When I
tweeted about a certain new video game the week before last, you may have thought I was joking when I hinted that I wouldn't be around much in the coming days. I seriously wasn't joking! I've been out of commission for a while (although not just
because gaming) and for that, I'm sorry. Noone wants to hear my excuses and I don't really feel like bringing the mood down around here so let's leave it at that. I'll try to do better next month!
For this nail art, I'm borrowing heavily from
an art design that I did over a year ago for the 31 Day Challenge 2013. I can't believe it was that long ago! I didn't even have to go back to the
pictures or watch
the tutorial to remember the pattern. I loved it so much that it's been ingrained on my brain since the day I first pained it. I switched it up a bit this time with different patterns on all the nails and I had so much fun doing it. It's definitely reignited my nail art spark.
In other news (still related to this nail art), I stumbled across one of those incredible odds-and-ends beauty stores in
Bridgend over the weekend that seem to pop up all over the place before disappearing within a few months. I can never walk past one of these stores without going in. EVER! This one had a whole wall of neatly stacked nail polish, which I really appreciated because normally you have to dive through huge bins full of bottles to find the good ones! I restrained myself and left the building with only 5 bottles and a few make-up items. Two of them feature here today!
I used
Sally Hansen Blinding Blue and
Sally Hansen Coat of Arms as my base colours. For the lines, I used
NYC Full Metal Jacket with a skinny brush
from Winstonia. It's all topped with a coat of
Glisten & Glow HK Girl.
I think I died and went to heaven. They have all my favourites!! pic.twitter.com/J3Jcwx2kxw
