starry sky nail tutorial

 starry sky - nail tutorial
 

I was experimenting with nail varnishes and looking on Pinterest for ideas ,lets be honest all the nail tutorials on there are really complicated and turn out way too perfect. I wanted to do something autumnal so I came up with a starry night design. now you may be thinking that has absolutely no relation  to autumn , and yeah you're kind of right,  but as the days are getting darker earlier I thought I might get away with it! enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy  

 

 I am using a number seven nail varnish to be my 'night sky' and a gelly high shine Barry m nail paint to be my ' stars and moon'. I love the No7 nail varnish because it gives amazing coverage( I only used one coat) and , as you can see in the bottle, it looks almost galaxy like. where as the Barry m gelly high shine in ' coconut' is a gorgeous off white colour that's give a shiny finish; perfect for the 'stars'.



I painted one coat of the blue and let it dry before painting on the 'stars'.





 

I used a dotting tool to paint on my ' stars and moon' but you can use anything from a DIY dotting tool ( all over Pinterest and/or google images) to a old paintbrush. I actually have nail art pens but I thought it would be too easy and boring if nobody else have them! I cant remember where I got my dotting tools from but I shall link some bellow. they are really useful for not only this design but for many others too and are really affordable.

 

you can practise this on a plastic folder, I did in the  the picture below, to get used to painting stars- its not that hard!

 

 

I really liked the finished result of my nails and if you wondered why I painted my toe nails instead of my finger nails its because I bight mine and they're really ugly and short. I've never been able to paint them because of how short they are but I would really love to so if you have any ways to stop me biting them drop a comment her or on my instagram- @Rosa.bellamonte.

 

Thank you so much for reading I really appreciate it and I love you all! i hope you have an amazing day wherever you are!

 

love,

things i love

things I love 

 

 

 

 

I was looking through my posts to see what was the most popular and my 'about me' post was. because that post is short and doesn't cover lots of things I thought id do a 'things I love' post to tell you more about me. let me know if you would like me to do a baking post via the comments or my instagram - @Rosa.bellamonte. enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

♡

  this picture isn't because I love cake , well obviously I do!, its because I love baking. I always love to experiment with things and just love baking really. I'm not really confident enough posting a baking post on here yet but it is one of the things I do want to definitely do.  this cupcake above was one of the many I baked my sister for her birthday. they were really fun to make , because they were so colourful, and surprisingly easy too!

    Tea tEa teA. basically I love tea.  autumn is my favourite month 1) because of autumn leaves 2) because of my birthday - not gunner lie ,aha. and 3) because of hot chocolate, tea and just warm drinks in general. I love having a warm cup of tea in my hands and just sipping it- ok that's really weird!

 I love just going to parks and cafes and just doing some art. it makes me feel really calm and is really enjoyable. I might , when I've finished it, show you my autumn sketch book I've been working on over the past two months.

 I have 2 cats whom I love very much and will probably feature on here more than anything/anyone. the one above is winnie and I also have another ( he features in one of my other posts) Wilbur.  I actually found winnie like this in my sisters room and it was just so funny how she'd managed to get her self all tangled up in the duvet!

 

most of all I love this blog. I didn't think id ever get as many views or as much support as I have so I am really very great full. I do enjoy sitting down with a cuppa tea and writing every single post i do for you guys.




Thankyou so much for reading. i hope you have/had a brilliant day wherever you are and whenever you are reading this.


love,

Elxploring woods

exploring woods

 

 

just recently me and one of my friends liv went on a big adventure through some woods. we took loads of photos and because you guys really liked my first exploring post I thought id do another one! so here it is. enjoyyyyyyyyy ♡.

 

I love exploring. especially with  friends. Autumn is one of my favourite seasons and I love it because of hot chocolate and cold days { an excuse to stay in and paint all day and write this while drinking tea!} buts its also the time when the leaves are changing. 


I love the autumn leaves and colours of red and orange. when I went exploring in these pictures the woods looked really special because the leaves were just changing and lots of red and orange covered the ground.



the picture above this I really like because its out of focus. sometimes when its out of focus it annoys me but now I've leant to use it in a way that the picture look like paintings.

this is one of my favourite pictures on the walk. we found a really pretty hill with sheep and long grass and decided to have a little mini picnic on it and then just sat and talked . I also found a really cute soft caterpillar who I called squidgy.

 this was our little 'picnic-sheep hill' we got to at the middle of our walk. the hill was really nice because it was really nice and quiet and all we could her was the sheep.

credits to Livy for this pic (and the  one bellow) but I loved it so much I couldn't not put it in! I love the pattern of the snail shell and how the background looks out of focus! We found lots of these snails on these siks and they looked really funny!



 

throughout our walk we passed many little cottages that were very very cute. we passed one that had a stream ,and bridge over the stream, a hot tub on wooden decking, a swing on a tree and a wooden play area. me and liv were kinda tempted to go and steal there house!

we came across these flowers that looked like they were made out of tin foil. they looked like daisies and were silver.

 

 

 



just through some trees me livvy spotted a lake. it was so calm there as there was no one else around. as liv started to chuck stones in I saw how beautiful the ripples looked afterwards and decided to capture one.

 

 

we were very tempted to swim in it  as it was a beautiful day!





I hoped you enjoyed my cheeky little post and Thankyou for reading! have an amazing day,



love,
