Studded nails

I've been so absent lately. I've been drowning in uni work plus I've got a new job and they are basically blocking my nail game. But fear not I've been able to do a couple looks, here's what ive done today.

What I used
OPI- Mermaid tears
Gold Bullion beads
Yellow striper

I'm loving studs at the moment and I didn't even realise I had bullion beads as I bought them so long ago and only came across them when I was clearing out my nail draw.
What I've done is basically dotted the studs on using a dotting tool lol. It's really simple to do and doesn't take much time once you've got the hang of it.

Tribal / Aztec Nail Art

I've been loving Aztec nails for a long time now. I find its my go to design when I haven't got a lot of time but I want a bold design as its quite simple to do.

What I used
Pop Nail Polish - Mint Magic
Aldo Nail Lacquer - Stay Gold El Dorado
Models own nail art pens in pink and black

So basically i've started to build up a collection of Models Own nail varnishes. I first started when they had their 50% off sale last august. They are usually around £5 each so nail varnish for £2.50? why not. Majority of the colours are very pigmented and easy to apply. Some of the lighter shades may require a white base with multiple coats of your chosen colour but nethertheless they are amazing polishes. I just realised that ive only actually purchased Models Own polishes when they are on offer *coughs* cheapskate. ASOS recently had 20% off a pack of 3 and then i got an extra 25% off with student discount. But at a fiver each i think i shall indulge further.

I definitely think Models own is ten times better than the ever so popular BarryM nail paint as they aren't as gloopy, the range is enormous and the bottles are bigger so you get more product which is a plus for me as i'm changing my nails colour frequently
