Geek Squad

Geek Squad by emilyrodgers18 on Polyvore

After seeing these tops become more and more popular online and in the shops, I got a bit of nail inspo and recreated them on nails! 

This post really should be on my sister blog Stray Nails (link above) but I love this design so much I thought I would share it on here instead. 

The design was so so easy and simple, just using black and white pens to make the letters over a base coat. 

You could also try writing 'dweeb' 'loser' which are popular tee slogans and the colour combo's are endless!

Hope you like them and give them a try! 

XMAS jumpers!

Tomorrow is the first day I will whack out my christmas jumper in a year. 

I am a baggy jumper lover, especially the christmas ones! 

So here is a little mood board of my favies this year!

I definitely found that the men's were ten times better than the girls, so I've included a few.

So I might have to indulge!

Best Dressed for Less No.7

I know I havent posted in yonks, sorry guys! University calls, the work load has been hectic!

This best dressed for less is an easy one. Rihanna dressed like a bin bag, a lollipop and pratically naked except some camouflage. 

SJP slumped down to jeans and a cardi to pick up the kids.

 And Miranda Kerr continued to floor us.

Precisely why shes the chosen one for this weeks BDFL. 

She stepped out into New York with her son Flynn in Balenciaga, Acne, Tabitha Simmons boots and a Christian Louboutin bag. If you want to re create this to a tee, that would cost a hefty amount.

So here's how to re-do the look at a minuscule price, enjoy!

Marc Jacobs Nails

So I've recently had a bit of 'Nail Block' (like writers block, but with nails). Nothing has inspired me at all, and if I'm planning on starting to sell these nails, the designs need to be innovative and different. 

We've all seen the tribal nails and dotty nails, they're just not cutting it anymore!

So like any fashion student, I turned to Vogue for help.

I have absolutely no clue why I didnt do this before!

Prints are so big in this upcoming season, so by looking at all the pre ready to wear collections, the inspiration for nail designs was screaming at me!

I started with these, inspired by Marc Jacobs Pre Ready to Wear collection, of which there were many other interesting patterns, these ones stood out and they were simple to put onto nails. 

I know I havent got quite the right green colour, but I still love the contrasting bright colours.

I even put it onto a fake nail and loved the result, contemplating putting this design on my etsy shop when its up and running, what do you guys think? please comment below if you like it!

Its pretty obvious which one is the fake nail here.

 So if you too are stuck for a bit of design inspiration, turn to the people who do it best!

I'm currently working on more designs from 3.1 Phillip Lim and ALICE by Temperley.
