Funky Fingers Tortuga Tips

Hi guys! Another super quick post of some super simple nails. I wanted to some simple french tips but as its been so sunny in the UK lately I thought I would go neon. I picked Funky Fingers Tortuga. 

Its a scented polish, and to be honest I can't really put my finger on what the smell is supposed to be. 

As usual I went ahead and freehand painted the french tips.

Imagine it to be more neon though, my camera didn't do a very good job of capturing it.  

Polishes I used:

Essie 3in1 Base

Funky Fingers Tortuga

Seche Vite

Normally I am not a big fan of neons on me, they make my hands look dark and just don't compliment my skin tone but these I actually really loved and my hands don't look too bad. 

If your like me and neons don't look great on you try using just a pop of neon in your mani. It might just do the trick.

Tealy French Tips

Hi guys! Sorry for the log absence, I have found myself yet again lacking inspiration when it comes to nail art and hence not been able to create new posts for y'all. I was just going through some of my older nail art pictures when I came across some nail art that I had forgotten to post. Although it be rather simple I'm sure you will appreciate how lovely it looks. 

Polishes I used:

Duri Rejuvacote

Teal holographic franken

Illamasqua Muse

Seche Vite

I made the teal franken by mixing a green and blue jelly polish (I have forgotten the brand and polish name, sorry guys, but I made this donkeys years ago) and then added some spectraflair to it til I got the holographic effect above. I also free hand painted the french tips, it would be neater with some tape but I am far too impatient to wait for the base polish to COMPLETELY dry.

Christmas Nails - Holly French Tips

As promised today I have some more Christmas inspired nail art. These actually turned out better than expected. I was really worried I would have to scrap this idea for fear I would not be able to do the leaves but as it turns out they are not so bad; even if I say so myself. 

This mani is pretty straight forward; tape of the nails and paint a french tip. Then add 3 rhinestones to each nail close to the top corner of the nail. rhinestones save so much time and look much prettier than the standard polish and dotting tool. 

The hardest part of the mani was the leaves. I just drew a diamond with curved sides on either side of the rhiestones and then added some details with a dark green Nail Art Striper Pen which I got off eBay a very long time ago. 

Polishes I used:

OPI Nail Envy Maintanance 

Revlon Emerald City

Sally Hansen Lickety-Split Lime

Seche Vite

I also used:

Red 2mm Rhinestones

Dark Green Nail Art Striper Pen

1x Detailing Nail Art Brush

Wedding OOTD and NOTD Part 2

Today's post is a continuation of yesterdays and covers day 2 of my cousins wedding (the walima). 

On this day I opted for a trail dress, shorter at the front and longer at the back. Unfortunately you will only get a front view as I don't have a picture of the back. 

I love the colour combo on this outfit, the royal blue and the cerise pink go together so well. It is one of my Asian wedding outfits in my possession. 

As weddings go on til late and day 2 was the day after day 1, I really didn't have much time to do any intricate nail art or anything that took too long. I was rushed on time so I opted for a simple french tip manicure but I surprisingly got a lot of compliments on my nails that day.

Onto the outfit and the nails...

Polishes I used:

Duri Rejuvacote

Nails Inc Baker Street

Nails Inc New York 

Seche Vite

I did the french tip free hand but if you hands are shaky and can't free hand you can always make sure the base colour is completely dry then tape off your nails and apply the tip. 

Super easy, super quick and super cute.
