Pink business

With the sun shining, it's all about bright nails now. 

No more dark purples and winter colours, the summer colors are back out and I'm loving it! 

I found a new pink that I have been using this week. 

It's by china glaze, and is called Pink Voltage. 

So this picture doesn't really do it justice but it's one of the most wearable neon pinks I'v come across. It seems to dry to a matte finish, but I'v been topping it off with a clear top coat that really makes it pop! 

It has a super cute pearlescent finish to it aswell.

 

I'v been using it this week, these are a couple of my favourite sets using this polish.....

I'm on the hunt for lime green now...

I shall keep you updated.

Spider season.

Iv spent my Sunday evening (and most of the afternoon) creating a birthday cake for my little boy who is 3 tomorrow. 

He is so obsessed with spiderman it's crazy, so I had a great idea to MAKE a spiderman cake.

I think being pregnant, and the whole nesting thing is getting to me a bit, I'm sure I could have just popped to the shops and bought a lovely pre-made spiderman cake, hassle free...... 

But hey, where's the fun and challenge in that?! 

So instead, I made the cake.

It could have turned out worse if I'm honest. (It also could have been better, but the less said about that the better) 

Anyway, enough of cake baking, let's get to the point...

I thought I would share with you a set of my ultimate favourite nails that I created, yet again for the spider crazed 3 year old, who absolutely adored them, and I won serious cool mum points! 

I give you spiderman man nails...

I hand painted these and they took around an hour to complete. 

At first I wasn't to convinced they were that striking..... I was soon proved wrong when I walked out the door. 

Apparently everyone loves a bit of spiderman! 

For the red background I used OPI big apple red, the blue background was created by using crystal nails acrylic paint and by using crystal nails one stroke brush. 

The detailing again was from crystal nails paint, using there Barbara detailing brush. 

I highly recommend their products for nail art, there so easy to use, and the paints come in a huge range of colours! 

For all you nail art addicts (like myself) I'm going to start posting a few simple nail tutorials, to show how I create some of my favourite designs...

Stay tuned.
