art | Let's Talk Nail Art

Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of the cup that inspired these. It is stunning, so maybe I’ll show you one day.

But these are the nails that I did

I’ve said before but seriously you need to get the angle of the scraper right, the pressure, how you roll your stamper on the plate and then into your nail.

I mean still easier than having to hand paint this design haha.

I got the inspiration for the colours of this stamp from “Blue Willow” tea cups. They’re gorgeous. I wish I could find a large one that I could put all my tea in (I only like big cups because omnom tea).

Cheeky shot with the bottle heading your way

Materials used for this mani:

Polishes: @barrymcosmetics “Damson”, “White” and “Matte” top coat

Stamping plate: @bornprettystorenailart “BP-02”

Stamper: “Creative Shop Stamper” from @rainbow_c_uk

Liquid Latex: “ZAP!” From @rainbow_c_uk

Scraper: an old library card
I’ll probably do a tutorial at some point for stamping, once I’m a pro. But I don’t know how I’d get the camera angles right… Like the stamp would be covering my nail and probably blocking the camera haha. So I’ve got to work that one out.

I was nominated by Rachel and Sleepyhead for the liebster award.

Basically the liebster award only exists on le Internet and is awarded to bloggers by other bloggers (nice huh?!)

“Liebster” means like TONS of things in German: dearest, sweetest, kindest, nicest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, welcome, sweetheart and boyfriend (okay so that last one probably isn’t relevant but all of these words are proper cute)

Okay so here’s how this thing is meant to play out:

1. You mention and thank the person that nominated you (and link the blogs – so that’s Polish Is The New Black and Sleepy Head 16)

2. Answer the 11 questions that they gave you to answer

3. List 11 facts about yourself

4. Nominate up to 5 -11 small bloggers with less than 200 followers (link them at the bottom)

5. Write your own questions for your nominees

6. Tell them they’ve been nominated.

I love this little floral thing to use as a break up for paragraph things as you can probably tell haha.

Okay so I have been tagged twice … so I have more questions to answer … so if there are duplicates/similar ones i’ll just answer it once 🙂

Why did you start blogging?

HAH to be completely honest I suck at blogging, I always forget to post and I never do it when I say I will. HOWEVER I’m working on that. I started though because I was annoying the absolute crap out of my friends on my personal Instagram account and thought the best way around it would be to make a separate page 🙂

Facebook or Instagram?

Instagram all the way!

Favourite part of blogging?

I love the feedback that I get from everyone, I also love seeing people’s recreations of my mani’s. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Favourite place in the world and why?

As ridiculously corny and disgusting as it is, my favourite place to be is on my boyfriends sofa. (Don’t tell him) We only get to spend the weekends together so when its the weekend we can cuddle all day on that sofa 🙂

Sunrise or sunset?

Sunset, I am NOT a morning person.

If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?

I want to say something typical to make me look good – like “no cancer” or things like that. But the reality of it is that if we didn’t have diseases (even though they’re horrific and heartbreaking) our world would be over populated and all that bullshit. If I could change one thing in the world it would be to get rid of Mental Illnesses. No one needs to have their brain deteriorate and become a shadow of their former self.

Favourite book series and why?

Hunger Games. I cried. Yup. CRIED. In every book. It was just so marvellously written.

Favourite high street store?

Oh gosh I actually don’t know. I like to buy all my clothes on BooHoo, but I suppose my favourite place to buy dresses is Jane Norman.

Whats your biggest fear?

I HATE spiders, like for reals, can’t handle them at all!

What type of blog posts do you enjoy reading?

Hmmm… I wonder what you guys think it would be. NAIL ART BLOGS!

Who is your role model (famous or not!)

Anne Boleyn. Even if she did get beheadded, she was a woman WAY before her time and when she saw something she wanted, she did everything she could to get it!
