Glitter Ombré Leopard Print Nail Art

These are my first set of uv gel nails since qualifying last week, I trained in all aspects of Nail care but uv gel nails have to be my fave ! 
With these I painted the whole nail white, then the bottom semi circle dark blue, then the middle with the blue glitter & went over with the leopard design.
I loved these & they sparkled so much in real life pity it didn't show up too much in the picture :(

Tartan Take 2 ||Nail Art

I've attempted tartan nails art before & I'll be honest, it's a tricky one ! I'd say this attempt is better than my first, just need to perfect those damn straight lines !
It's literally your base coat- I chose a plain red from George @ Asda ( surprisingly good )
Painted two vertical line & four horizontal lines with a black nail art pen
Then a white cross- slightly off centre in white
Then finished with a top coat :)

Pastel Nail Art With Leopard Underside

So I've seen and done the "Loubiton" nails & though I'd mix it up by painting a leopard pattern on the underneath of my nails.
This only really works with false nails as the underneath needs painting before being applied.
Really easy though just paint the underneath of your flase nail about 2 3rds down with your desired colour/pattern apply your false nail then paint as usual :)

Eyeballs & Bones || Halloween Nail Art & Make Up

I sported these bad boys at my 2nd Halloween party this year - my intention was to go as Edward Scissor hands but as Royal Mail screwed my delivery up my costume never arrived so last minute I decided to be Lady Gaga from the born this way video.

These nails have no relevance to lady Gaga but I think there great & gory !

Halloween Nail Art - Cobwebs

It's almost that time of year again & to get you in the spirit here's the first of my Halloween Nail Art looks, this is a pretty simple look, that, to be fair can be worn all year round but is great for halloween ! 
You can alter this look to be done on every nail or change the colours although I think the simple black & white is most effective & most versatile !
Colours used :
La Femme : Black
White nail art pen
Rimmel : clear top coat
