Graphic Print!

Hey readers, its been blooming ages since my last post... This selection of nail designs are from the past couple of weeks. I'm loving bold, simple statement nails. Some are heavily influenced by the great Madeleine Poole, Nail Artist. If you haven't seen her work google it immediately! Lol. Immaculate and skilful is Miss Poole, her execution and precision is one of a kind. I absolutely adore her work.

As you know (if you follow my work) my style is colourful, bold and consists of Graphic prints and geometric shapes. The Black and White set were inspired by LFW. I collaborated with Butter LONDON on a few shows this week using Union Jack Black and Diamond Geezer (silver borders) and a matte top coat for Craig Lawrence's catwalk show... Little sample shown below! (my birthday nails today!) Have a sneaky peek of what I've been up to of recent and let me know your thoughts?? Xx

Club Tropicana!

Hey Bloggers, i haven't written a blog for a while. Hope you are all well. As the weather has been somewhat nice in London I have designed some colourful nails to go with the it...

Tropical Ombre nails and beautiful coloured Ribbons as I call them. Take a peek and let me know your thoughts...

Have a splendid week xx

INSA inspired!

Hey readers, this set of nails were inspired by the great graffiti artist INSA. I love his use of bold prints and bright colours. This particular piece of art is one of my favourites. Bottoms and legs .

I discovered INSA art via Sophy Robson and the competition they had going a few months back which I entered. Unfortunately I didn't win but to be honest I was quite new to the nail art game and there were amazing entries compared to mine. Grace @DecoNails was the winner and well deserved at that! Her designs were so intricate, thought out and executed to the T.

Check out my recent design and competition entry... Let me know your thoughts? Xx

Love for JA!

Hello Readers, this manicure was inspired by the Olympics and my love for the Jamaican track team... Ombre, Jamaican flag colours and sweet hearts. Playing with my new set of Nail Art pens to create a more intricate design.

So proud to be part Jamaican! Go Team Jamaica...

I hope you like? Let me know your thoughts?

Have a fab day! Xx

Ring around the Roses...

Hey Nailettes, at the minute I am in love with floral designs. Probably the quickest styled nail art to do, well for me! I studied Graphic design way back when and had a slight obsession with floral design then too. Scribbling in my A3 art pads experimenting with different mediums. Then I discovered nails and use them as little sketch books...

I love drawing roses as you can really experiment with colours and texture. I like to outline the roses making them look a little more like Graphic art or an Illustration.

Take a peek at my designs and let me know your thoughts!

Happy Sunday to you all Xx

Hawaii Hula!

Hey blogettes, hope all are well. London has finally seen some sun and at great temperatures too. Because of this I decided to do some fun summer nails... hence Hawaii Hula!

I ordered a beautiful Neon Salmon Pink polish by China Glaze called Flip Flop Fantasy and couldn't wait to create something with it as soon as it arrived.

I am still in love with the Ombre effect and thought this would look great for summer using 'Flip Flop Fantasy' and a couple of older polishes by Essie. I'm loving clashing pinks and oranges together. I think they look stunning.

I don't usually do the gimmicky styled nails but thought I'd give it a go. So, palm trees, layered polaroids, flying seagulls, random leopard print and a bordered thumb it was. Instead of going harsh using a black striper I opted for the white, making the design a little more subtle. I really wanted the the gorgeous colours on the base to be more prominent.

Take a look and let me know your thoughts. Have a fab weekend xxx

Geometric Squiggles and Shapes!

Looking for inspiration I stumbled upon some great images of a designer at a Fashion week. I have no clue which one. I would need to ask my blogger friend 'Aroundthewaygirl' as she knows all the in and outs of the fashion world.

This particular designer creates fantastic geometric shapes and prints in black and White. I love the effect of monochrome nails, they stand out a mile away and go with absolutely every ensemble.

I also came across one of Stella McCartney's designs, absolutely gorgeous bold black and white print and decided to create a set of nails using the same design.

Take a peek at my set of talons and let me know your thoughts...

Have a great week Nailettes... Xx
