Graphic black & Yellow Print - Free Hand Nail Art Tutorial

This one reminds me of Lichtenstein.  Well that, or the well known cartoon 'POW design by Wah Nails. (as seen on the ring finger here:

If you've never heard of Wah Nails, you need to check them out.  They're a well known nail art salon in London, UK.

although it resembles one of their designs, this design was actually intended to be a simple crooked french manicure.  And yet it turned into so much more  :)

Enjoy!

Another Bundle Monster tutorial.
I think it looks very summer leafy.  It was commented that it could suit fall - which a change of colours - with which I totally agree.

Enjoy!

Black Moon Triangle - Nail Art Tutorial

Hi everyone,

This one is EXTREMELY simple.  It does take patience though.  Make sure your base colour is ABSOLUTELY COMPLETELY 100% DRY before applying the tape.  If you don't wait long enough that polish will peel up when you remove the tape and completely ruin the manicure.

Quick tip:  try applying your base colour in thinner coats.  Thin coats of nail polish dry quicker than thick coats.

Good Luck!

Neon Aztec Nails #1, #2, #3

I had a request looong ago to do an aztec inspired type of nail art design.   This is that long awaited tutorial.  HOWEVER, instead of only doing one nail, I've done three!!  (okay, well I actually did 4, but only created 3 tutorials.)

Video tutorials for each of the three designs and full list of materials is after the jump.

Whoopsie. I've missed you! ..... PLUS A New Free Hand Tutorial: Pink Bokeh

Whoa!  I've been slacking!  Sorry everyone.

But I must say that as apologetic I may be about not updating my blog, I have an announcement to make:
I have finally succumbed to the pressure of social media sites:  I am now on twitter, AND I have a facebook fan page.

www.twitter.com/miss80million
www.facebook.com/miss80million

{pretty easy to remember isn't it}
I'm still trying to figure out the whole facebook fan page thing but hopefully it'll be up and actively running soon.  it's all about baby steps.

However,
Let's get to the main point of this post.  I've just uploaded a new tutorial.

I think this one's totally gorge!
Hope you like it enough to give it a try.It was inspired by a desktop background of mine.


In photography "Bokeh" is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur.  There was an image that this design was inspired by, but for the life of me I can't find it on my computer anywhere now that I need it.
