I have been inspired by other blogs to start doing nail art so thought I’d start my own! Not very good yet but always looking for new ideas and inspiration. Enjoy!Tumblr (3.0; @nailsbysarah)http://nailsbysarah.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d02652bc326d5bc63dc655a72e203cee/tumblr_mi02rmxnf11rx307do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I forgot to post these nails last week. Fierce retro nails! Loved them but they didn’t last very well as there were so many layers of polish. But they looked great while they lasted! x</p>http://nailsbysarah.tumblr.com/post/42743566378http://nailsbysarah.tumblr.com/post/42743566378Sun, 10 Feb 2013 05:35:46 -0500nail artnailsnailartpolishnail polish<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/92c6beb072cf15b3c5a0a5fd71beae0c/tumblr_mi02n6N6w41rx307do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Yesterday I went for a manicure and had OPI gel colour put on instead of just the usual polish and I LOVE it. Although it means I can’t do any nail art, it looks gorgeous. So neat and shiny and I really like the shape they filed my nails into too. Plus it supposedly lasts for two weeks. Amazing! I want my own kit so I can do it myself. Hehe! I’ll let you know how it lasts… x</p>http://nailsbysarah.tumblr.com/post/42743485921http://nailsbysarah.tumblr.com/post/42743485921Sun, 10 Feb 2013 05:33:06 -0500OPI gel colourshellacnailsnail polishnailartnail artmanicure<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/366aaf8adaf303d35313b33673de66b3/tumblr_mgwa2esc3j1rx307do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Pop art nails! I used the tutorial in the amazing Wah nails book to do these. They took forever and my stupid black nail art pen kept leaking but from a distance they look fab! I especially love the pastel colours combo. Another Wah nail tutorial next week I think! x</p>http://nailsbysarah.tumblr.com/post/40958414988http://nailsbysarah.tumblr.com/post/40958414988Sat, 19 Jan 2013 17:49:26 -0500wah nailspop artnailartnail artnailspolishwah<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5a24366d3d77c16ccfd866d098b1701d/tumblr_mgl35x1wPr1rx307do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Glitz and glam!

My first attempt at water marbling and it took me forever! It’s seriously hard to get decent patterns on each nail. But think it’s worth it?! They do look very pretty and I got to use my beautiful hot pink Barry M again. <br/> Hen also did special birthday nails for her friends 16th so well done Hen! <br/> Newspaper nails next I think… x</p>http://nailsbysarah.tumblr.com/post/31292177258http://nailsbysarah.tumblr.com/post/31292177258Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:56:35 -0400nailartnail artnailpolishwatermarblingwater marbling<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9qmusBidf1rx307do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>So here’s my attempt at watercolour nails using the technique from Beauty Geeks.

Here are Hen’s nails from today using a new hot pink Barry M we found. Love love it! It is definitely my new fave polish and I’m looking online right now for the rest of the neon range.

Right hand to follow… <br/> Used the technique from The Beauty Department website which is great but don’t like having to clear my fingers up afterwards - takes ages and just doesn’t look as neat as normal. Maybe I just need practice. Love the look though : ) Did Looby’s with stripes but my matte topcoat had gone a bit yellowly which didn’t go well with the white stripes so might do those again tonight. x</p>http://nailsbysarah.tumblr.com/post/26355781739http://nailsbysarah.tumblr.com/post/26355781739Mon, 02 Jul 2012 12:25:56 -0400nailartnailsgradientombrepolishnail art<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5xphuiKI11rx307do1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Sorry I know this is so boring but far too much going on at school this week so nails simply painted with Rimmel coral romance.
