Daisy Nailsy

With the coming of summer (as much of a summer as one can get in Ireland) I've decided to do some floral nails, and not just any floral, daisies! These nails took me 10 minutes to do and lasted the whole weekend!


All you need is: blue, white and yellow nail polish:

(these are the cheapest I could get)

One cotton bud:

( the best way to get even dots on the nails, instead of using a nail art pen, is to take the wool off the end of a cotton bud, this way you get perfect circles )

So I painted my nails blue first:

Then using the plastic end of the cotton bud, dip it in the yellow polish first and dot on SPARINGLY (too many dots means too many flowers, and it looks shite)

Finally, add 4/5 white dots around the yellow, make sure you let the yellow dry first!

Gorge Daisy nails!!

:) enjoy the summer! x

Cupcake Cupache

My life has been surrounded by cupcakes recently, I just got a new job as the manager of a cupcake shop in Dublin, Lolly and Cooks,  and everywhere I look I see cupcakes! Hence why it's time for some CUPCAKE NAILS!!

I could of gone very fancy on these bad boys but as I said, I am the manager so time is tight for me recently!

Ok so fist of all you need 3 pastel shades of polish and one red/plum colour:

Most of these polished are from the Pound Shop, you don't have to go fancy for these!

Pick the colour you want as the base of your cake and paint HALF-WAY down the nail:

(very vile looking)

Now pick the colour you'd like for your icing and literally blob it on, be as messy as you like, if it's in a straight line it WILL look shite:

Do two layers of the icing for a more realistic effect.

Now time for some detail, the sprinkles! I found the best way to add little lines was to use the plastic from a price tag:

Using the thin end dip, it in the colour you want for your sprinkles and brush in different directions over your icing:

(sorry for the shit pic)

Ok finally you can add your cherry on top with one bigger blob! 

unrealllll! and for some other spins on cupcake nails here is some inspiration:

Little Surprise

While having one of my usual wanders around town, this time in Carlow, I stumbled upon an adorable Chinese shop called "Little Surprise". It's on Castle Hill right next to Bramley's Jewelers. At the moment there is a 50% off sale and they cover everything! From handbags, pencil cases, stickers, jewelry, you name it they have it. 

One of the items I bought were these cute nail stickers:

Only 80 CENT!! Sure you can't go wrong!

I used this mint coloured nail polish as my base coat:

Then you just peel the stickers off the paper and carefully place them on your nails. Make sure to hold them down and give a good top coat over them to make them last as long as possible.

This is how they turned out:

Lovely! You can't beat the price! Get on down to the shop and pick some up yourself! CUTE!
