WAH Look #18 - Sneaker

These nails are so much fun :) It just shows you that nails can be anything. Not everyone is content with a classic french manicure, and that is so ok!

Today's look is called Sneaker, and is super colourful and preppy. The book calls for bright primary colours, but of course you could use any colour you like - 

I used Barry M Black, Yellow, Spring Green and Cobalt Blue, 17 Knockout Red, Illamasqua Scorch for the white tips and a white and a black nail art pen.

They actually took no time really to do. I was expecting them to take a while but really the longest part was getting the white tips to a shape I was happy with!

I love how instantly recognisable they are too.

Hope you like these, see you Friday for number 19!

WAH Look #17 - Script Writing

This look just doesn't seem right on a Monday!!

Today is look number 17 from WAH book 2 and is called Script Writing. When I was scanning the book when I first bought it, I was not looking forward to this one. Nice clean, flowing lines with a nail art pen? Yeah, ok! 

But to be honest I found this one easier than the more detailed looks and it's long, continuous strokes makes working with a pen a lot easier.

Just two things required for this mani. A blue base polish for which I used Illamasqua Noble, and a white nail art pen.

Like I said, this one came out much better than expected :)

I hope you're all having a lovely Monday.......!

WAH Look #16 - Python Skin

The next look in the WAH series, is another fabulous take on animal print - Python Skin! Sometimes, I wonder where they get so many inspired ideas from. The place is full of creativity.

I feel much better about look #16 than #15 ;-)

The look calls for an iridescent green base. I could only use Illamasqua Radium! I also used Barry M Racing Green and a black nail art pen.

I really love this look. It took a little while to get used to, but once I got into the rhythm of the pattern it was loads of fun to do.

The colours are just perfect too, and I'd like to try it with a red and cream base too. Another mani from WAH that had so many possibilities!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend, and I'll see you on Monday,

Look #15 - Palm Leaf

Look number 15 from the second WAH Nails book is called Palm Leaf. I've got admit I thought it was something else when I first glanced at it! ;-)

I'm going to be honest, I really struggled with this one. I just couldn't get the leaf to look right, which is why they look different on every nail! Still, I had fun when I did them and that's what it;s all about :-)

I used Models Own Toxic Apple for the neon base and Barry M Black with a small nail art brush.

Like I say, I found this look difficult, but I'm quite pleased to say it's my first go at anything remotely like this!

Let me know if you try this one, as I'd love to see how much better you all do :-)

WAH Look #14 - Paisley

I'm back again! Feeling much better and ready to get stuck back into the WAH Nails Book of Downtown Girls :-)

Today we're onto look number 14, Paisley- 

I think this one turned out pretty well to be honest! Another one where my nails needed to be a bit longer I think, just to be able to get the full effect of the pattern.

A bit fiddly, but I think the effect is great yet again! Another fabulous idea from the WAH team.

I used Nails Inc. Westminster and a white nail art pen.
