Ciao,
A few months ago I shared a sort of tutorial post on doing cute little polka dot nails and roses, fairly simple nail art designs. Since then I have expanded my portfolio if you like and have now attempted various other patterns and designs and still have many more I would like to attempt. I'm not going to pretend to be some sort of expert and do tutorial posts but I just wanted to write about this on my blog since I have bored my family and friends to death with all my pictures on Instagram! I have been asked by close family and friends to do their nails and have been told that I should start charging people but there is no way I would feel comfortable charging people! My skills are still firmly in the DIY bracket, nowhere near the level of technique in professional salons! But you know what they say...practice makes perfect. I am now going to bombard you with photos...
1. My sisters pink, white & blue floral nails.
2. My best friends red corner daisy nails. (These are difficult to photograph)
4. My lilac daisy nails
5. My turquoise nails with an accent anchor nail
6. My beige & blue leopard print nails
7. My white & pink polka dot nails with a corner daisy accent nail

8. My pastel converse nails
As you can see I have mastered flowers and I'm able to do these on both hands despite barely being able to hold a pen with my left hand! The converses were another thing altogether, I managed to do my left hand pretty well but trying to replicate it on my right hand with my left hand was unbelievably difficult. I nearly gave up and removed the other hand. I prevailed and managed to complete my right hand but it was very messy! I use nail dotting pens and have recently purchased the Barry M nail art pens in black, white and silver and they have opened a whole new avenue of nail art opportunities.
Ciao for now...
P.S. Apologies for the mismatched pictures, my aim is to take better photographs of my nail art for the next blog...
