Blue Bows

Hi! This is a really easy, cute and fun for everyday nails or a special occasion.  This is a re-creation of one of my designs that I lost.  This is just my way of having that nail picture back home yay!

Things you will need.

Base coat

Glitter blue polish

Top coat

Nail Bows

Dotting Tool/cocktail stick

1.  Base Coat

2.  One coat of blue glitter nail polish, about two thirds of the nail to the tip.

3.  Then do a second coat across the tip to deepen the blue.

4.  Then add the blue bow in the bottom corner

5.  Then seal the design with a top coat.

6.  Additional add on of blue spangles across the tip

And that's it.  Just remember to let each coat dry in between applications.  The glitter blue nail polish I got really cheap for about £1  and the spangles and bows I purchased from Ebay.

Ok, bye for now!

2nd Reason For Starting A Blog.

Hi just a quick update, I showed my 12 year old son what I had done on my blog and he thought that I should show my China Glaze Metro and Up & Away displays that I also got for my birthday.  As they are very pretty I thought it might be nice to share them with you.

I also wanted to explain my other reason for starting this blog.  I have been into nail stuff for years but only really admiring from a far as I only had a small collection of my own.  I have 3 kids that take up a lot of time so that kept me pretty busy.  But about 18 months-2years ago I started to have a bit more time and started to build up the collection that I have to date.  I would take pictures of my nails on my phone and maybe share them with friends on Facebook but that was it.  

This would just be my little pick me up on those bad days or lonely night while my husband worked.  But recently my Iphone and my laptop both died and beside losing all my pictures of my kids and other precious memories I also lost all my nail art pictures which has really bothered me because it was just my little haven when the world was grey to brighten my day.  Plus I had been doing this for awhile now so that was a lot of work lost.

So by doing this Blog I hope to create a more permanent place for my nail pictures and recording my activity from now on. Oh and lesson learned External hard drive all the way from now on baby!

Thanks for your time Bye for now!

First Post

Hey you guys!  This is my very first post on my new blog.  The above picture is a cabinet that my husband made for me for my birthday two weeks ago.  I can now proudly display all my nail art stuff with pride instead of it hiding all over the house in shoe boxes, yay!!   By him doing this for me it has inspired me to create my own blog about, you guessed it nail art etc.

I will share pictures stories and info on where I get my things from and as for what else I guess time will tell.  Just to say I am not a professional this is just my hobby but I have a passion about it!  My nails won't always be perfect as I am still learning but this is just my blog to document my nail activity because it brightens my day when I see my pictures and I hope it will brighten yours too!

I enjoy nail stamping and I'm trying to learn freehand nail art but as I said I am still learning so I don't know how much of that I will show for now.  I will try to post as often as I can and if you have any comments or ideas I would be happy to hear them.  Ok that's it for now but I hope to post again soon. Bye for now!
