I have been pretty obsessed with my nails lately, I love them and really, really enjoy painting them etc. Of course, I'm not the best at them at usually stick to simple designs (rainbow nails, I love you <3), but I also like to challenge myself and do a couple of designs every now and then. Sometimes I follow instructions, for example by Cutepolish. I followed her mustache nails designs, since I totally adore mustaches at the moment. Here is what I did:
When I did these nails, I was so proud of them! I walked around with them for like a week. They've only just come off on Monday. And, since I was bored then, I decided to do another nail design. This time, it was my own design. Let's just say I was feeling very inspired, because, ever since, I haven't really had a lot of inspiring nail ideas. Boo-hoo :(
The lighting isn't the best (as you can see my skin looks yellow) and a lot of the lines are smudged since I don't have the best top coat in the world (boo-hoo), but I think it's pretty obvious that I went for a nautical theme and it worked out quite well. Yes, I do love my sailors ;)
Review on Broadway Nails
My last topic on nails is fake nails. There's a lot of views about fake nails (I know because mine keep changing ALL THE TIME), but I think that I've settled with that I like them. When my nails are all au natural they look fine; rounded and shiny and a lovely half-moon in front of my beautiful cuticle. I'm being honest - they really are that gorgeous ;) However, I really wanted to try out fake nails because my sister had an old box of Broadway nails that she doesn't use anymore with loads of nails left. So I decided to go for it (God, I hate when people say 'go for it!').
I really do like the end result:
Pros of Broadway Nails (Real Life - Real Short):
- Perfect for everyday tasks.
- Wide range of sizes.
- Look natural.
- Clean break tab.
- Easy application.
- Easy to remove.
Cons of Broadway Nails (Real Life - Real Short):
- If too much pressure is put on them, they break off.
- The glue can be hard to get out of the bottle.
Obviously, there are more pros than cons, so I definitely recommend Broadway Nails to any beginner or professional fake nail user.

Love both those designs! The mustache one is so unusual and quirky and I love the sailor theme with all the stripes :)! I've never tried fake nails but now I'm keen to "go for it" haha ;). I think I'm afraid when I take them off my nails will come off too... :L. You have really nice nails - mine are too short and they peel :/
Thanks nutty :) When you try fake nails, make sure to get a good brand. And when you take them off, don't pull - wait till they fall off or soak your nails in acetone-based polish remover (this'll make them soft and easy to remove). If you get them professionally done, don't get acrylic nails - they'll make your nails all soft and gross and painful :(. Thanks for the compliment about the nails - i really try to take good care of them by moisturising and pushing back my cuticles everyday - that's a good hint for keeping them nice and healthy! You can also get nail-strengthening pens or polish at Boots or Superdrug. Good luck xx
