Tropical Tiger Nail Art

First I applied my base coat and then Revlon Mad About Mango on the upper 2 thirds of my nail. Next I applied Nails Inc Carnaby Street to the remaining lower third of my nail. I then applied Models Own Pink Lady to the top third of my nail, over the top of Mad About Mango.

Next, I stippled each nail polish lightly over where the colours met to blend the colours into each other. I went over everything with two coats of Nyx Grafitti. Finally I made random tiger stripes across my nails using Andrea Fulerton Stripe & Sparkle Pattie, then applied Seche Vite as my top coat.



Pink With Silver Bows Nail Art

After applying my base coat, I applied a coat of OPI Aphrodite's Pink Nightie, then I added two coats of OPI Katy Perry Teenage Dream. This is my favourite polish combination at the moment.

For the bows, I used Eyeko Cosmic Polish with my dotting tool to make two heart shapes with the pointed tips touching each other, then added a dot in the middle where the tips met.

Next, I added OPI DS Coronation in the middle of the bows with a small nail art brush, leaving an outline of the Cosmic Polish around the edges.

Finally I added a clear rhinestone in the middle of each bow and sealed with Seche Vite top coat.

Black & Red Corset Nail Art

To begin I applied my base coat and then Barry M Black to the tips of my nail. I filled the lower half of my nail in with Collection 2000 Big Hair. I painted a line along the middle of my nail with Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique Stripe & Sparkle in Pattie.

I went over the red polish with Nubar Fire Sparkles and added dots of Barry M Black to make the holes in the corset.

At this point I changed my mind with what I wanted to do with my index, middle and pinkie nails. I originally planned to add bows at the top of each nail but after painting the bow on my thumb nail I thought it might look a bit too much. I decided I just wanted to have the corset pattern all the way up those nails, with bows only on my thumb and ring finger nail.

I would have just extended the red polish up over the black at the tips of my nails, but the red polish wasn't opaque enough to completely cover the black. I removed all the polish from the 3 nails and started again. I applied Big Hair all over the nails and went over it with Fire Sparkles. I added the lines through the middle with Pattie and used Barry M Black to add the dots.

For the ribbon I used Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique Stripe & Sparkle in Katleen. I used a very light hand while doing the criss-cross part of the ribbon, joining each dot in a diagonal. For the bow I used a slightly heavier hand because I wanted it to stand out slightly from the criss-cross part of the ribbon. Finally I added a red rhinestone in the middle of each bow and sealed everything with a coat of Seche Vite.



Pink & Black Corset Nail Art

First I applied my base coat and then painted the tips of my nails (excluding the ring finger) with OPI Aphrodite's Pink Nightie. For my ring finger I painted a third of my nail on each side, leaving the third in the middle bare.

I went over Aphrodite's Pink Nightie with OPI Katy Perry Teenage Dream.

Next, I lined all the pink parts with Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique Stripe & Sparkle in Pattie. I added four dots on the ring finger as shown.

Next, I drew in the ribbon with a bow on my ring finger, still using Pattie. On the rest of my nails, I added a criss-cross pattern below the tips and then added dots below that to make a lacy pattern.

After that I decided I wanted something to make the ribbon on my ring finger stand out from the outline of the corset. I went over the outline with Andrea Fulerton Stripe & Sparkle in Brooke, ideally I'd have done this before painting the ribbon as I then had to go back over the parts of the ribbon I covered. I also added Brooke along the black outline at the tip of my nails. Finally I finished with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.



Rainbow Gradient Nail Art

First I applied a base coat and then one coat of Sally Hansen White On. This coat doesn't have to be perfect, it's just a base so the colours on top will show up better, especially if they're slightly sheer.

Next, I took two polishes per nail and applied them both to seperate parts of my nail, overlapping the colours where they met to give a gradient effect. I continued the next nail with the last colour used on the previous nail to give the effect of a rainbow.

I did the same thing to each nail with the following colours:

Thumb: Sally Hansen Wedded Bliss and Barry M Pale Purple

Index: Barry M Pale Purple and OPI What's With The Cattitude?

Middle: OPI What's With The Cattitude and Barry M Mint Green

Ring: Barry M Mint Green and China Glaze Lemon Fizz

Pinkie: China Glaze Lemon Fizz and w7 Flourescent Orange.

 I applied OPI Text Me Text You randomly to parts of my nails to add a bit of sparkle and then used Seche Vite as my top coat.



Purple Drips Nail Art

After applying my base coat, I applied two coats of OPI Panda-monium Pink.

Then, using a dotting tool, I applied a purple Primark polish to the ends of my nails. I loaded the dotting tool up with nail polish and then placed it a bit further down my nail and then connected it up to the tip of my nail. I made sure I rounded off any harsh edges, so it looked like the polish was just running down my nails. I added some dots of polish even further down my nail to add to the dripping effect.

When that was dry I went over the dark purple polish with Mavala Violet Diamond and then CND Amethyst Sparkle. Finally I added Seche Vite as my top coat.



Pink & Purple Leopard Print Nail Art

To start I applied a base coat and then two coats of OPI Flower-To-Flower.

Next I drew the outline of the leopard print with Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique Stripe & Sparkle in Pattie.

I used a mixture of w7 Purple Dazzle and OPI Mad As A Hatter to fill in some of the leopard print and finished off with Seche Vite top coat.
