Halloween Nails

Here are my Halloween-themed nails from last week:

Right Hand

Left Hand

I used nail decals for the pumpkin faces and sugar skulls which I'd bought from Etsy. The nail decals are so easy to use and look really effective, they're also cheap which is just an added bonus! I did the Frankenstein's monster faces, blood drip, and 'BOO' all freehand, using a mixture of my Wah Nail Art pen, red and white nail polishes and a dotting tool. These Halloween nails are definitely one of my favourite nail designs so far as they were so easy and quick, they also look pretty decent which makes me love them all the more! 

*HAPPY (BELATED) HALLOWEEN*

.........GRRR. ARGH.

Nails For This Week

And my nails for this week are looking like this:

RIGHT HAND

LEFT HAND

Yes, I still haven't got round to buying a decent camera yet but trust me I'm working on it, but for now the webcam will just have to do!

More Nails Folks!

I normally tend to only paint my nails once a week but due to being massively bored tonight & with the prospect of uni work just seeming too much hassle for a Thursday night, I decided to crack out some nail art!

Here's the transfers which I created:

Before being cut out!

Ready for application!

And here's how they turned out (I took all these pics on my webcam which is why the images aren't great quality as I don't have a camera BUT I plan on buying one very soon, so sit tight!):

RIGHT HAND

 

LEFT HAND

The blue glitter paint splodge design is my favourite I think, but the tiny hearts are equally as cute, so I would say that this was a relative success. I now just need to wait for them to fully dry so I can go to bed. Why must I always paint my nails late at night?! 

One last thing - a man working in Tesco today was complimenting me on my Pac-Man nail design (click here to see my Pac-Man nail design blog post) which was nice, he seemed to know a lot about nail technicians which was....unexpected. Either way, he was clearly a fan of nail art.....or Pac-Man? I'm still not quite sure which one!  

Pac-Man Nails

So I literally just deleted this blog post by accident because I am ridiculously smooth and have had to write it all again. Anyway, I'll try my best to rewrite what was written whilst I continue to cry over the forever deleted orignal version of this post.

I LOVE these Pac-Man style nails, I was always scared of the Pac-Man ghosts when I was younger, I would be playing the game on the family computer and have to quit it the moment the ghosts started to chase me. In case you were wondering - I hated being chased back then. However, I decided to get over this childhood Pac-Man ghost phobia of mine by creating these Pac-Man inspired nails, and I have to say, if anything? The ghosts look kind of cute..................although I have tested myself by playing Pac-Man just a minute ago and I still can't play it for very long, turns out I still don't like being chased very much.....even if it's on a retro arcade game!

I actually got a compliment from a man working in Tesco's when I was sporting these nails which was bizarre because he really did not seem like the kind of guy to notice or be in to nail art but he was pretty knowledgeable about it all, which just goes to show that you should never judge a book by it's cover, I guess.

Anyway, this nail art may not have fixed my irrational Pac-Man ghost phobia but at least they look quirky enough to get the odd compliment which, for now, will just have to do!

*GAME OVER*

More Nails

So this is how my nails have been looking over the last couple of weeks:

LAST WEEK

THIS WEEK

Yep, in case you were wondering I am definitely addicted to nail art. But I'm ok with that as long as it means my nails look pretty.

Fancy Nails!

I've recently started making my own nail transfers which I think I've already mentioned in a previous post. I genuinely can't get over what a good idea it is, especially for people like me who aren't blessed with a steady hand when it comes to painting nails, it turns out that I'm the least ambidextrous person in the entire universe!

Anyway here's my nails from last week:

I personally love the googly eyed design! Oh, and the tuxedos! Hence why all my nails are teeny tiny tuxedos this week:

Let's be honest now, EVERYBODY loves Raymond a teeny tiny tuxedo, AM I RIGHT?!

This will definitely do until I can afford to get my nails done at WAH Nails!

How I Spent V-Day This Year

How did I spend Valentine's Day this year I hear you ask? Well let's see, it's one word, two syllables: ALONE.

Well technically I wasn't alone in the evening, I was with my mum watching the Valentine's Day special of Don't Tell The Bride on BBC3 feeling utterly depressed and lame about being on my own at this time of year. It's the one time of year where ALL single people resent all those in relationships. It's also the one time of year where us single people look sadly at the Valentine's Day displays in shops & map out exactly which card we'd choose if we had someone to give it to.....wait, is that just me who does that? Awkwaaaard.

Anyway, rather than get drunk on wine or eat my own body weight in chocolate (both tempting choices), I decided to do the only thing a girl can do to take her mind off her lonely social status. And what may you ask is that which I'm referring to? Why, it's painting my nails of course! DUH!

So not only did I paint my nails, but I also made my own nail art transfers. Chuffed much!?! They're so pretty AND cheap! I mean who doesn't love moustaches, tuxedos and smiley faces! I know I do!

Not bad for my first attempt at DIY nail art transfers! Also notice how there are no love hearts in my designs? That's my shameless attempt at rebelling against Valentine's Day, after all it's just a holiday created so card companies can make heaps of money out of the gullible 'loved-up' consumer, right? I am SO not bitter. Now, would someone PLEASE love me so that I'm not alone next V-Day! That's not desperate, right? Cooooool.
