Gold flakes on pastels

While watching 'Genova' on ABC tonight (even with Colin Firth being lovely this was a very unsatisfying movie) I painted my nails in my current favourite ice cream pastels and popped some gold flakes on (craft foil cut into scraps). They are catching the light a bit weirdly here but I reckon they look pretty summertastic & I bet all the mums at the playground tomorrow will be totes jealz. Or something...

I also painted my thumb nail with an Aztec design but it was a bit shoddy. Firstly because it was a bit dark & secondly, even though I waited ages the black ran when I put the top coat on. Devo.



Merry Christmas y'all!!

Btw did anyone see my lovely Christmas nails on tv (Carols in the Domain?) I should have asked the director to do a close up... Next time! X

Christmas nails!!

I am singing at Swingin' Bella Christmas tomorrow night alongside Casey Bennetto & Mike McLeish (both of Keating fame) and Scott Edgar (Tripod). It is going to be very swinging indeed and filled to the brim with good Christmas cheer & toons...

I am also singing in channel 7's Carols in the Domain on Saturday night which is pretty spesh & posh & glam so I have painted my nails a suitably spech/posh/glam red & silver combo. I have kept it nice and classy and there is not a painted snowman in sight... There is also a silver theme to my Linda Britten dress so I will be up there like a painted, oversized bauble. Huzzah!!

(I will try and get a screen shot of the nails in action if possible... x)

Kids party nails!

We are going to our friend Alice's 5th birthday party tomorrow. I am going to do some mini-manis. I need to practice Peppa Pig & Lego apparently... I'm rather fond of these though!

So wrong they're right. Or are they...?

I have been doing lots of searching and pinning (see my pintrest page here) and I have found quite a few examples of either nail art gone wrong or what can only be described as living breathing art.

First off. The Pirate nails. 

Um.. AWESOME!!!

Then, on the other end of the spectrum - Halloween nails. 

I think this shape is called 'The Pooper Scooper'

I'm scared...

I'm not even sure if you could bring these ones through customs...

& I bet her text messages are full of typos...

 And when eating junk food isn't toxic enough.

mmm, reflux...

Finally, for dessert...

I think I may have just been a little bit sick...

Hooray for crazy pants nail art!!
