I’m Catie, a 19 year old from England with a bit of an obsession with nail polish. Being well known for my excessive (and sometimes ridiculous) nail painting, it only seemed fitting to have a blog dedicated to my nails. Nail polishes used are listed underneath the pictures, feel free to ask any questions. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-25072877-2']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

I did this by accident when I was trying to polka dot, but I did them wrong and tried to wipe them off with a tissue but they were already too dry and this is what happened!</p> <p>Basically you paint on your base colour, wait for it to dry then polka dot with your second colour (works well if you press down a little harder than normal). As soon as you’re done, take a tissue and wipe down from your cuticle to the end of your nail in a straight line. And you should get this!</p> <p>I can’t decide if I really like it or not. It’s an interesting look and I thought I’d try something new. It also kind of reminds me of jelly fish? </p>http://nailedin.tumblr.com/post/21440343585http://nailedin.tumblr.com/post/21440343585Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:47:09 +0100rimmelnailsnail polishbeige styletrend spottingpurplechainsprettycutenail artdesign<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m26lvpk6yZ1r1fe2vo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Rimmel - Peppermint</p> <p>The Body Shop - 01 starry night</p> <p>Mattified mint with a <a href="http://nailside.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/tutorial-lightning-bolt-french.html">lightning bolt</a> in a really pretty black with silver flakes and glitter. </p>http://nailedin.tumblr.com/post/20739265828http://nailedin.tumblr.com/post/20739265828Sun, 08 Apr 2012 23:22:00 +0100lightning boltnail polishnailsmintpeppermintgreenpolishmatteblacksilverrimmelthe body shopbody shoplightningprettycute<p>Rimmel Matte Finish :)</p>http://nailedin.tumblr.com/post/20540444210http://nailedin.tumblr.com/post/20540444210Thu, 05 Apr 2012 20:36:25 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1py85NgBy1r1fe2vo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Love me a full set shot.</p>http://nailedin.tumblr.com/post/20190256027http://nailedin.tumblr.com/post/20190256027Fri, 30 Mar 2012 23:24:00 +0100nailsnail polishnailpolishpurplegradientpurple nail polishpurple nailsmatterimmelbarry mcutepretty<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1i10qiFta1r1fe2vo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Mattified version of the <a href="http://nailedin.tumblr.com/post/19955298475/purple-gradient-thumb-to-little-finger-rimmel">previous nails</a>. </p>http://nailedin.tumblr.com/post/19955541402http://nailedin.tumblr.com/post/19955541402Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:43:00 +0100nailsmattematte nailsnail polishpurplegradientpurple nailspurple nailspurple nail polishprettycute<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1i0n712TV1r1fe2vo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Purple gradient!</p> <p>Thumb to little finger</p> <p>Rimmel - Ultra Violet</p> <p>Barry M - Bright Purple</p> <p>Rimmel - Trendspotting</p> <p>Barry M - Red Black</p> <p>Any black.</p> <p>This isn’t very summery to go with the amazing weather we’re having in England at the moment, but the only other gradient I could make of pinks into oranges just wouldn’t quite work.
