Weekend Manicure- Checkerboard Nails!




Okay so you've all probably guessed... I LOVE nail art! Trying out new and funky designs is one of my favourite things to do! My friends are always happy to help out because they get to be my hand models for new ideas LOL

Instagram and twitter are great #inspiration for new ideas. If you hashtag '#nailart',  '#naildesigns' or anything along those lines loads of beautiful and colourful designs will pop up on your screen. You tube is great for tutorials! 

 I bought acrylic paint a while ago and have been doing a few more detailed designs and here is the latest...


I bought the WAH NAILS book of nail art which inspired this cooolio piece:)
This is a step by step tutorial on how to create it yourself.



After filling in the squares I originally marked out with my black acrylic paint I went over the lines again to make it look more even.
It was the first time I used acrylic paint (I bought a mini set in tiger for 4 euro!  #bargain) and thought it was great because it dried in so fast! 

Tip of the Week:
Whatever you do during the week make sure you take some self care time out for yourself:) Do something you love it could be read a book, paint your nails, take a bath or watch a movie!

SJP Oscar De La Renta dress inspired nail design!

 
The theme for this years Met Gala was dedicated to America's first couturier, Chares James, which meant it was an extremely glamorous night!
When I seen pictures of Sarah Jessica Parkers Oscar De La Renta dress I thought it was very Carrie Bradshaw of her! It was black and ivory with a windowpane design at the back of the skirt. I am a massive fan of 'Sex in the City' and  it reminded me of the time her (Carrie Bradshaw not SJP) Russian Lover (lol) gave her a gift of a pink cocktail Oscar De La Renta dress!

Anyone remember this episode....
As they ate 'French fries' in black tie attire, how romantic...

 
 
 
 
I seen a cool nail design inspired by this fabulous dress and decided to give it ago. It turned out a little something like this...
