Dry brush & Graphic Lines

*Contains gifted product.

Hey gorgeous people! Happy Friday!

It’s a beautiful Friday & I’m enjoying this not so sticky weather we’ve been having the last few days which is a bit better than the 38+ degree weather we’ve had the last few weeks.

As I’ve mentioned, I’ve been trying to get my nail art game going again. It hasn’t been easy — really struggling with inspiration — but I’ve been coming up with some cute & fun looks. Like today’s… which is a throwback to some older designs I’ve loved to do featuring dry brush, & geometric line work.

The polishes I used for this design are:

  • Butter London Pure Colour 21X Bloomsbury
  • Butter London Pure Colour 21X Posh Petal
  • Butter London Pure Colour 21X Frozen Loch 
  • Butter London Pure Colour 21X Piccadilly Prawn.
  • Butter London Patent Shine 10x Coming Up Roses
  • Art Club Striper in Black

My Butter London shades were sitting in my stash, just staring at me, so I knew I needed to pull them out. & I’m so glad I did because they created a very pretty dry brush background for my geometric line work. It’s a simple look, but I feel like it’s very striking which I was going for!

Sometimes you just can’t over think it! You need to go back to the beginning(ish) & it works out perfectly!

What do you think of this design? What kind of nail art inspo are you feeling right now? Let me know what you’re looking for, & help me create some new designs!

Happy Friday 🖤

Easy Yellow Floral Nails

Hello lovelies & happy Tuesday! How is your isolation going? So far I’ve attempted to organize baby girl’s wardrobe, watched 2 &1/2 seasons of Gossip Girl, & spent a lot of time drinking coffee & hanging out with the fam. I’ve also been organizing my nail art supplies, again, because I tend of having a habit of letting them get a bit messy in between. & while organizing my supplies, I realized it’s been a long time since I attempted using my striping polishes & nail art pens in a full manicure. Once upon a time, they used to be the main way I would draw my flowers, so I thought it would be fun to attempt a simple floral design using my old favourites.

For this manicure, the polishes I used were:

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Good Kind Pure Hardener
  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Setter
  • ACO by Ardene Lemon Sorbet
  • Sally Hansen I ❤️ Nail Art pen in Magenta
  • Sally Hansen I ❤️ Nail Art pen in Purple
  • Sally Hansen I ❤️ Nail Art pen in Turquoise
  • Art Club 2Way Nail Art Striper pen in Neon Green

I’m so used to using my good nail art brushes that creating my leaves & vines were more difficult than I thought they would be. I used to be absolutely obsessed with these strippers & nail art pens, & I think they’re still an amazing option for beginner nail artists or traveling as all your polish & tools are co,boned together. Is it the best floral I’ve ever done? Well, no. But I do think it’s still a very beautiful floral & I love them a lot! Plus the colour combination is very, very Springy! & I’ll take any hint of Spring I can get.
