Laser Nail Art

Evening peeps!

Tonight i wanted to write a blog review about a nail painting technique that I have seen demonstrated by both Cute A.S Nails and Try to be Beautiful blogspots. It is called "Laser nail art".
I absolutely loved both posts I read on them and also the results that were produced so there was only one thing for it, I had to give it a go myself!

I started by painting by nails with 2 coats of Barry M silver foil efects nail varnish / polish. You must make sure you allow this to completely dry before moving into the next step.

Next, cut thin strips of cellotape and stick across your nail as if laser beams. Then use one or two other colours and fill in the gaps that are left around the cellotape? I used Rimmel London I love fruities lasting finish nail varnish in '025 Strawberry fizz' and Rimmel London lycra pro in '393 Desire'.

 Allow this to completely dry before removing the cellotape from your nails. You should be left with a funky pattern like this!

I would love to read your comments or see links to your blogs if you have tried something similar. Hope this has been helpful :-)

Take care guys and thanks for reading.

Yarn Bombing - my yarn bomb is planted!

Can you spot it?!

Hey guys

Just to give you a quick update on my first yarn bomb experience.  I went to a park near me on Friday evening (yep, my life is soooo rock 'n' roll!) and have managed to plant my first ever yarn bomb.

It may not look like much to some, but I am extremely proud of it and felt quite excited to leave it there and wonder what people will think or say when they see it.  I am going to create a second piece now and attach it below to cover the rest of the tree trunk.

I am hoping to go back this evening and check it has survived some pretty horrid weather over the weekend and shall let you know what I find.

All in all, my first yarn bombing experience gets a thumbs up from me! :0)  Feel free to comment below, I look forward to reading some.

Thanks for reading and take care.

Yarn bombing - the next stage of my yarn bomb is complete!

Hey guys,

I just thought I would give you a quick update with where my yarn bomb is at.

As I told you in my last post about yarn bombing, I am going to try my first yarn bomb on a tree in my local park.

I have made my first piece which will be used to go round the trunk of the tree up to where the first branch stems out from. I will then make a further section to join that branch to the stem of the trunk and so on and so forth... Well this is in theory!

Anywho, here is my first piece:

I am trying to keep the pieces as bright and colourful as possible so that it is a very fun and happy yarn bomb for people to see! :0)

I am hoping to go and plant my yarn bomb tonight so I will keep you updated with how I get on.

For now, take care guys.
