Unique @Topshop SS 12 inspired nails…

TOPSHOP UNIQUIE SS 12 1TOPSHOP UNIQUIE NAIL WHEELTOPSHOP UNIQUIE SS 12 2
I love this collection! The muted palette with a splash of pink & blue, Egyptian themes, sports lux & the lovely Charlotte Free strutting down the catwalk, what’s not to love?

Unique translated onto nails pretty well don’t you think? Definitely not the most detailed set of nails I have ever painted but they still look pretty good. & They are all ‘every day wearable’ too! :) What do you think?

Again, if you have any ‘inspired by nails’ suggestions, I would love for you to get involved & leave any ideas in the comments! :)

Shorts: DIY’d from leggings
Belt: New Look
Feather dream catcher necklace*: By Samii Ryan

I am in love with my new camo jacket! I bought it off ebay for a tenner which is fab as is the exact same one that they are selling on UO for 48 big ones! Bargain? I think so!

I wanted to say thank you for all the lovey feedback you have all given me on my recent nail wheels. I wasn’t sure about keeping up the whole ‘inspired by’ nails thing but you all seem to like it, which is great, so I am going to stick with it! I would love for you to get involved & suggest any shops/websites/designers/anything that you would like to see translated onto nails! Feel free to tweet/ask/email/comment/FB your suggestions! :)

Also, it would be awesome if you could check out the new tumblr I made this week. I am going to be posting all of my nail art on there too so, if you want to keep up to date, you can here

Motel inspired nails…

MOTEL 1MOTEL ROCKS NAILSMOTEL 2
As you can see, this weeks nails are inspired by the brilliant Motel Rocks. I always love their designs & I couldn’t resist trying to paint their prints! I am so pleased with how they have turned out. My favourites have to be the floral, baroque & ‘new check’ nails.
I think this whole ‘inspired by’ nails is turning into a bit of a series ahahha! I am really enjoying transferring fashion trends onto nails. What do you think? Should I keep it going, or do you think I’m being a bit too repetitive?
