ANZAC Day 2013 - Lest We Forget

Hey everyone :)

In case you didn't already know, on April 25 New Zealand and Australia celebrate ANZAC Day. For more details on what this is, read here. It is a day to remember and pay respect to the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought in Gallipoli in World War One. 

I decided to pay my respects through nail art, and created a design based on this image from the RSA website (see below).

Here is my recreation!

Polishes used:
- Love and Beauty Sky Blue (base)
- Chi Chi Va Va Va Voom (poppies)
- CR Color 57 (black dots on poppies)
- Meizilan Nail Design Taiwan nail art pen in unnamed dark green (stems of poppies) and white (lettering)
- OPI Top Coat

Apologies for picture quality, I had to take this picture under artificial light due to it already being dark outside.

First Nail Art Post! 31 Day Challenge - Day One - Red (Comic Book)

Are you ready for my first nail art post? I thought I would start with the 31 Day Challenge (find it here), although it will be occasionally interrupted by other nail designs that I feel inspired to do.

Day 1 - Red

I decided to do Comic Book Nails as my Red nails after seeing pictures online and falling in love with the design. I take no credit for the original idea for this design, and the picture I imitated is here.

Here is my attempt!

Apologies for picture quality, I am still working out how exactly I am going to take pictures for this blog. I just love this design so much and I hope you guys like it too!

Polishes used:

- OPI You Only Live Twice

- Meizilan Nail Design Taiwan nail art pens, black and white (not sure of the exact name of these)

- OPI Top Coat
