88th Academy Awards

 

It's almost that time of year again and I can't wait! I look forward to the Academy Awards every year as they are the most prestigous in the industry. One day I will live my dream and walk that red carpet (and probably trip on it 😂).

Here I've painted the 88th Oscars, a clapper board, an Oscar statue, a film reel, and a tuxedo.

Last year it was finally Leo's year! Looking forward to seeing the best of the best this year...

Fishy and Fierce

 

These were for RuPaul's Drag Race stars Trixie Mattel and Katya. Saw them in an awesome drag show so I painted some quick ones before I went.

The first ones are for Trixie with the pink and sparkles. The others are for Katya, which include her Hello Kitty Drag Race challenge and a Russian flag.

Look forward to seeing these fierce queens again one day!

Lord of the Nails

 

I went to see Lord of the Rings (Extended editions) at Prince Charles cinema so I painted a quick set of nails to match.

Here I've painted the title, a leaf of Lothlorien, the white tree of Gondor, Gandalf's staff and the Evenstar.

It was so epic seeing it all on the big screen and I only fell asleep for about 15 minutes in total. Can't wait to do it again!

Star Wars: Christmas Awakens

 16th - Chewbacca with Xmas lights

 

17th - Death Star bauble

 

18th - X-Wing in the snow

 

19th - Festive lightsabers 

 

20th - BB-8 in a stocking

 

21st - Elf C3-P0

As it was the release of Star Wars: Force Awakens I decided to do Star Wars themed advent calendar nails for Christmas 2015.

Unfortunately I never managed to finish them due to a very busy work schedule.

Loved the film and actually saw it 3 times at the cinema! Can't wait for the next episode later this year!

October Instagram challenge

 

 

Bats

 

Autumn leaves

 

Skulls

 

 

Neon

All of these were my creations for the @clairestelle8challenge on Instagram for October 2015. They all had the different Halloween themes titled above.

I do enjoy a good nail art challenge and there are a few more which I took part in last year.

Halloween Flash

 

 

Went to the London Tattoo Convention last year so I decided to do my usual tattoo flash nails. Unfortunately I didn't get time to finish them due to long work hours but these are the ones I did complete.

Decided to go for a Halloween flash theme so I have a bat, a coffin, a tooth and a spider.

Hopefully I'll be going again this year!

Let's Get Nude

 

 

Trying out my new Rimmel 'Let's Get Nude' with some basic black line designs and patterns.

Nails are looking super short here due to a lot of breakages at work at the time.

On my left hand I have lace, a kitty nose and whiskers, leopard print, hearts and a diamond.

On my right hand I have a bow, polka dots, a spotted pattern, stripes and cherry blossom.

This is definitely the best nude I've found so far which matches my skin tone.
