Mushroom Nail Art

My Color Club - Nomadic in nude seems to be getting a lot of use at the moment! Poor thing, I'll be needing a new one before long.

 

I needed to go in search of some stationary last week, I needed a new file and notebook for my PGCE class on Tuesday...so I dragged my sister to Wilkinson's with me to have a wander around.

I found this cute little letter writing set (which I haven't bought by the way) I restrained myself from getting it as its not what I went for. And...I didn't even buy what I went for in the end, I think I'm going to have to go back to pick up a plain black file and notepad...So forgetful!

Because I didn't buy it I've done some nail art to match it instead.

 

 

NSI Natural Acrylics

Now, I don't usually do acrylics that often because I know how much damage they can cause to your nails.

Normally I would try and talk someone out of having them done but my brothers girlfriend desperately wanted them for her graduation so I gave in.

She wanted them natural but with a decent length so that's what I did.

Here's how the nails looked prior to the acrylics...

I always use NSI products because that's what I used when I was training.

I've had my acrylic brush for over 4years now... I don't think I could ever use another brush again. It's like my little baby, it needs lots of care and attention and I most certainly don't let anyone else use it. We've had one or two incidents in work when the acrylic brush hasn't been cleaned and a big chunk of acrylic has dried in it, Disaster! Thank god I never leave mine there or I think it would end up in the bin after a week or two.

Sam wanted to have clear natural acrylics, and that's what she got. I used NSI purely pink masque powder mixed with the NSI acrylic liquid. To finish off I used China Glaze - Hope Chest with NSI glaze and go over the top.
