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?

It's been a little while but I've been busy! School is coming to an end and I've had David over to visit so finding the time to post has been difficult. I have however been taking photos of my manis so I have a back log to share.

The next one I'm sharing started off as a Tim Burton styled black and white stripes, we know he loves them! Then a day or so later I added the bows just to give it a little something extra.


What I used: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Platinum and Hawley Manicure Nail Art Pen/Brush in black. For the bows I used a white acrylic paint as a base. Then used Orly in Fairy Godmother and L.A. Colors Nail Deco in another red (can't remember the name!) for the outline. Topped with Out The Door!

One last thing, I've had a few disasters with my nails recently, they've kept breaking constantly and one even split down the middle, very painfully. Yesterday I put some acrylics on to keep them strong for now and make sure my nail grows back correctly. Anyways, in a few posts time you'll see a drastic change in my nails so this is why, and also a warning! lol

Some friends and I helped out at a Hair show on the weekend and because I was too chicken to enter the nail art section I just painted one of the girls nails so I could say I at least "tried"
I was kicking myself when we got there, they winners received trophies! I could have had a chance at a trophy for nail art! Oh well, next year.

Anyways, Catherine has long lovely nails so I had a lot to work with which just made it ten times more exciting to have a go at something, I went for more detailed Cherry Blossoms this time around!

Forgive me, my camera was dying!



Here's a (kinda) better shot.


I really enjoyed myself with this design! However I can't recall all the products I used, I know the base is Curiouser by SportsGirl with some different whites and glitter sponged over it >.> and the white of the flowers is acrylic paint. I went in open to whatever products worked so I can't remember them all! If there is something you're dying to know just ask and I'll do my best to figure out what it was that I used!

I have some designs stocked up from the past however long so I'll share them as the days go on. I just finished some Wonder Woman nails which I'm stoked on so I can't wait for you all to see them.

Until next time, take care :)

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? :)

Just a quick update tonight. I'm suffering lady cramps today. They hurts :(
Anyhoot, I wanted purple nails today and I love orange with purple so I ended up with little monsters on my nails (hehe GaGa reference) I think they're cute...though I got a little impatient so they're a bit messed up now >.>


And because I can, a better shot of the thumb! Grrr! hehe


What I used: Sirray in 111 as my base. Rimmel London in Tangerine Queen for the monsters. Hawley Manicure pen in black for all of the black and white acrylic paint.

I stole Renee again and did her nails, this time with chocolate icing and sprinkles! The sprinkles could have been better but I still think it's cute :)


What I used: Avon in French Tip Lilac for the base colour. Acrylic paint for the chocolate. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Platinum, Modelista in hot pink and the nameless lavender again!

I'm resisting from painting my nails again this weekend, I feel like I should keep the ocean theme for a while as it's the most complex thing I've done in a while so it deserves some extra time. But I have all these ideas buzzing in my head of what I want to do next! Some say I'm obsessed...
