Grazia #ManicureMonday - the best nails on twitter!

I made it!

Countdown to Robbie Williams!

Thought I'd do some Take the Crown inspired nails ready for next weekend!

Long time - no hear!

I've been a very busy bee over the last few weeks and struggled to do anything but work!

However, I've now completed my nail course and am well on the way to being a fully trained and competent nail technician, just got to wait for my final exam in August.  I'm currently offering introductory treatments to get lots of practice in prior to this, so if you want anything nail related at special prices then let me know ASAP as these will only last until August 3rd!

In the meantime I've got 3 nail biting clients who all want to stop, for various reasons, and I'm working with them to get their nails looking the best they can.  Just wish I could get George to do the same!  But sadly being a strapping 6' boy he's not really interested!

Take a look at the photos and I'll keep their progress updated.

My very first set of acrylic enhancements!

My nail biter! She had a full manicure and will have acrylic enhancements today, watch out for the photo's later!

Long time no hear....

I've been waiting for George to take over the photography for me as he has a much better camera than my iPhone one to take some new nail photos, so here's a couple.  I did a version of the stripy nails of a couple of weeks ago which I liked although everyone thought they looked like bumble bees!  The other new design is Pansies, another really easy mani to do that looks really good.  Now...... all we need is sunny spring like weather!

Another set of new nails for a Sunday night out!

Not sure why my erratic social life only seems to happen on a Sunday these days. Spring was in the air on Saturday when I painted these hence the lovely Barry M Gelly colours.

Really easy to do mani that doesn't take very long, you just need 6 or 7 colours that clash a bit but overall work together, a thick end dotting tool and clean up brush, paint your base colour (pink here) and then dot the other colours across. Clean up and finish with two or three coats of topcoat. I'm going to try this with a glitter/Metallic colour pallet next week.

New nails for a Sunday night out.

Having done what I always try not to - do horse related things without gloves - I chipped my manicure grrr.

So all the sunshine made me think of girly pink. Nails Inc Brompton Place was just the colour, goldeneye by Opi with a gold flake provided the 3D gold effect. Just to toughen it up a little I put Barry M multi glitter black on accent nails.

Going to wear very pared down black pencil skirt, grey Whistles sweat, wedge trainers and some OTT jewellery this evening.

This weeks manicure.

Felt like having a much plainer manicure this week ( last weeks was a graduated neon leopard print).

The main colour is Barry M Greenberry gelly with Nails Inc Porchester Square tips.

To get really good tips use plastic hole protectors stuck onto the nail as a guide. You can also use these to get great half moons at the bottom of your nails.
