Cute Hearts| Breast Cancer Awareness Week

Hello!
Serious topic this week, over the next 5 days, I'll be posting 5 different designs each containing a pink feature to try and raise awareness for Breast Cancer. In each post I'll include a tutorial, and a 'how you can raise awareness'.

How You Can Raise Awareness
Today's is so simple, all you have to do is wear a pink ribbon! Wearing the pink ribbon shows that you're supporting Breast Cancer Care, and it doesn't matter how you wear it!

Monday's Design: Cute Hearts!
Today's design is super easy to do, and looks so cute! Plus it's actually the first design I've thought of 100% on my own :D
All you need to complete this design is 3 nail polishes!
Ta-Daa!


So all you have to do is:
Paint the base colour on your nails! I've used Barry M Matte Caramel (the beige/nude) and Crush (the burgundy)
They're just so pretty! I love the mattes so much, they're just so amazing!

So next, to make the basic heart shape; (I used Barry M 'Hot Pink')
You just have to paint one line, straight down the side of your nail, like this:
And then add another one at a slight diagonal. Voila!

Repeat this on all of your nails, and then repeat again with the third colour! :) I used Barry M Royal Textured Glitter in Princess for the centre of the heart. 
For the ring finger I just used 'Princess' as a french mani tip for a nice highlight nail that wasn't too plain.

Here's a few more pics in different angles/lighting:









Hope you like it! And don't forget it's all to help raise awareness for Breast Cancer. 
Let me know if you try out the design! ^^

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...
