Welcome back to The Nail Trail

Here are my most recent nails, social media apps. As many of you may already know, I am currently in the process of redesigning my blog. I haven't posted here in ages because I've been so focused on that so I thought I'd check in and let you all know that I'm still alive (phew!)

But don't worry, I still post my nails every day on Instagram and Facebook. 

You can find me on instagram @thenailtrail and on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/thenailtrail

Stay tuned because the relaunch of my blog is coming very, very soon.

St Patrick's Day 2013!

Hey guys!

Happy St Patrick's Day for Sunday. For the occasion I did some green nail art, check it out:

I won't bore you with more apologies for not posting in a while but I will tell you that in my absence, I've been busy preparing lots of nail art posts and a few tutorials so watch this space!

Until next time :)

Australia Day nail Art 2013

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY for last week everyone! For the day I couldn't help myself but do two designs. Check them out:

 

Australia Day nail Art 2013

 

The first was Australian Flags, similar to what I did last year. You can view my post from last year here.

 

Australian Flag Nail Art

 

Another photo of the Australia Flags that I sported at a BBQ on the day. Perhaps I should try VB cans for next year..what do you think?!

 

 

The second design that I did for the day was one of my favourite nail art designs at the moment; the reverse french manicure. I did this in the official colours of Australia; green and gold.

 

Green and Gold Reverse French Manicure

 

Here's also a photo of last year's nail art, Vegemite! These are just too cute not to feature again:

 

Vegemite Nail Art

For those who don't know what Vegemite is, it's an iconic Australian spread, derived from yeast that is very salty and, personally, very delicious. Although, unless you grow up on Vegemite in Australia, most foreigners aren't very fond of it!

 

Hope all my Aussie followers had a great day and celebrated hard in true Aussie form. See you all very soon :)

Welcome back to The Nail Trail for 2013!

Welcome back followers! You may have noticed that I've taken a bit of a break lately over Christmas and New Years. I'm currently in the process of relocating interstate so things have been incredibly hectic around here so I apologise for the lack of posts. I've tried to be active on Instagram at least so I will upload some photos now of what has been happening lately. For those who don't follow me yet on Instagram you can find me at @thenailtrail. Tell your friends to follow me too.

So. First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here's the nail art I was sporting on the night: 

OPI Ink with China Glaze silver writing and fireworks

I also went away for a holiday to Vanuatu with my boyfriend earlier this month which was amaaaaaazing. If you haven't ever been there I would highly recommend it! Such a beautiful place and it was so nice just to get away and relax. Here's the nails I was wearing for my holiday:
