Wild, Wild Nails! (And a swatch!)

And once again, the blog is all set up and tidy, apologies to the few people who may have visited while the blog was in the middle of customisation, it must've looked a mess!
To (hopefully) make up for that, I have this post for you! You're being spoilt today with all of the new things, aren't you? :D
Anyway! It's time to go wild!
Rawr?

For these nails, I have used OPI Alpine Snow as the white base... (Swatch time!)


(Sorry for the mess on these, I should've tidied them up a bit before taking pictures, but it was cold and like 1am...!)

I've then added Barry M Burgundy Croc Effect crackle onto 4 nails of each hand

I have absolutely no idea why it's called 'croc' effects because this really isn't like scales of a crocodile! But I do love it anyway hehe!

The zebra/white tiger nails are done using Andrea Fulerton's Black Dot & Flick striper-part, though any striper, or even a thin paintbrush and some black polish, will work just as well! Just carefully draw some wild-looking stripes onto your nail. Don't worry if they look a bit wobbly either, it makes it more realistic than completely straight stripes!
And voila, wild wild nails, cute style! ;D


Do you like these nails? If you try them out yourself, I would love to see some pictures! You can post a link in a comment, or tweet me @Nail_Parade :)
Hope you like all the new designy stuff!

Insta'd... Shopping!

Hey everyone! So whilst exams are underway, I'm gonna be posting some random updates showing my recent instagram pics and writing some text-only posts. Today I'm grouping up my last week-or-so's shopping items! First of all, I ordered some pretty little MoYou London  stamping plates and an XL stamper... And I'm loving them all. You'll hear loads more about these post-exams!

Wiki'd Nails: Tesla

Hey everyone! Today's "Wiki'd Nails" Challenge subject is "Tesla"... of the Nikola Tesla variety. I must say, I recognised the name when I first read it but wasn't sure what he did. Apparently he's best known for the AC system in electricity, which sparked a few ideas to transfer onto nails. My first plan was going to be some lightning strike nails, but then I remembered about a new stamping plate I got...

Happy New Year! (Have a quick update~)
