Handmade Rings to Match your Nails!

I've been working on a new little project. I used to make jewellery years ago (I think I've had a go at every craft going - soap making, fimo modelling, ceramic painting, card making, scrap-booking... the list goes on!). I decided to make a few rings made to match nails. These are my first attempts but I think they are super cute!

The last photo was modelled by my cousin, Clare who today asked me to be her Maid of Honour today! So exciting! Her gels have been on for a week now and no chips in sight :)

Spring 2014 Trends - The Moon Mani

I absolutely love the new moon mani trend that will be the next big thing on the nail scene this spring. It's such a simple yet striking look.

Here is a white version and a black version done over IBD Seyshell Pink Just Gel Polish.

Gelish Sugar daddy with Gold Glitter!

My cousin wanted a touch of glitter so she opted for Gelish Sugar daddy with gold glitter applied. This is such a lovely colour combo!

Black Sparkly Gel Nails

I had three sets of sparkly black gels over the festive period. I love black on short nails.

Cath Kidston Nails - Abstract Roses & Polka Dots!

I love this set of Cath Kidston inspired gel nails as my client opted for the pretty abstract print on her rings fingers so I got to add a touch of lemon.

I absolutely love my pretty grey gel. It looks gorgeous on it's own and even better with a layer of glitter on top. I also love the combination of pink and grey so was pretty chuffed when my lovely client Becky opted for this colour scheme.

Cath Kidston Nails - Blue Roses, Pink Roses & Polka Dots!

I love this set of Cath Kidston inspired gel nails. I love how the blues and pinks work so well together to give a really bright, vibrant effect.

The ones below were some I did for my sister. She actually asked for blue roses so I have her to thank for this design!

Cath Kidson Nails - Purple Sparkles with Pink Roses

Since I posted a picture of the Cath Kidston inspired nails I did for my mum a few weeks ago, I have had lots of requests for them!

Here are a set of purple sparkly gels with pink roses on the ring fingers and thumbs.

Cath Kidston Inspired Nails

I can't believe I've fallen behind with my blog after promising myself I would keep on top of it! These past few weeks have been pretty crazy. My sister posted a picture of some rockstar gel toes I did for her on her facebook page and I suddenly started getting a few enquiries from it. I figured it couldn't hurt to set up a Facebook page to try and generate a little more interest and slowly things have kind of snowballed. I've done a fair few sets of gel nails and rockstar toes these past 3 weeks let me tell you! To think I wasn't even going to start working on 'real' clients until I qualify in June! I'm so glad it's all happened so fast though as I am loving it!

I created these Cath Kidston inspired nails for my mum. This being my first attempt at them, I think I did a good job. I posted the pic on my facebook page and started getting lots of requests for them so I have lots of photos to share with you all.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say Happy New Year to you all (not that I think anyone reads this ha ha) but who knows, hopefully someday I will have a couple of followers to chat to! May 2014 bring you everything your heart desires xox
