26 Great Nail Art Ideas - The end of summer

Oh..mmm.geee it's finally Friday! My work colleague has been off this week and it's been soooo lonely sat on our desk on my own lol so I am glad this week is over! Today's post is another 26 Great Nail Art Ideas and this theme was a bit random...The end of summer.  I like posts like these as they are totally down to your interpretation. So off to Google I went to get some ideas and came across a gorgeous picture that I based my mani on!

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Colour Explosion

Happy Friday guys and welcome to another 26 Great Nail Art Ideas! Today's prompt is colour explosion. I'm not really sure this can be classed as a colour "explosion" but my thought behind it was to use a pastel base and then add some neon stamping!

26 GNAI - Work appropriate nail art

When it comes to my nails and work I am very lucky as I can do what I want. Heck.. this week I had one polish on the fingers of my swatch hand, a nail art design on my thumb and then a different colour on my Cindy! It's safe to say I have freedom when it comes to my nails at work but some people aren't that lucky. So for today's 26 GNAI the theme is work appropriate nail art.

26 GNAI - Pastel to Bold with something on top

Wooo it's Easter Friday and that means I've had the day off work and chocolate lol! I hope you've had a great day and are looking forward to the nice long weekend. I have a new mani today as part of 26 Great Nail Art Ideas and the theme was pastel to bold with something on top. I don't actually have neons that would have been suitable for the pastels I wanted to use so I kept it simple with similar colours. 

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Green Freestyle

Time for another 26 great nail art ideas and I kept this one really simple...green freestyle. I could have done anything but I wanted a nice easy mani for this post.

26 GNAI - Spring Animals

Don't you think that we sometimes take ourselves too serious?! So with that in mind I wanted to do some silly nail art with this week's 26 Great Nail Ideas prompt, Spring Animals. I did a fluffy chicken and a very questionable sheep lol!

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Mixed Tape Mani

Happy Friday guys!! How quick has this week gone?! I was quite excited to share today's post with you as it's something a bit different. The prompt for this weeks 26 Great Nail Art Ideas is Mixed Tape Mani. If you're like me you probably would have thought of nail vinyls and striping tape but my lovely friend Kirsty of Fairytales Nails thought of a mix tape! You know...like the old cassette tapes we used to listen to music on back when we were kids! We decided to do a triplet mani and each do the same nail design. Unfortunately Becca, from A Certain Becca Nails, and myself didn't have any stamping plates with tapes on them :(

So we went with plan B!! 

26 GNAI - Blue Floral

I love today's 26 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge...Blue floral. If you know me, you know I love blues so I couldn't wait to do the mani for today's prompt. I loved it so much I kept it on for my full working week! 

26 GNAI - Red and Pink

*Press Samples

Happy Friday everyone! I have a very cutesy 26 Great Nail Art Ideas post for you today. It's all about red and pink if you can't guess. In the week before I did this mani, Nail-Mail contacted me and asked if I wanted to review some vinyls and then sent me a few different ones. I just had to use the cute Floating Hearts for this mani as it was just perfect timing!

26 GNAI-Pastel Christmas

So it's Christmas Eve tomorrow...are you prepared?! All my presents were wrapped up last weekend, I can't be doing with all the last minute rush! It's my last 26 Great Nail Art Ideas of 2016 today and we're ending it with something fun...Pastel Christmas!

  

26 GNAI - Halloween in the wrong colours

I'm not much of Halloween lover and I never really go all out with my nails but this weeks 26 GNAI was Halloween in the wrong colours and it was so much fun doing this! I wanted something easy and simple so I went for pastel sparkly ghosts.

40 GNAI - Peach and Lemon - Gradient

*Press samples

This week's instalment of 40 GNAI is a bit delayed due to my Uber Chic review that I had to post on Friday. If you haven't checked it out then I seriously think you should! anyway, back to the task at hand! This week's theme was peach or lemon and I had to do a gradient. So I actually used both colours and did a stamping gradient over a gradient.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - 3 shades of red/orange and Circles

Time for another instalment of 40 Great Nail Art Ideas. I wasn't keen on this mani I came up with. The colour theme was 3 shades of red/orange and I had circles for my pattern. I think my idea was good but the colours didn't really go together. 

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Red - Accent Nail

So I wasn't sure where I was going to end up with this weeks 40 Great Nail Art Ideas theme as it is not a colour I'm overly fond of. The colour was red and my prompt was accent nail. I had a few ideas and I was actually super happy with how this mani turned out!

Cirque Colors Concord with Uber Chic feather decals #pcawreness15

I was a bit late with posting my Instagram mani for #pcawareness15 so I thought I would use it for today's blog post.  The theme was wings/feathers and I decided to stick with just feathers.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Orange, Purple and Green - Tape

I'm back for another instalment of Crumpet's Nail Tart Presents 40 Great Nail Art Ideas, and this weeks colour theme is Orange, Purple and Green. I know what you're thinking, great combo for Halloween nails, but not when you get stuck with Tape mani as your pattern prompt :/

Mermaid Bestie Twin nails with Elaine Nails

Today I have another bestie twin nails mani to show you but this one is a bit different. Elaine from Elaine Nails announced on her Instagram that she would be taking part in a monthly nail art challenge for September but to make it a bit more tougher she wanted to do bestie twin nails for every theme with other bloggers. I was one of the ladies that she asked and I was thrilled!

Essence Summer Nail Art Blogger Challenge

*Press Sample

The lovely guys at Essence sent me a goodie bag to create a mani for their Summer Nail Art Blogger Challenge. They sent three polishes, a nail file, a dotting tool, neon nail stickers, 3 sponges and a striping brush.
