Nude Leopard Print, Models Own & W7

I've always lusted after nude leopard print manis, but never did one until now, just because I was hoping to have more nudes in my collection. I love nudes, I'm not sure why but nudes and taupes are my thing.. Although I wear a lot, a lot of brights xD

Anyhoo I did this using Models Own - Nude Beige, which is half empty and still applies like a dream, and used W7 - Suede, and a black nail art pen.

Base Coat: Nail Rx - Stuck on you
Base Colour: Models Own - Nude Beige
Spot Colour: W7 - Suede
Nail Art Pen In Black
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

For the last two days of wear I added Rimmel - Matte finish

 These were really fun to wear, especially matte.

My Cousin Frans Nails!

Frances and my aunt Rosie came to stay with my family over Christmas for about 5 days, in that time I did Fran's nails three times, my aunts once, and my mams once; for the first time ever. Because these were all done at night and we had stuff to do/ were sleeping during the best hours of light I only have pics of Fran's designs. Also partly because her iPhone flash doesn't bleach out your fingers like my camera flash does!

The penguin design came from a You Tube tutorial, after I spied it on Copy That, Copy Cat and fell in love with it :] Sorry for the messy clean up, I haven't found my perfect cleanup method for acrylic paint & polish just yet, not while the nails are wet yet anyways.

Minted & Skinny Silver Tip

Back to feeling wintery today colour wise! :D I still wish it would hurry up and snow here, as it looks miserable outside! Not as miserable as I feel today though, as I'm coming down with something, my back & joints ache; my eyes are bloodshot and sore, and my throat is pretty nasty feeling. I sounded like such a man when I first woke up :P

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colour: Revlon - Minted
Tip Colour: Miss Sporty - Silver (Unknown Name/Number)
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

 

I felt like something simple; and felt like a skinny french tip, as many times I do them way too large, but I think this is because I used to tape them off, but I think free-handing is the way to go now ^_^ Though I still need more practice.

Pink & Black Flowers Bundle Monster & A Cute Iguana

I hate when I get stuck in a rut of certain colours, or shades, so to brighten my day up I used a bright pink MUA polish. And then there's a pic of an Iguana from the Aquarium I went to at the start of December :]

Base Coat: CND - Stickey

Red & Gold Sponged Fishnet

I hope everyone had a good NYE! I know I was feeling a little delicate this morning from the champagne last night, but I'm all good now :D These aren't the nails I wore last night, but they are festive-ish in my eyes, and I love wearing them as the gold really popped in real life.

Base Coat: CND - Stickey
Base Colours: Barry M -Raspberry & W7 - Metallic Mercury & H&M - Wa Wa Woom
Stamp Colour: BYS - Black Satin
Image Plate: Bundle Monster 209
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

I started off with a coat of Barry M - Raspberry so Metallic Mercury wouldn't need more than the one coat. Then I sponged on H&M - Wa Wa Woom & Stamped with Bundle Monster 209. You can't really see Metallic Mercury's beauty here like you could in my swatches but it was the kind of red I was after.
