A Post About Nails

This past year I have noticed a rising trend in nail art, gone were the days where french tips were fancy but instead miniature artworks were the way to go. My friend Vivian always has the cutest nails which she does herself  (The image about is taken from her nail blog Pictures of mah nails did) which I have admired over the year but never been game to attempt myself. However a few days ago I saw an image of the bee nails below and I thought that doesn't look too hard to recreate.

Now my nail polish collection is very limited (black, white, red and various shades of pink) so I went into Gloss (cheapie nail polish in lots of different colours) and picked up a bottle of yellow nailpolish but then at the last minute decided to ditch the bee idea and make up my own design so bought a bottle of peppermint green nailpolish and off I went home inspired. I knew painting designs on nails would be hard but even with my simple design I struggled (especially painting my right hand!) and first started off using a toothpick to do the pink but then swapped it and used this tiny brush that came in a set of 12 make up brushes (probably intended for the application of eye makeup). Pictured below is my final result, definitely not perfect but pretty happy for my first go.
