Freehand Nail Art - My First Attempt

What do you think?

Meow Kitty

I used Rimmel 5 in 1 as a base, Models Own Nude Beige as my main colour, Nails inc Jermyn Street for the dots and a Sharpie pen for the random black lines (I know a bloomin SHARPIE!) followed by another coat of the Rimmel to finish it off.

I used the Sharpie as I couldn't find any liquid eyeliner in black, this was an improvisation that actually turned out amazingly well.

I love these nails and it was simple to do as you don't need to be precise with leopard print, perfect for me a nail art novice!

Diet Coke Nails Inc - Snore

Unless you have been on living on Mars then you will have heard that when you buy 2 bottles of Diet Coke from Boots you can pick up one of 4 Nails Inc polishes

Last year I absolutely loved this offer, all the polishes were gorgeous and I have worn them all several times since, with London being a hit for me personally.

Diet Coke Nails inc polishes 2010 

This year however, I cant help but look at them and feel they look boring, cheap and nasty. The blue especially is tacky beyond belief, it looks like something a 14 year old would find appealing, and as for Caramel (I did get this) well it looks nice but it is nothing spectacular, in fact I would say its down right plain and boring when worn on its own it looks like you actually don't have finger nails!

Diet Coke Nails Inc polishes 2011

I love nails inc but cant help but feel that with this collection they have made some bad colour choices, none of them really hit this seasons trends on the head and the choice of blue just baffles me...These I don't think are for the fashoinista's among us but for teenagers still finding their style feet.

I wont be rushing to Boots to snap these up fast and I'm quite sure that they wont wizz of the shelf like the ones from last summer.

New Years NOTD

I wanted something sophisticated and not overtly festive for my New Years Eve nails, Please again forgive the state of my nails!

For this look I used my 5 in 1 Rimmel base coat & 2 coats of Nails inc The Vale, in the pics I haven't applied a top coat but will use a coat of my Rimmel.

For my ring finger I used as above but added a coat of Nails inc Shelton Street, I like that this adds a twist on a otherwise beautiful but plain mani

Happy New Year

NOTD - Mistletoe Kisses

My nails aren't all that, I don't take the best care of them but I got asked by the lovely @tsunimee to share this Christmas manicure

For this look I used my Rimmel 5 in 1 base coat, a coat of Models Own Green Tea, 2 coats of China Glaze Mistletoe kisses and another coat of the Rimmel.

Think you will all agree this is a lovely little festive look that's not too in your face, and perfect for a pea green pod like me!

Merry Christmas
