leopard print nails

Sorry for the hiatus, been a busy month, but what better to come back with then leopard print!

leopard print is very simple, I've also done it with a red accent nail, which I really like. I also did alternating with red and leopard on every other nail which I also loved.

As far as doing the leopard print, start out with a nude or gold, which ever you prefer. Use this as the base color. 

Then use a brown or bronze, the color I used here is a bronze color by OPI. You don't need the nail art brush for this step, just blot on some dots with the corner of your brush, and they can be different shapes and sizes.

Lastly you use a black nail art brush and just sort of go around the bronze. What's great about leopard print is it's always different, it's ok if you aren't perfect with this and it will still turn out great! You can see in the picture how all the spots don't look the same. I also added a few plain little black dots if there was too much nude showing through in some places.

And there you go! Super simple and super cute!

Freddie Mercury nails

Today is Freddie Mercury's birthday, every year people celebrate Freddie for a Day and dress a Freddie and raise money for the Mercury Phoenix Trust. Today I dressed as Freddie, but I also had to do some nails of course.

Anyone who know me knows I'm a BIG Queen fan, but an even bigger fan of Freddie. I love that man, I find him so inspiring and am still in awe of his talent every time I hear a Queen song.

Freddie also had some great outfits, and that is where in inspiration for my nails came, so here's how they turned out:

Below the nails I added pictures of the various outfits I used as inspiration. The silver sequin unitard, the yellow jacket from the Wembley show, his outfit from "It's a hard life" music video, the harlequin unitard and of course the crown.

This took lots of different colors and thin brushes, ps- I did these in an hour, which I was pretty impressed with.

Hope you all enjoy, and if you can please donate to the Mercury Phoenix Trust so we can find a cure for the terrible disease that took this wonderful man and talent from us, the link to donate is below.

Van Gogh Starry Night nails

So, I did these nails during the spring. Here is what they looked like:

and then the thumb:

I really don't even know how to explain how to do these nails. I just looked at the painting (via google images) and pictures of other takes on it with nail art and just had lots of colors, thin brushes, and lots of time.

So even though I can't give specific instructions, I thought these were cool so I wanted to share, hope ya'll enjoyed :)
