wowza I love white nails.  I find then so chic and simple.. I just can't resist reaching for my white polish of late.  I decided to jazz them up with a simple abstract design inspired by wah's keith haring nails! it's a fun nail art with no set design just draw on some geometric shapes, dots, swirls and get creative!  you'll only need two things; a good white polish and a nail art pen, I've used models own snow white with their black nail pen for mine. just make sure to wait for the white base coat to dry before drawing a rave on your nails!  caroline x follow my nails on:  bloglovin | twitter | facebook | pinterest

wowza it's been a while since I first painted this nail art... an oldie but a goodie! I figured that some of you wouldn't have seen these (I first painted them just over a year ago here ) I never posted a full tutorial and I wanted to show you how I did them! I've used one of my all time favourite colours  models own beth's blue as the base. the formula of this colour is crazy good- I'm wearing just one coat in the photos below. so here's the steps I've used! first start off with the base colour and leave to dry next use a white nail art pen to draw a white circle, dab small dots around the edges to create these 'cloud' shapes above. next use a dotting tool to add a small dot of a light and dark pink to suggest flowers, then dot on greens to suggest leaves. finish off the design by adding tiny white dots in a circle shape around each flower centerpiece (it's important to space out your design so you have enough room to do this!) seal with topcoa...

I saw a tutorial for these nails in company magazine and just had to try them (thanks for the inspo you wonderful bunch!) the tutorial is a simple one but if you drink a gallon of tea a day like me I'd recommend you do these before the caffeine shakes kick in!  (if you want these to be really perfect you can always paint a set of false nails and stick them on once dry!) start with a blue base coat (I used illamasqua nobel ) use a white nail art pen to draw on cloud shapes. next draw in a white rainbow shape emerging from the cloud. use yellow, pink and green stripes for  the rainbow and leave to dry. finish off by outlining it all with a fine brush or black nail art pen! I did these quite quickly so I'm not 100% happy with them but I love the design, definitely one I'd do for a festival or day out at the seaside!  have you seen the nail art tutorials in company? tempted to try out any of the others?  back soon! caroline x want to follow my nail art posts?  chec...

I painted these mix and match nails yesterday; I thought I would share them with you to give you some ideas for your own nails!  sometimes I can't decide on just one pattern... so I guess this is a nail art cocktail of sorts! I used some of my favourite  models own  colours to create a candy coloured base to work on! I then painted on hearts, cupcakes, florals and some pop art motifs to create a fun mix & match! I hope you like them!!  back soon caroline x
