hello lovely friendlikins!
HAPPY TUESDAY! hope your'e having a lovely day, even though the clouds are out to play. the topic of today is le nail art. have you been swept up by the craze? when i was in year 7 i would change my nails every week, doing different colour combos + trying out patterns. i had waaay too much time on my hands - literally! these days, i do try to get my nails done fairly regularly. the only problem is that i never wait til there dry enough before i try to do something! and i seem to find myself painting my nails in the car, and the other day at the train station... which actually worked out really well as the cool air + not being at home with all the things enticing me to touch them + ruin my nails.

do you paint your nails in random places too? or is that just me? haha have you tried out any patterns or designs? i've decided to slowly work myself up to the task/i'm not sure if i should bother doing anything too intricate as i'll just end up smudging it! so i started off with black shimmery nail polish - as i never wear black, so something a bit different. i also was going to add some kind of patterny thing to the ones below but didn't get that far. i think they still looked fun : )

| step 2. apply fun colours of your choosing! |
it reminded me of a flower with a golden centre + purple/pink petals. i've been gifted some nail decals, so i think they will be my next challenge. i think something quite simple will be best.
will you join me in learning some nail art skills too? it's all part of my {52 things before 25} goals, which you're more than welcome to join in with + share how you go! that would be dandy : )
love love
