Ashleigh's Nails

So I havnt had a nail post for a while and I was feeling inspired by a post I saw on Wah nails instagram! It featured a dry brush technique that gave a cool, celine esque effect on a white base! Really simple to create,just apply a white base coat and wait to dry. Then pick 2/3 matchy colours (or clashing) completley up to you! Wipe of as much excess paint on the side of the bottle then using a paper towell wipe of any remaining excess, then paint away! Using the dry strokes on your white base really highlights the brush lines and I love it! Here's my attempt below, let me know if you give it a go or want any more info! 

Hope you enjoyed!

Ashleigh's nails!

Hello everyone! 

It's that time of week again, new nails! Here's a couple I have had over the past few days. Using both Models own and French Connection polishes I created these two looks!

Models own 'Fuzzy Peach' 

I created this look with the peach base colour and using nail pens applied the Leopard print effect. All you have to do to create this look is apply a few white patches around the nail. After you have applied the white just do a few small black outlines but do not outline the whole patch or it will look like spots! Add your top coat and you are away :)

French connection Maroon Purple (out of a gift set)

To create this daisy print look, you will need a base colour, white polish pen/brush, and yellow polish pen/brush. To start randomly apply small yellow dots around the nail (not too close together). Then after they have dried apply small white dots around the yellow spot to create the daisy effect! Try to use a small round nail stick to do this or nail pen as using a polish brush will just make big splodges of white and ruin the effect. 

Hope you enjoyed my two quick leopard print and daisy print mani's! If you have any questions please feel free to ask and leave any feedback or comments! 

Thank's for looking,

Ashleigh's nails!

Nail time again! As we're quickly getting closer and closer to christmas I thought i'd go for something a little festive. With all my new polished it was tricky to decide on colour but eventually I went for a Ciate mini 'Amazing Gracie' and Barry M 'Pink Iridescent' which is gorgeously glittery! With the Amazing gracie base coat and the Barry M over the top it creates a perfect subtle festive glitter nail.

After creating my glitter nude base I decided to add snowflakes for that extra bit of christmasy spirit and it's a little more subtle than full blown reindeer and santa head nails! (not that there's anything wrong with them either!) Anyway, to add the snowflakes I just made a star shape with 4 lines and then simply added little flicks to the end to create snowflakes, I used my white nail pen to create these! I also left one nail blank to add some extra sparkle, I used my gold glitter nail pen to paint my 3rd finger in from the thumb as I like to create a little gap between patterned nails. After all my nails were dry I added a few drops of 'Blizzard-wonderland' polish from Models own to add a little more detail to the snowflakes. There, that's how I created the nails below.. Sparkly,Subtle and Stylish!
