Effie Trinket

The Hunger Games movie came out back in March. In the reaping scene of district 12 Efiie Trinket has a lovely ombre on her nails of pink and gold. I tried to recreate it here but I don't think I did that well, ahhh well it gives me an excuse to try again :)

Nail Party


A couple of weeks ago I hosted a nail party where I invited some friends to my house to paint an accent nail. I thought I would put some pictures up from that :)

Water Marble

Water marbling is really fun but really messy, I chose to do it on just 2 nails on each hand so I had less clean up to do. I used 3 colours, a pistachio green, a metallic bronze and a metallic black. I then painted my thumb nails with the black, my middle finger nails with the green and my little finger nails with the bronze.

Braid

There have been quite a few youtubers giving tutorials on this look so I thought I would give it a go :)

Harry Potter

For my birthday my friend took me to the Warner Bros Studio Tour so I spent the evening before painting Harry Potter themed designs on our nails. On each of my 4 fingers I painted a design based on the 4 Hogwarts houses (from left to right; Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Slytherin) and on my thumbs I painted the symbol of the deathly hallows in the 7th book. Hope you like them :)

p.s. sorry about the odd angle of my hand :)

Leopard Accent

On my nails at the moment I'm sporting a recent craze, a ring finger accent. I have chosen a leopard print design for the ring finger and I have painted the rest of my nails beige. Hope you like them :)

Stonehenge


A couple of weeks ago I visited Stonehenge so I decided to paint my nails in honour of my visit, I painted some of the stones on my ring finger, hope you like them :)

Hello!

Hello my name is Pip and I am a university student studying anthropology in London. I am spending the summer Au Pair-ing in Italy on the east coast. In my spare time I love to paint my nails and my friends' nails, last year we would have nail nights in the flat. If you have any questions or requests you can leave them in comments or email me :)
