As usual I started out with one coat of OPI - Nail Envy, followed by three thin coats of OPI - Alpine Snow. I didn't have any striping tape so I had to use my striping brush to create the red stripes, I'm pretty pleased with how straight they are but I have to remember to invest in some tape for future manis!

Where's Wally Nail Art
So the other night I headed out for a Where's Wally vs Smurf's party. I decided to go as Wally so naturally I painted him onto my nails.
As usual I started out with one coat of OPI - Nail Envy, followed by three thin coats of OPI - Alpine Snow. I didn't have any striping tape so I had to use my striping brush to create the red stripes, I'm pretty pleased with how straight they are but I have to remember to invest in some tape for future manis!

Burberry Inspired Nails
So the other day I was looking through the nail tags on Instagram for some inspiration and I saw these awesome Burberry inspired nails. I looked up some more Burberry patterns online and then came up with these awesome nails!
Matte Shiny
As you can see from the above picture I decided to use a matte top coat as I feel it make the whole design look a sleeker.
As usual I used OPI - Nail Envy as my basecoat, then painted on two thin coats of OPI - Barefoot in Barcelona, and finally topped it off, first with Seche Vite and then with Matte About You by Essie. The design was painted on using acrylic paint and a nail striping brush.
Dont forget to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Bloglovin'!
