Pink Leopards

I haven't posted in a while, been working way to much and doing too many things, love a busy life! So due to my short amount of time in a day recently here's my idea of a quick mani.

Took about half an hour with drying time and means I have great looking nails for work and for going out too and it hasn't taken up my day, bonus!

Here is a beautiful design and really simple to do, and mistakes are easy to cover up. I used Drop Dead Gorgeous- Baby Pink.  I painted just a few layers on my index, middle and pinky fingernails and the other two I used W7- Pearl White it gives a beautiful shine. On top of this I used my Rio art nail Collection of a subtle neon purple, baby pink and hot pink shades to add blobs of colour in random shapes. After I simply used the black art pen and lined each blob with two unsymmetrical line/dots/rosettes to get a really simple, quick leopard art design!

I used the purple at the base of my nail, followed by baby pink in the centre and hot pink at the edge to create a bit of a gradient. I recommend this design because you can use any colours you want, blues, blacks and greys, anything.

Finish your nails with a top coat of clear nail protector to get the shine and leave to dry!

Galaxy Shot

Hey guys, so been viewing other peoples blog and noticed how often Galaxy nails are coming up, so I had to have a shot at it. I really wanted to do a picture tutorial on it, and I will now I know how easy they really are, but I still wanted to have a shot at it first.
I love how you can use any colours and just blend, dab, and create what you want! In this example I used W7 Nail Varnish Metallic's range ( I bulk bought 15 colours ;)) and they are simply brilliant. Not a common brand, but not cheap either! they are all shades of galaxy tones: some ambers, pinks, purples while some blues, greens, pinks. Each one is distinguishable different colours (all 15) and somehow I have used them all.
I used Collection Bedazzled sparkle top coat and only in moderation, following my trails of colour varnish so as not to over power the galaxy effect with glitter. I accidentally did this to two of my nails and they just look like dark base glitter top... I wasn't impressed.

So yeah definitely loving this futuristic space-age feel, as you can just go wild and do whatever, don't follow guides, just imagine it all up!
