Hey Guys!
I'M BACK! If you follow me on Instagram you'll know that I've decided to get back into my nails after a long time off. I want to apologise for going completely AWOL and I hope I wasn't rude. As I explained over there I've had a lot going on and I just haven't had time to think about my nails. Anyway things have been better lately and I've decided to get back into it.
So here is my first mani! I wasn't completely happy with how they turned out but I do still really like them. I decided to recreate these as I painted them for my cousin a long time ago and I was originally inspired by a design by 'nailsbypurple'.
So here is a closer look at the mani:
I also created a short step-by-step pictorial for you guys to follow!
I started off with 'Elegant Touch 24KT Gold Ridge Filler' for my base coat. I then applied 'Models Own Beach Hut' to all of my nails as my base colour.
On all of my nails bar my ring finger I painted black stripes using some black paint and a small detailing brush. As you can see the lines don't have to be perfect at all its fine if they are a little messy as it just adds to the look!
Now for Tigger himself:
- Apply your base coat and let it dry. Apply an orange polish and let that dry fully! You may want to use a quick dry topcoat here to speed things up.
- Using a small detailing brush and pale yellow/beige paint or polish create two lined diagonally down from the top of your nail and another line to join them, then fill in the shape.
- Now create two diagonal lines from the bottom of your nail and again join up and fill in the shape.
- Using the same detailing brush and now some pink paint or polish create the nose shape.
- Using black paint or polish and a dotting tool or cocktail stick create two eyes. Then using a detailing brush paint his eyebrows above.
- Again with your brush you want to create three lines on either side of his nose for whiskers.
- Finally seal it all with a top coat. I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri.
I really hope you guys like them! What do you think? I'd love to see if any of you guys give them a go!

Welcome back and what a fun mani. I loved Nails By Purple, it's a shame she's also gone.
