Wiki'd Nails: The Water Babies

Hey everyone!

It's Week 2 of the wiki challenge now, with the prompt for this being "The Water-Babies, a Fairytale for a Land Baby". Basically from what I've read over on wiki, it's a book where someone gets turned into a 'water baby' and taught what is 'good' again by a few fairies and leaders and what not... Yay?

All of the art for the book is in a pretty cool sketchy-painted kinda style so I wanted to try and capture that a bit, but I wanted to incorporate some stuff about the fairies, and of course the water, into my nails too, so this is what I came up with. (Major apology for the pic quality again, my camera and I will be reunited next week! And don't forget if you click a pic, you can make it bigger)





So as you can see, I went for a kinda sketchy-looking water ripple look on the majority of my nails. I used OPI's "Dining Al-Frisco" for a base for these, and then added lines in Nicole by OPI's "Positive Energy" (silver), OPI's "Yodel Me on My Cell" (darker teal), and Barry M's "Road Rage" (pale blue/green).



For my 'highlight' nail I went with the idea of doing fairy wings. Whether you can tell that's what they are is a different matter! I still like the flowy shape anyway. For a base I used Nails Inc's "Porchester Square" gel polish, before creating an outline in OPI's "Yodel Me On My Cell" and adding glitters of Barry M's Diamond Glitter and Disney Villainess "Just One Bite". I also filled in the top with Barry M's "Road Rage" so it wasn't a fully-nude nail and matched the others. 



So yeah... I hope you like the design, let me know what you think in the comments below!

We've all taken a different approach to this prompt again, with a range of bubble nails to using some cover-art as inspiration, so make sure to go and check out the other lady's nails too!

Shades: Birthstone Colour

Hey everyone, So, my birthstone is peridot and I hate it so much! It's just such an ew-y colour! :( Besides that, I actually have a colour that matches it!  Barry M Gelly in Key Lime  (wow I'm loving the Gelly colours right now, aren't I?). It's a bit of a strange colour so I wanted to spruce it up a bit, so I did with a few peridot-coloured gems.

April... in Nails!

Hey everyone! So April was a pretty decent month really, I came back from Africa, have now officially finished my first year of uni's lectures, went to a ball... And we had some pretty cool nails too, right!? If you can't remember them all then don't worry, I've popped them all into one handy picture for you and will link them all below!

Today's the day...!

Well, yesterday  was the day really! Haha, I had a really good day, and it was just fun in general, so here's a little pinch of what happened! First of all, in the morning I did my nails, of course ;)
