So here they are!



Winnie-the-Pooh nails! 
 Pointer- Eeyore
Middle- Tigger
Ring- Pooh
Pinkie- Piglet
Thumb- Pot of Hunny!

Here are some pics with the toy that inspired them:

Yet Another Manicure Inspired by MrCandiipants

So... I have a confession to make. Paula and I are a teeeensy weeeeeensy bit sorta kinda just a little obsessed with Candice from mrcandiipants. Go check her out! You won't regret it. :)


And alas, I did another design inspired by her florals that just use the brushes in the bottles. This was really easy and it's great to do when you're in a rush! All I needed was the polish, no tools required! I even did both hands 'cause it's THAT easy! 


BYEEEE GUYS.

Cheshire Cat!! YAY!

Hello, People of the internet!
It's my turn to post today, so I've got some CHESHIRE CAT NAILS!!

I got the design from Nails By Coewless. I have already done a design inspired by her (the monster nails I posted a couple days ago) so go check her blog out!


I worked really hard on Chesh's face, and it has less detail than the original design by Nailsbycoewless! I wonder how long it took her...
SOOOOOOOOO do you like them? I do! I love Disney, and the Cheshire Cat is my favourite character from Alice in Wonderland, so I felt proud to have him grin happily on my nails! :3


See you next time guys! Enjoy the nails!

Turquoisey...Lasers?

HI. I need help you guys. I've got some nails that I don't know what to call. Take a look for yourself!


They remind me of lasers... but a lot bigger haha. If you haven't noticed, I used the same For Audrey colour that Paula and I are currently obsessing over. ASDFGHJKL THE COLOUR IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL I CAN'T EVEN.


Sooo... These are my turquoisey... lasers? Yeah? YEAH!


Now I have to go do some productive tingz. -_- YAY! EXCITING! Till next time,

Rainbow Lines!

HiHi! I have nails for you today!!
Even though I LOVE these rainbow lines, they did not come from my imagination :( They came from...Sarah's at chalkboardnails!! She is a nail artist Meagan and I obsess over.. 

My nails were not long enough to do as many lines as Sarah (and my polish collection not as big), so I chose my own colours and only used them once on each nail. Not the exact design, but the same idea! I really liked how these turned out, so I hope you do too! 

BYEEEEEE!!

AAAAHHH MONSTERS!!

Heyheyhey! I've got some awesome nail art for you today! These nails took SO LONG to do.  I just couldn't get the shapes right. :S
My personal favourite is... THE KILLER OCTOPUS!
Which is technically not an octopus (five legs). Let's pretend he lost them at war with a killer squid......the octopus won.
Okayyy back to the nails...


These monsters were inspired by Nails by Coewless. She is amazing at nail art, her designs are so clean and precise!
I changed some monsters, and some of the colours, but I originally got the inspiration from Nails by Coewless. If I had to change one thing about these nails, it would be the dots. I decided to add the dots after I did the monsters, so they are JUST A LITTLE BIT MESSED UP. If you are thinking or recreating this design, ADD THE DOTS FIRST. Trust me, it will make it look much cleaner. ;)

Hope you like them anyway!

RAWR. Leopards.

Hey guys. How are you today? That's good. Me too! Anyways... These are leopards I did! They are really easy but still stylish! Leopard prints have become a big trend recently.


I love the colours of these nails. The blue is a dupe of For Audrey(China Glaze). I can't wait until I have my hands on that polish...


For the design, I followed chalkboardnails' tutorial! It was very simple to follow, all you need is some polishes and a toothpick, or dotting tool, or anything that can make dots. :) Try out this design! Hope you guys like it as much as I do!

Party Rock Anthem Nails

Hey guys! These are some nails I did inspired by LMFAO's song "Party Rock Anthem." 


This was one of the first skittle manicures I've done. PRETTY EXCITING. I'm used to making all of my nails the same so this is different for me!
On each nail, I put...
Thumbs-"Party Rock"
Pointer-The Shuffle Bot
Middle-Leopard
Ring-Stick Man Shuffling
Pinkie-Zebra


All of these VIBRANT colours take inspiration from the music video! If you've been living under a rock for the past 2 years, this is the video. ;) Hope you enjoy!

Our First Real Post: Tribals!

HI! (When you see this font, it means that Paula is talking.) For our first post, we both did Tribal Print (inspired by mrcandiipants). We will not always do the same nails we just thought that it would be cool to do coordinated nails for our first post!


I chose to keep the same colours as Candice from mrcandiipants, just not the exact polishes. I stopped biting my nails last year, and sometimes I still do. So they are shorty short and the designs don't last long because I like peeling them off. :)
I hope you like them anyways!


Hey! Meagan here. When you see this magical font, it means Meagan wrote this. For this design, I decided to use neons. I changed up Candice's design a bit but you get the idea.


These were really fun to do and I always admire Candice's intricate designs. I'm SO excited about these. I think I might cry and WAIL when they start to chip.
