So this weeks WNAC design is more than a week late but here it is. The prompt was Magenta and Navy. It didn't turn out as summery as I would have liked mainly because my navy blue polish is so dark it looks almost black in the photos!

WNAC2015: Lemon and Cherry
Hello everyone!
This month I'm taking part in the Weekly Nail Art Challenge (WNAC) 2015! This challenge was started by @missbellatracey, @simplynailogical and @kgrdnr on Instagram. It's been ages since I last took part in a challenge and I really enjoy them so decided it was time to have another go! I like that this challenge is weekly - I don't think I could manage more than that!
The theme for this month is 'summer' and there are four prompts that we have to use to create a summer design. The first prompt is 'lemon and cherry' and below is the design I created.

Night Time Palm Tree Nails
Hello everyone!
You've probably seen palm tree nails before with the classic sunset gradient and black silhouette of the palm trees. I decided to put a twist on this and opted for a blue ombre background to look like the night sky and some white palm trees (who knows why they're white? Bioluminescent palm trees maybe...)

Paint Splatter / Spongebob Nails
Hello everyone!
Today on the blog I have a review of a stamping plate* which Born Pretty Store kindly sent me. I couldn't decide on what to call this design. It reminds me of paint splats but at the same time looks like the strange flower cloud things from Spongebob Square Pants. All I know is I like it!

Double Water Marble Nails
Hello everyone!
I've got a bit of an obsession with water marbling recently, mainly due to the fact that I think I've found a way that works really well for me. A while ago I saw Carmen from ineedamani on Instagram do a double water marble design and I thought it was the coolest idea ever! After doing my water marble design last week I was reminded of her design and had to have a go at doing it myself!

Summer Water Marble Nails
Hello everyone!
Today I've got some water marble nails to show you. I did get a few bubbles in this design but I love the colour combo so it doesn't matter too much! :)

Negative Space Pastel Nails
Hello everyone!
For today's nail art I was totally inspired by Yasmeen (aka sloteazzy) on Instagram who did a gorgeous design using just a plastic sandwich bag. I've recreated the effect using different colours and decided to add a negative space heart too!

Green basket weave stamping
Hello everyone!
I've got another review of a Born Pretty Store stamping plate* today. This one has a bunch of designs packed in. I wasn't sure what to call this design and settled on basket weave which it sort of looks like.

Watercolour floral nails!
Hello everyone!
I went to Superdrug to buy some bits and bobs and while I was there I had to take advantage of their 3 for 2 offer on all cosmetics so I bought some more nail polish (surprise surprise!). I've used all 3 in this design. I also wanted to try doing some watercolour nail art.

Classy Water Marble Flowers
Hello everyone!
I've been loving all the sunshine we've been having in the UK recently and although today seems to be a bit grey I had a go at doing some floral nails. The last time I did floral nails was exactly one year ago to the day when I tried creating some roses on my nails! This time I thought I'd try some water marble flowers. I realise the colours aren't very spring-like but I still love how they turned out!

Water marbling without water!
Hello everyone!
For those of you who struggle with water marbling there is a solution! I was sent a stamping plate* by Born Pretty Store and one of the designs on there immediately caught my eye. I knew I had to do some water marble style nails and this is how they turned out!

Easter Egg Nails
Hello everyone!
I haven't done any brightly coloured designs for a while and so I thought I would do a spring nail art design using a stamping plate* Born Pretty Store sent me. The design looks like Easter eggs to me!

Valentine's Vertical Gradient
Hello everyone!
So this year for Valentine's Day I decided not to do a design with loads of hearts and opted for a more subtle design which still fits the occasion.

Bold Leopard Print Nails
Hello everyone!
The days are slowly getting longer and I can't wait for it to be summer! So I've done some leopard print nails with a bit of negative space thrown in - it may be cold and wintry outside but at least my nails can be summery! :)
