The no.1 messiest nail art look is back on the blog! Yes I'm talking about water marbling and I'm so envious of those that do it so well and regularly on their nails.. it takes me forever to get it right! It's probably the only technique that gives me stress but I guess the end result is kind of worth the hassle.

I wanted to use my new Nails inc - Holland park so I chose colours that would compliment it well.

The finished look with top coat.

The purple and coral remind me of a summer sunset over a beach with blue ocean waves.

The pattern that came out on my thumb was my favourite.

For the big day I had to go for a more classic wedding look - the french manicure. It was also the perfect look for the day as both the wedding and reception were held on the same day and I needed something that would match both outfit changes.

The finished look with top coat. I stamped on my accent and thumb nails using cheeky vibrant plate 03.

French tips created using Maybelline - White sail and Essie - Mademoiselle.

The colour came out amazingly dark!

It's been an amazing weekend celebrating the cousins big day last week and if you've ever been to an Indian wedding then you'll know that it's not just a one day event!

So, here's a look I wore that was inspired by my outfit for the first pre-wedding event known as the Mandvo.

The final look - you can see how I'v tried to match my outfit colours.

Two even coats of MaxFactor - Patent Poppy. It has a slight shimmer to it which you can see under lighted areas.

I added 3 gem stones to my accent nail and secured them in place with a top coat.

I finally added a gold dot near the cuticle area of each nail to complete the look.

For someone who loves icecream, I can't believe I still haven't tried the new espresso and raspberry magnum flavours that hit the supermarkets this spring! They have been highly promoted in the UK with posters, banners, magazine covers and even transforming the buses. It definitely looks delicious and since I'm not a coffee fan, I can't wait to get my hands on the pink one and try it out.

Today's manicure is inspired by the layers within the pink raspberry magnum.

The finished look with top coat.

Two coats of Maybelline - Fuchsia. This layer represents the raspberry swirls within the ice cream.

I created a layer on top of the pink using Nails Inc - Richmond terrace, leaving a slight gap at the edges and cuticles. This represents the chocolate coating outside the ice cream layer.

Finally I added a third layer using LA Girl - Ballet to represent the outer pink shell of the magnum. It has a very slight shimmer to it just like the coated pink layer.

Finished off using Sally Hansen - Diamond flash top coat.

So it's been a good few weeks since I last blogged and that's because I've been busy enjoying some sun, sea and sand in sunny Spain. However I'm back now and here's a little sparkly one for the beautiful sunny weather in London this week.

The finished look with top coat.

Two coats of Astor - Yellow Buttercup.

Two coats of Nails inc - Baker Street on the accent nail.

I added a blue glitter by M&S collection - Turquoise mix onto the accent nail and placed a glitter gem to the centre of the flowers.

Stamped using MoYou London - Kaleidoscope plate 3. (Slightly slanted on the index nail but I still like it!) Finished off with Sally Hansen - Top coat.

Looks like summer has finally hit London town this weekend and this calls for bright colours! Fuchsia by Maybelline is a hot pink perfect for this season and looks extra pretty under the sun rays.
