Hello lovelies,

 

It's the last day of the month and that means Nailvengers Assemble Challenge! Joining me in the challenge will be Sammy (The Nailasaurus), Alice (One Nail To Rule Them All), Allie (Brit Nails) and Amelia (xAmeliax).

 

This month's theme is Floral Nail Art and I will be doing watercolour effect poppies using acrylic paint. Let's check out the manicure...

As you can see some of the pictures are with matte finish which is before topcoat. However topcoating the design brought it to life beautifully. I chose OPI My Vampire Is Buff as a base colour because I wanted to create a vintage look & feel. I absolutely adored the result so I'm very excited to show you a tutorial for these nails as well!

 

Here's how I've created this nail art and hope it will help you create yours ;)

 

 

So what do you think? ;)

Hello lovelies,

Well guess what? I've decided to do 'Maleficent Nails' because I so love Angelina Jolie and her interpretation of Maleficent. She looks absolutely fabulous and I can't wait to see the whole film. So far I've watched numerous trailers and researched posters and I'll show you my inspiration at the end of this post.

I don't think it gets more epic than this kind of nails lol! It took me about 3.5 hours to paint these and I'm quite pleased with them :) I'm not very good at painting faces so hopefully you'll recognise Angelina there :) Here are few more pictures...

I've been taking pictures and compiled a kind of step-by-step tutorial so you can see how these nails progressed. I have used A England Camelot as a base colour, acrylic paint and Barielle topcoat.

My inspiration were two pictures below - Angelina Jolie's profile poster and green flames when she does magic :)
