Images Nail Inspiration #1 : Louis Vuitton SS13

Marc Jacobs is a genius. I loved his Louis Vuitton SS13 show full of graphic checks and popping colour. Showcased at Paris Fashion Week in October his sixties-esque minimalist show for Louis Vuitton was fresh and exciting and I think the bold checks will translate into a hot set of finger art for summer. I'll be working on a set using the bright sunshine shade for this summer. I'll also be working on securing the sunshine yellow checked bag from the collection to go with said nails.....

Images Nude Leopard and Gold Stud Nails

What do you think of my nude leopard nails? As you can see I also received some gold studs recently, which I purchased from eBay. I love that they look fierce in an understated way due to the subtle nude shade. The flat back gold studs are easy to apply. Just simply drop onto the nail when the second coat of colour is just getting tacky and finish with a few coats of top coat to secure. I used Nails Inc 'Basil Street' for the nude and OPI 'A-Taupe the Space Needle' for the leopard spots. Tell me what you think in the comments below - I'd love to hear from you. xx

Images Nude and Red nails - V Shape

I love the combination of red and nude together, I think it makes a sophisticated high class colour combo and makes a difference to just plain polished red. I used Nails Inc Basil Street (nude) and Victoria and Albert (red). This design was easy to do if you have a steady hand and some patience. I'm also currently using this Sally Hansen Insta-Dry topcoat which I used on these nails.

It drys in 30 seconds and the brush is long making it super easy to apply. The finish is a high shine that really lasts. I'm impressed for the price, £4.99 at Superdrug.
