Cartoon nails

Hey there! 

Last weekend I went to a family wedding, so naturally my mum and sister decided to exploit my nail skills! They asked me to make them sets to match their shoes. I've already shown you my mum's orange nails, but here they are with her bright orange shoes

Aren't they lovely! She was really pleased with them, they also matched her top :)

I also did a set for my sister, who had a gorgeous pair of turquoise shoes she wanted me to match. Now my sister's not a particularly girly girl, and she has a (frankly disturbing) aversion to glitter, so my usual shinies were out of the question. Eventually I came across a tutorial for "cartoon nails" online, and used that for a starting point. First I painted the nails mint green, to match the shoes!

I then painstakingly painted a black outline around each nail. This took me bloody ages, as I don't have any special brushes so had to use the ones in the polishes! I had to be veery careful!

On consultation with the sister, she said she didn't really want the cartoon style "shine" on them, so in the end I left them like that, after some top coat, and she was thrilled with them :D

Do you guys like to match your nail to your accessories? I love doing it!! And I love seeing other people wearing my nails and loving them!! 

Until next time :)
