Hi There
Today I have done Chevron Neon Nails
Let's get started
Here are the materials I used
From left to right Creative Shop Stamper and Scraper, Esmeltes Da Kelly Stamping polish in Dolly, China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely, Magpie Glitter in Darcy, ASP Wow It's Dry Topcoat and Mo You London Artist 17 plate
I started by painting all my nails with 3 coats of China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely. If you prefer you can do 1 coat of a white polish and then put your neon colour over the top. I would recommend that if you are doing this design on your natural nails that you use a base coat. I am wearing enhancements so I didn't use one.
I then topcoated all my nails using ASP Wow it's Dry Topcoat. I then used the Magpie Glitter in Darcy and an old makeup brush to press the glitter into the topcoat on my ring finger and it looked like this
I then added 2 coats of ASP Wow it's dry topcoat to the ring finger to make sure that the nail was smooth and ready for stamping.
Next I took my Mo You London Artist 17 nail plate and using Esmeltas Da Kelly stamping polish in Dolly and my Creative Shop Stamper and Scraper I stamped the Chevron and half moon design onto my nails.
This is the finished design
Don't forget to topcoat your design and cap the free edge
Hope you like this design

Hi There
Today I would like to dedicate this design to my sister as we both loved She-Ra when we were younger and we love her even more now lol.
Let's get started
Here are the materials I used
From left to right China Glaze Wanderlust, OPI Just Can't Cope-acabana, Kiko black polish 275, OPI You're So Vanilla, Avon Metallics Gold Leaf, Avon Metallics Platinum Petal, Avon Metallics Arctic Steel OPI Alpine Snow, OPI Fashion A Bow, Morgan Taylor Fame Game, China Glaze Boho Blues, ASP Wow It's Dry Top Coat, Sugar Bubbles SB017 nail plate and Uber Chic 3-03 plate. I also used my Fab Ur Nail stamper and my Creative Shop Stamper.
I started by painting all the nails white using OPI Alpine Snow
Next I took a piece of scrap paper and my China Glaze Boho Blues and China Glaze Wanderlust and put a few drops of each on the piece of paper I then took my stamper and smooshed it into the poishes and then immediately stamped it onto the nails. I did this on all the nails I kept smooshing until I was happy with the design and it looked like this
I then took my Morgan Taylor Fame Game and went over all the nails with a very light coat as it is glittery and I didn't want to loose the design I had just done. I then used ASP Wow it's Dry Top Coat to smooth everything out and protect the design.
Now for the stamping I took my Uber Chic 3-03 and stamped the image of the dots onto all the fingers except the ring finger using Avon Metallics in Platinum Petal. I then used the Uber Chic 3-03 plate again and Avon Metallics in Arctic Steel to stamp the corner stripes onto the ring finger.
Now I stamped the image of She-Ra onto my stamper using Kiko black polish in 275. I had to shrink the image as the original was too large for the nail
I coloured her in using OPI You're So Vanilla for the skin, OPI Just Can't Cope-acabana for her hair, OPI alpine Snow and Avon Metallics in Gold Leaf for her clothes and OPI Fashion A Bow for the ruby in her head dress. When this was dry I stamped it onto the ring finger over the stripes and this is the fininshed result
I hope you like the design as much as I do
Thank You for reading

Hi There
I just got my delivery from Rainbow Connection and this idea had already popped into my mind when I saw the plate. Tank Girl Camoflage nails.
Let's get started I hope you enjoy.
Here are the materials I used
From left to right OPI Matte Top Coat, OPI You're So Vanilla, Kiko Black 275, OPI Christmas Gone Plaid, Mundo Da Unas Neon Pink (29), Ruby Wing Kitten Heels, Fab Ur Nails Stamper, Creative Shop Stamper and Scraper, OPI Alpine Snow, ASP Wow It's Dry Top Coat, Sugar Bubbles Plate SB017 and Fab Ur Nails Fun 19 plate.
Let's get into the design
First of all I painted all the nails with 2 coats of OPI's You're So Vanilla
When dry I Stamped using Fab Ur Nails Plate Fun 19 and OPI Christmas Gone Plaid and used the camoflage image on the top right of the plate. It looked like this
I then used the same image but I used Kiko black polish 275. I turned the image upside down as not to cover the green, you should now have something like this.
Next I used ASP Wow It's Dry Top Coat to protect the stamping underneath. I now did the decal using Sugar Bubbles plate SB017 and I used the image of Tank Girl. I coloured her in using OPI You're So Vanilla for the skin, Ruby Wing Kitten Heels for her hair and OPI Alpine snow for the cigarette this is what it looked like on the stamper
I had to shrink the image as it was too big for the nail.
Whilst the decal was drying, I used Mundo Da Unas Neon Pink (29) to stamp the words Tank Girl on the ring finger using Sugar Bubbles SB017 plate again.
Now that the decal was dry I stamped the decal onto the middle nail
Finally I wanted to do a matte top coat but as most of you know they tend to smudge the stamped design so I top coated my design with ASP Wow It's Dry Top Coat first and then when this was dry I went over with OPI Matte Top Coat.
This is the finished design, I love this as I was a child that grew up in the 80s and when I first saw this film I was in love with it immediately. Hope you like the design as much as I do
Thanks For Reading

Hi There
Hope you all have had a good day. Today in Yorkshire it has been the first day of summer it has been hot and sunny so I wanted to do some nail art.
I decided to use pigments and polish and stamping to make some summery nails
These are the materials I used for the design
From left to right I used my creative shop stamper and scraper, Seche Vite top coat, Kiko black polish number 275, Gelish Top It Off, Gelish gel polish in One Cool Cat, Gelish gel polish in You Glare, I Glow, Gelish gel polish in Sea Foam, Gelish gel polish in Arctic Freeze, Gelish gel polish in My Carriage Awaits, Uber Chic plates 1-01, 1-02, 1-03, 2-03 and pigments in colours Neon Orange, Neon Green, Neon Yellow, Neon Pink and Neon Blue
I first started by creating acrylic nails on my nail trainer I went for a coffin shape
Next I painted all the nails a different colour I painted my thumb in Gelish polish Sea Foam, My index finger I painted in Gelish My Carriage Awaits. My middle finger I painted with Gelish You Glare I Glow, my ring finger I painted with Gelish One Cool Cat and the little finger I painted using Gelish in Arctic Freeze
As you can see the colours aren't exactly neon so I took my neon pigments and went over each colour with them as the polish was gel I left the tacky layer on the polish and took a soft brush and dabbed it in the neon pigment and then patted it onto the relevant nail. I used neon green on the thumb, neon orange on the index finger, neon pink on the middle finger, neon blue on the ring finger and neon yellow on the little finger.
I then top coated all the nails with Gelish Top It Off to seal in the pigments
Now I get to play with the stamping. I used Uber Chic Plate 1-03 on my thumb and stamped using KIko black polish number 275 and used the image of the large open flower. For my index finger I used black Kiko polish and Uber Chic plate 1-01, I used the leafy pattern. For my middle finger I used Kiko black polish and Uber Chic Plate 1-02 and I used the image of the rose. For my middle finger I used black Kiko polish and Uber Chic plate 2-03 I used the image of the palm trees. For my little finger I used black Kiko polish and Uber Chic plate 1-01 and used the line with the heart on it . When the design was dry I top coated it using Seche Vite.This is the finished design
What do you think I think the colours are very summery and the stamping plates stamp excellently. One reason why I used these plates is that I had bought them and had never gotten around to trying them but I am very happy with the result.
Thanks for Reading

Hi There
Today I had an idea and had to try it out straight away and I am pleased to say it was sort of a success.
Let's get started
Here are the materials I used
So from left to right I used Seche Vite (I love this product), Kiko Black Polish number 275, China Glaze Lotus Begin, China Glaze Intelligence, Integrity and Courage, OPI Alpine Snow, Morgan Taylor Fame Game, DRK Nail Plate XL Designer 1 and a printed image of anything you want. I picked a fairy silhouette.
To start I painted my index middle and little fingers white using OPI Alpine Snow and my ring finger black using Kiko number 275
I then cut out my design
I stuck it to my nail whilst the black polish was still tacky and top coated to secure it using Seche Vite
Next I turned my attention to the other fingers which I had painted white. I wanted them to blend in with the ring finger so I took my Creative Shop Scraper and splogged some China Glaze Lotus Begin and some China Glaze Intelligence, Integrity and Courage and then took the Creative Shop Stamper and blended the colours together on the scraper
I then stamped this onto my three white nails and used Seche Vite top coat to smooth everything out it looked like this
Next I used Morgan Taylor Fame Game to add some sparkle to these nails. I also used a dotting tool and striper brush to add a little of the Morgan Taylor Fame Game polish to the black nail
Lastly I took my Kiko black polish in number 275 and my DRK XL Designer 1 plate and stamped on my index, middle and little fingers and finished with Seche Vite top coat
This is the finished design
I wanted the stamping on different areas of the nail that is why the whole nail isn't stamped on my middle or little fingers as I wanted to see the pattern I had created below the stamping.
Thank you for reading
Hope you enjoyed and try this idea for yourselves

Hi There
I just thought I would show all of you the nails I have done on myself today. They are acrylics and I was going to stamp on them but I can't decide what I want on them so I have left them as they are for now
So here is the image
I have used NSI Rose Blush for the nail bed, Crystal Nails acrylic powder in number 401 for the tip and then NSI Totally Clear acrylic powder over the top to protect the colour. I then used 2 coats of Glaze n Go by NSI t give the design a nice shine.
I have to add that although the tip does look black it is actually a dark sparkly purple which is very pretty
Have a lovely evening

Hi There
Today I was playing in my nail room and I came up with this nail design
I hope you like it
Here is what I used
So from left to right I have my Creative Shop stamper and scraper, Odyssey Nails Coloured Acrylic in Latino from the Diva Collection (if you are using polish just use something that matches the colours, you don't have to use what I am), I used Organic Nails Acrylic Powder in Crystal Clear, KIko black polish number 275 and Uber Chic Nail Plate 1-02
I started by creating a nail using a nail tip on my practise hand (Hilary) and Organic Nails acrylic powder in Crystal Clear.
I then filed and shaped the nail and used my Odyssey Coloured Acrylic in Latino from the Diva Collection and covered the whole nail in it (it is a gorgeous sparkly red colour although it looks pink on the picture, so if you wanted to use polishes maybe China Glaze Ruby Pumps would be a good substitute). I then filed and shaped again and covered it with 2 coats of Glaze n Go by NSI
Next I took my Kiko black polish number 275 and my Uber Chic Plate 1-02 and used the roses image in the top left corner to stamp on the nail. I had to stretch the stamper as the image wasn't wide enough and as the image wasn't long enough either I added a black french tip using the Kiko black polish
This is the final result
I love this design it is lovely and girly but not too over the top
What do you think
Thank you for popping by
Enjoy the rest of your weekend
