Woodcarving

Hey! So, I just got back from a LARP trip (which is also the reason I'm a bit late with this post) and I'm still wearing the design I made for this event. I needed something medieval, pale colours that wouldn't show some minor chips and as usual, I didn't really know what I would paint when I sat down to do it. I started with a wooden base (also used in Tribal Chevron and Wooden, Blue and Aztec) and as I was looking at the wooden look I came up with the idea of woodcarving imitation on my nails...

Lollipop Nails (+tutorial)

Hi!
I have another tutorial for you today. And another swirl design, I like painting them so much - there is no need to be precise.

My original intention wasn't to paint lollipop nails, I wanted to paint swirls and then they happened to be pink. I didn't have the final image in my mind when I started, it was pretty random.

Tutorial after the jump!

H&M Tribal (+tutorial)

Hello there!
About a month ago I entered the H&M with no intentions of buying anything. My intentions had to be quickly reconsidered right after I saw this lovely tribal pencil case waiting for me. Both sides agreed it was love at first sight. No matter how bad I felt for replacing my good old pencil case I had to have this one. Not only for the pencils but also for the design itself, I could see it on my nails that moment already.

Birds

Hi!
I wanted to paint some birds on my nails, but I wasn't sure how to make it a whole design. Then I also bought new matte top coat, which is actually called Essence 24/7 nail base, but who cares, it's perfectly matte. This, somehow, led to what you see now...

Originally I wanted to have trippy colourful fog in the background, but I ended up with (also colourful and trippy) clouds, making it look a bit more like the sky.
