I ENJOY WALKIN CAMDEN MARKET IN THE AFTERNOON ~

London is definitely the city that is easy to do an inspired nail art for when you go there. I went months ago and god I really like this city. This was my second time and I feel like there is literally endless things to do in London.

I have to say that I'm proud of this nail art, I reproduced an oldie of mine. It's kinda challenging to do an old nail art of yours, like will you do it better than back then. I would say that I outdid myself. After all, we're our best competitor lol.

I think that it was the first time I used properly a long liner, it’s funny when you think that I’ve been doing my nails for more than 10 years. There is always first times I guess lol. Usually, I use a tiny detail brush but for this one the liner was more appropriate.

CHERRY CHERRY BOOM BOOM ~

Here’s the perfect spring nail art! It will make you want to do a picnic in a prairie. I did gingham pattern on my pointer. fingernail, cherries on my middle fingernail, bows on my ring fingernail and dots on my pinky fingernail. What better than a polish called “Be Cherry” to draw cherries lol ?

This kind of mix’n’match design is completely what I liked to do when I first started nail art. I did a similar mani some months ago but honestly that was kinda a fail especially for the gingham design. Every now and then, I love to go back to my first loves, the things I used to do when I was a newbie in the nail art world.

Polishes I used :

Essie : Be Cherry!

Essie : Need A Vacation

BLUE SKY ~

Another nail art to celebrate spring! For this mani, I decided to do the sky and everything you can see what you look it up. So I did a kit, some rainbows (yeah because one is not enough), a sun, bees (because queen B) and on all my nails I did some clouds (because cloud 9 because Superstore).

I surely picked out the perfect nail polish for this design because its literally called “Sky Blue”.

Polishes I used :

Mavala : Sky Blue

Essie : Join The Club

Essie : On The Roadie

Essie : Be Cherry!
