Sorry I've been unable to post for a while. My internet for the month was all used up so I couldn't upload any files.
Anyway, I've got internet access at Uni, so I'll post this now. More after a picture.

The inspiration for these nails came from one nail to rule them all. I love her blog and it provides some good inspiration for me. Of course, I'm nowhere near as good as she is, but I quite liked this design. The only thing I would have done different is painted the yellow over a layer of white first as the polish I used was quite sheer and I had to use about 6 layers to get the coverage I wanted.
I think using actual nail art supplies might have also helped, especially with the white lines, but I hope to fix this in the coming days as I finally ordered some nail art supplies from the born pretty store. I've heard some great stuff about their products, so can't wait for the stuff I've ordered to come and hopefully improve my nail art exponentially.
Oh for the polishes I used, I don't know all thei names off the top of my head but:

Oh for the polishes I used, I don't know all thei names off the top of my head but:
- The Yellow is Revlon's Sunshine Sparkle (about 5 to 6 coats cos of the sheerness :P)
- The Purple is Covergirl's Grapevine
- The White is Sinful Colours Professional in Snow Me White
- And the green is another Sinful colours polish but I don't know the name off the top of my head.
The other things I'll be working on in the coming days and weeks is my photography (going to be building a lightbox), my watermarking (there are too many currently and it's distracting) and also my nail care routine (as you can see my fingers are a little icky)
So what would you like to see? Just leave me a comment and I'll see what I can do.
