Day 30 : Nails inspired by a tutorial ; I used two tutorials for these nails cos one is never enough !

Splatter Nails » http://jelles.tumblr.com/post/9936885460 (I also learnt that the further away you place the straw the more splattery the splatter looks lol)

Watercolour Nails » http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=w7jlpPoZ7k4 (LOVE!)

I really loved the design on my thumb , I couldn’t stop staring at it , the design looked so neat and cool like a water decal or nail foil (wrap etc.)

I think every nail art lover should give both of these tutorials a go ! :)

I’m surprised I’ve come this far in the 30 Day Nail Art Challenge !!!

( Yeah I’m a K2 fan! , sue me lool )

I painted aliens ontop of a galaxy background (I’m getting better at galaxy nails :D )

I literally went with the flow for this nail design !

Day 28 : Flag Nails ; Inspired by the Union Jack and the Nigerian Flag :)

One of the easiest mani’s for me yet it took me forever to make sure the lines were straight , yeah I can be such a perfectionist , but overall these were okayyy ! :D

Day 27 : Inpired by artwork ; I was inspired by Nicki Farquharson

I loved doing these nails :)

I researched Nikki Farquharson during a fine art class and used her work as inspiration for my conceptual work , I really love her cool , zany and passionate work !

She makes me want to strive for perfection in my art :)

Day 26 : Inspired by a pattern ; Inspired by the mustard yellow and black skirt :)

I loved how this came out , definitely one of my faves in the nail challenge !

It does look a lot more mustardy in real life and even though the pics didn’t come out very clear I think it’s one of my most successful nail designs for the challenge ! :)

p.s Ignore the dry cuticles…

(Why does the tumblr photo thingy keep malfunctioning ??!)

I loved trying this out and experimenting with the patterns especially the gradient tribal print nail !
