubbish so I'm just going to get straight on with it. I've got a bunch of designs to share with you over my absence, unfortunately I don't really remember what I used for each design so if there is something you really want to know just ask and I'll do my best to remember/figure it out.

Without further ado I share the random designs;

Kawaii Skulls 


Follow the jump for the rest!

Tonight I did some nails for my friend, Tina. She wanted acrylics but had no idea what kind of nail art she wanted to top it off with. So, I of course suggested The Mighty Boosh themed nails for her :) I'm pleased how they came out, they're really cute/rad.


What I used: Beautiful nails in Black, Hawley Nail Art in White.

Very simple but I love them. Thanks for looking!
Also, 47 followers for my blog!! Thanks guys! I should do a giveaway at 50! I'll have to think of what I can use as 'prizes'

Hey guys, sorry I've been away for such a long time, I've had a few major life changes. At first I had difficulty coping but things are getting better.

Anyway, Halloween is my favourite holiday and I always experiment with nails and make-up so I figured I'd do a Halloween post to get me back into the swing of things!


Count Dracula Nails!
What I used: Mode Cosmetics in VIP and Super Promise nail art stripers in red, black and white. 


Frankenstein's Monster Nails!
What I used: Moss (unnamed) BYS in Flash Dance, Super Promise nail art stripers in black, white and dark green.

I painted these nails for when I went over to Melbourne to see my lovely David, he likes him some Gloomy Bear :D So this photo was taken after I'd worn it for two weeks. Yes, two weeks, that's what to wonder of a layer of acrylic can do for your nails! It keeps them strong, helps them grow and your nail polish never chips.

I only recommend it if you're up for the maintenance though, I get lazy with it, as you can see these are in need of a refill but a lot of the time I just file them slightly and paint over it. LAZY! Anyway, to the point, the nails!


I love how they turned out and so did David, hurrah!

What I used: Beautiful Nails in White, Glossyblossom in  Mat Rose, Orly in Fair Godmother and Hawley Nail Art Pen in Black.

Nice and simple design that looks great in the end. Thanks for looking!

Now I can't take credit for this design as it was the clients idea haha, I really liked how it turned out. I did these for my friend Meg's birthday night out. Cute little Hello Kitty faces on the ring finger and Hello Kitty bows on all the others. I'm really keen to try this one out on myself!


What I used: Beautiful Nails in White, Ultra3 in Honolulu, Maybelline Salon Expert in Cutie Pink and another Maybelline in a different pink shade that was hers and I can't remember the name of it! Hawley Manicure Pen in Black and some cute little rhinestones.

Thanks for looking, let me know what you think!

At the suggestion of my man-friend I painted some Spider-Man nails. I think they're okay...the thumb/spider is good but I'm not too sure about the rest. Oh well, it was some good practice anyways.



What I used: Orly in Fairy Godmother for the base, Sirray #48 for the tips and Hawley Nail Art Pen & Brush for the spider and webbing.

Thanks for looking!

I love Nintendo and Mario and I've wanted to do some kind of design like this for a long while but I've been too chicken. Last night I bit the bullet and just did it. I'm really pleased with the outcome of these nails. I think they came out great! I can't wait to do more like them in the future!


What I used; SportsGirl Nail It in Curiouser, Unnamed Moss colour and Revlon 020 Pure Pearl sponged lightly over the blue. For all the items I used acrylic paints. Topped it off with a few top coats to seal it up.

Thanks or looking!

Wonder Woman!! Oh yeahh. Well, I did some Batman nails and so I figured I'd put some girl power out there too! I started with just the logo then decided to add her hot pants because it didn't feel like enough. I wish I had a yellow nail pen or something, then it wouldn't seem so streaky but oh well, this was the best I could do with my resources!


Here's a close up of the thumb so you can see the details;


What I used: Orly in Fairy Godmother for the base. Ultra3 in Honolulu for the logo, Sirray in 48 (blue) and 109 (gold) and white acrylic paint for the stars.

So, what do you think?

First, sorry for the crappy webcam picture but it's the easiest way to show the design all together! I've been wanting to do a Batman design for Lord knows how long but have been too chicken to attempt the bat signal. But then it came to me, just like the Star Wars design, a "knuckle tattoo" I only had to do the logo twice haha. I think it's cool, a bit too simple than what I usually get up to but I'll fix that over the weekend!


What I used for this baby; SportsGirl in Curiouser and Blue Lagoon mixed for the base and Hawely Manicure's Nail Art Pen and Brush in Black for the details.

So whatcha think? D'ya have any ideas for some other designs for me? :)

Today's nail art is something I've wanted to try for a long time! It's not an easy design but I'm proud that I could do it. I want to practice it on someone else, one of my classmates will become my victim! Anyways so it's a lilac base with a Hello Kitty french tip, pretty cool if I do say so myself!


It's not perfect or totally neat but I think it looks good when you're not picking at every flaw! Here's a close up of the thumb so you can really see what's going on.


It was fun to do and it's super cute so all in all I'm pleased with it!

For this design I used: Ultra3 in Plum Violet for the base, Professional Nail Care in White for the tips, Hawley Manicure nail art pen in black and Claire's Paints in Rose, Violet and Sunshine for Miss Kitty herself :)

Ended up using a coat of Out the Door and Sally Hansen Double Duty to seal this mani up.

So that's it for today, hope you like the design! Thoughts or comments? Lemme know!
