Final Major Project Work So Far...

For my FMP i have finally decided to create a mini style zine based around the number 3. It will feature fashion beauty and nail art and most importantly up and coming talent. Im really excited to start this project, its just knowing which angle to take! 

So obviously...first off i started on my nail art tutorials and blog. Here are a few tasters of what iv done so far and you will be able to find the tutorials on my blog that coincides with my zine.

 

Designs over xmas

 

Aztec

This was my attempt at an aztec accent finger and spotty

french tips.

I'm waiting for my nail pens to arrive so this was tried using a 3D nail pen. I don't really like these as you don't have much control over it, bring on the nail pens!

 Half Moon Triangles

I really love half moon designs, if like me you can grow your nails but they aren't that long or perfect, this design elongates your nails. Gold and black is always a winning combination especially at xmas! These half moons were painted freehand and take a few goes but are quite simple. I made the triangles by using masking tape to create a stencil. You have to peel off the stencil quickly otherwise it smudges!

 NYE Nails

This was my chosen design for NYE. I was wearing a black jumpsuit with emerald green strappy shoes and wanted to add a bit of sparkle to my outfit. This was my first freehand attempt at half moons and i was rather impressed with myself! I also used gold stick on foils with a chevron cut into it for my accent nail.

Nail project

For my final major project I have decided to create a paper style guide zine with tutorials on nail art styling and make up.

So I have been practicing a few nail designs in preparation for it!

 Candy Clouds

This mani is taken from http://nailside.blogspot.com/ I love the cloud design and tried it on myself with candy colours

 Penguins

This was in prep for xmas and i had just watched Happy Feet!

 

Cats and Leopards

My friend asked me to do her nails and shes obsessed with giraffes and her cat Jessie. So this mani was dedicated to Jessie and Seymour ( the toy giraffe(see-more, get it??))

Aztec Inspired

I have just got a 3D nail art pen from ebay and wanted to test it out, it was quite hard to use and messy so i have decided to buy a set of nail pens once i get some more dolla. 

For the thumb i cut out this aztec/navajo shape into a black nail sticker and it turned out amazingly! Unfortunately with all nail stickers they peel off rather quickly so i may have to find an alternate idea.
