Lana Del Rey Inspired Nails



 

Did these free hand last night but I don't have thin nail art brushes so they're a little messy (hence the smaller images haha!). Not bad for a first attempt though. Also the first time I filed my nails into points rather than the normal rounded/squoval shape. I quite like! I'm calling these 'Short Style Del Reys', cos I couldn't cope with Long Style ones!

I used Revlon's Gray Suede as the nude base (bought from Poundland!), with Revlon Red and Topshop's Silver Bullet for the tips. And stuck a little diamante on the thumbs for extra glam fun.

Oh hello

I thought I'd start this up again. So, let's go.
Here's some photos of my nails recently. Woo!

 Free manicure I received at the Bourjois Boutique pop-up shop in Shoreditch last Sunday by a lovely girl who works for the amazing  Sophy Robson. Not sure what happened where that little gap is by the black, but I filled it in with Pink Grapefruit by No7, which is the same shade as the pink she used (can't remember the name!) Gotta say I loved this manicure! It's chipping now, but lasted well for the week.
