Swirly Nimbus

Kerry March 23, 2015 30 Comments

Hi everyone!

I was struggling to think of a good idea for some nail art so I decided to turn to my Pinterest inspiration board and found this fun nimbus look topped with stamped swirls by Globe & Nail. I decided I’d do something similar but I wanted to freehand the swirls rather than stamping them. The thicker lines resulted in quite a different look but I like it! (more…)

Hi everyone!

It’s day 4 of the challenge and today’s theme is monochrome nails. That means I can use different shades of any one colour… and of course, I picked purple 🙂 The first idea I had for this didn’t really work out, but luckily I had time for another try and came up with something pretty. (more…)
