The 'Billie' Manicure: Floral & Girly

Buenos días fellow lacquer lovers! I'm back today with another custom manicure. If you read Thursday's post, you'll know that I had two of my college friends over last week and I did both of their nails. Hop back a few posts if you want to see Sophie's Harry Potter and France themed manicure but hang around here if you're interested in Billie's cute, floral and brilliantly girly manicure...

After much deliberation Billie plumped for small flowers, big flowers and patchwork nails, which happen to be one of my all-time favourite discoveries. We went with a pink theme and used various shades as the bases with blue and yellow as the main flower colours. Billie is a girly girl but with an edge to me, so the inclusion of black in two of the designs helps to bring out that aspect of her personality. 

If you have any questions, you can leave me a comment below or tweet me @rachelizabethxo. I would LOVE to hear from you and find out your thoughts!

Happy painting!

The 'Sophie' Manicure: Harry Potter & France

Buenos días fellow lacquer lovers! So it's been a couple of days since my last post, but I've been so busy petsitting for my cousins that I just haven't had time to sit down and write. Last week I had two of my college friends Sophie and Billie over for the afternoon and we watched Michael McIntyre, ate junk food and gossiped while I did their nails. Today, I'm sharing the manicure Sophie chose...

Sophie chose ten different designs so each nail was unique. For her first hand, she picked polka dots, Hogwarts uniform, the Eiffel tower, a shark and blood spatters with crime scene tape over the top. 

For the second hand, we did piano keys, a Horcrux symbol, the words 'je ne sais pas', HP glasses and scar and a galaxy nail.  

Now I'm looking back over the photos, I think the manicure I did for Sophie reminds me why I love nail art so much - it's such a good expression of personality and most of the designs I did for Sophie are symbolic of things she loves and that everyone associates with her (HP mad and a complete Francophile).
