Free-hand time! - Sally Hansen Special Colour Blocking

Hey guys!

If you don't already know, I was one of the winners of Sally Hansen NZ's recent I Heart Nail Art colour blocking competition! Because of that, I won heaps of amazing Sally Hansen products, many of which you will no doubt be seeing in blog posts of mine in the future!

One of the colours I received was Kook-A-Mango, and it's just so bright and amazing that I had to do something fun with it. Here is what I came up with:

All of the polishes I used for this design are Sally Hansen products (even the base coat)!

Polishes used:
- Sally Hansen Kook-A-Mango (red base)
- Sally Hansen Gem Crush Cha-Ching! (bottle pictured)
- Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in White
- Sally Hansen Diamond Shine (top coat)

Free-hand Time! - Purple needle dragging

Hey everyone!

It's been ages but I'm back to post more nail art for your enjoyment :)

As you know, I have recently acquired a set of nail art brushes and I am currently experimenting with them. The most recent technique I have tried is needle dragging, which you can find a tutorial for here, but I used a thin paintbrush instead of a needle. I added a glittery coat on top of my design as well to make it more exciting. I didn't have a specific look I was trying to achieve, I just made random swirls and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Here is my finished look:

This was also my first time trying out one of Revlon's scented polishes, and it worked really well. Six days later and my nails still smell nice! I've actually bought three more which should arrive in the mail very soon... :D

Polishes used:

- Revlon Grape Icy (base colour, bottle pictured)

- Love and Beauty Lavender (lighter purple)

- First Glance Lasting Impressions unnamed silver glitter (glitter on top)

- OPI Top Coat

Free-hand Time! - Purple fish scale tips

Hey guys! I know I haven't posted in a really long time but I'm back now and I'm going to queue some posts over the next week to keep the blog posting even when I can't :)

So, recently I bought some nail art brushes from TradeMe and I am trying out different designs in which I can use them. The design below is inspired by this neon scales tutorial by HannahRoxNails (previously pixiepolish), but instead of covering the full nail with scales, I only did scales on the tip.

Here is my design!

They're not perfect, but I'm really happy with how they turned out and I'm sure my brush skills will improve with time!

Polishes used:

- Love & Beauty Lavender (base)

- CR Color 57 (black outlines)

- Chi Chi Boom Boom Boom (to fill in the scales)

- OPI Top Coat

Free-hand Time! - Pink and purple swirls

A few months ago, I bought a sparkly purple polish by Maybelline Mini Colorama called Tutti Frutti on sale at the supermarket... And I love it!!! The only difficult part about wearing it was deciding how to decorate it...

I went with a free-handed pink/purple swirl design which I think complemented Tutti Frutti really nicely.

It's simple, but I really like this design :)

Polishes used:

- Maybelline Mini Colorama Tutti Frutti (sparkly purple base)

- Meizilan Nail Design Taiwan in unnamed magenta (swirls)

- OPI Top Coat
