Nail Art Nut's 2nd Birthday

Hello everyone!

Today marks the second anniversary of my nail art Instagram!

I created a second Instagram because I had become so obsessed with nail art, I was posting them to my regular Instagram about twice a week! So it made sense to have a dedicated nail art Instagram. I've also put together a collage of all the nail art designs I have created over the past two years, that's 144 photos!

5 Favourite Nail Art Designs | 5 Things Friday

Hello everyone! 
Thank goodness it's Friday!
I've been lacking in nail art designs and inspiration for a while now, but I've recently become inspired again *yippee* so expect some new nail art designs soon. 
On the topic of nail art (in case you hadn't noticed the theme of today...), I scrolled through my Nail Art Instagram and chose five of my favourite nail art looks to date and I'd like to share them with you today. They're all super fun, colourful and most importantly, easy.

• Chevron stencils from She Sells Seashells (see last blog post here)
• Barry M Aquarium Collection in 'Treasure Chest' 

Speak to you on Sunday!

Zombie/Frankenstein Nail Art Tutorial

Grey and White, Dots and Stripes | Nail Art Details

Hello Everyone!

Here are the details for this grey and white, nail art look.

• Barry M 'Grey'

• White Striper/Dotting Tool from Primark

I also used a dotting tool dipped into some white nail varnish because the dotting tool is a bit unpredictable on the the striper/dotting tool duo!

This is incredibly easy to do so it seems a bit silly to do a blog post about it but I'mma do it anyway!

Speak soon!
