Game of St. Patrick's Day

 

 

Last year Game of Thrones Season 5 was released on DVD in the same week as St. Patrick's Day so I painted a hand for each.
On my left hand I have Tyrion and the dragon, the 'Shame' bell, a Sons of the Harpy mask, the door to the house of black and white, and a blood puddle.
On my right hand I have the Ireland flag, a buckle, a four leaf clover, a horse shoe, and a pot of gold.
St. Patrick's Day is once again round the corner, however we still have a long wait ahead for the new season of Game of Thrones...

Meowther's Day!

 

 

Meow!
I go to Professional Beauty Con in London every year to network with fellow nail artists and find some good offers on the latest polish. Last year I picked up some of the OPI Hello Kitty range so I used it to paint my nails afterwards. It was also Mother's Day coming up so I kept them pink and girly for my Mum.
I think my favourite is probably the Hello Kitty face in the cupcake. 😸

My stash from the day:
 
Love me some OPI and Morgan Taylor!

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!
