Mothers Day Moon Nails

This is my first attempt at moon nails, they aren't too neat but I was excited to use my new nail art brushes that I'd just received. Next time I think I'll use Enigmatic Rambles' method and stick hole reinforcers to the nail as a kind of template because this seems like a great tip and her nails look so neat and tidy :)

I made a mistake on my ring finger because I mustn't have cleaned the nail plate of all the black nail polish and this was transferred to the nail when I stamped :(

 But the colours match the dress I wore today for the early mothers day meal we had :)

And this is the most colour accurate photo I could get
I promise my next mani will not be green! I've gone abit OTT with the green lately hehe

Lace Nails

I absolutely love lace and my new konad plate arrived today so had to try out some lace nails! (I've also ordered the fakenad plate in QA6 which is full of lace designs :D)

Since I'm obsessed with frankens I made this creamy purple/grey colour for the base of my nails.

I used the top right design on the tips and I also added the bottom left design to my ring finger :)

  I took this chance to compare my special stamping polish to an ordinary white nail polish I have (George - natural white). I used the ordinary polish on all my nails apart from my little finger - as you can see the special polish is much brighter and stands out a lot more! which I think it great! However, for this design I prefer how the ordinary polish blends in a little, as the lace on my little finger just cuts off. Do you agree? or do you prefer the brightness of the special polish?

Rainy Day

I'm new to stamping and I have just bought a Konad plate so had to try it out straight away (any excuse to change my nails lol). I've been playing around with it and thought I'd show you the outcome. 

 After stamping I then painted over 2 of the lines to create grey tips. This is on top of my Nailene fake nails (as they seem to be lasting for ages!). 

Details of the products I used for this mani:


Base colour: Topshop Nails in *EDIT* Cloud not Rainy Day (they don't sell cloud anymore. How annoying)
White design: Bourjois French Manicure in Blanc raffine
Nail plate: Konad in S06
