March Nail Art Challenge: Chevron

I've decided to do the Californails "Totally Doable I Have A Life!" March Nail Art Challenge to get back into the groove of doing nail art and posting on this blog. 


Yesterday's theme was Chevron so I did a quick tape chevron with Nails Inc Kensington High Street and Sportsgirl Goddess. It's a bit wonky (especially on the pinky finger) so I need more practice, but I really like this colour combination! Plus tape manis are super easy to do - this tape manicure basics tutorial on Lacquerheads of Oz has some really great tips for getting it right.



I'm also going to be blogging about a bit more than just nails. My main goal for a few years now has been to buy my own place, but that's recently fallen by the wayside with graduating from uni and job hunting. I need to get back on track with saving up so I've decided, in order to hold myself accountable, I'm going to be documenting my progress and my daily purchases, and keeping a tally. I did consider setting up a separate blog for this but I barely have time to update one blog, let alone two. I won't be writing too much - just a short couple of sentences at the end of each post, so it'll be easy to ignore if you only want to look at pictures of nails. But it makes it easier for me to save if I know that other people are judging my rash puchasing decisions!

Aussie Nails Monday - Birthday Nails

Welcome to my very first Aussie Nails Monday post! Basically it's a weekly nail art challenge a couple of us Aussie girls are doing, with a different theme each week, organised by the lovely Elissa from Lissa's Polish Addiction. I've never done nail art before so this is the perfect opportunity for me to get into it :)

This week's theme is Birthday. When I think of birthdays, the first thing that comes to my mind is a Tiffany's box. Every year, my boyfriend gives me a gorgeous piece of Tiffany's jewellery on my birthday. His choices are always perfect, and I love every single piece.

Nah, just kidding. I don't own a single item of Tiffany's jewellery. But a girl can dream, right? I've been hinting heavily that I would like something from Tiffany's for my birthday, so I suppose my nails are still somewhat birthday related. As I said earlier, I've never done nail art before so I thought I'd start with something dead simple - a Tiffany's themed french manicure. The blue is Sportsgirl Lagoon, with Ulta3 Lily White tips.
