Little Night Flower

I really love the work Robin Moses does and her YouTube tutorials are so good for learning the necessary techniques to create nail art with arcylic paint.  I picked this look to recreate because it fits with my ability level at the moment.  I also need to invest in some more brushes before trying anything more adventurous as mine are a bit worn out.

This is my interpretation of a Robin Moses Soft Floral Prom Nails design which you can find here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EfROIc2u-c More details after the jump.

This is inspired by a recent tutorial by Robin Moses which can be found here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P7OMP2iXcQ More details after the jump.

I'm much happier with today's mani than yesterday's polka dots, I was feeling much more inspired.  This idea was taken from a look created by Robin Moses.  You can check out the tutorial video here  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPBdDNuMIf4 More details and another picture after the jump.

I wanted to try out a colour combination for this gradient that wasn't mainstream.  I was inspired by this tutorial from Robin Moses on You Tube .  More details and pictures after the jump.

I simplified this  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5by8-8m2uM  design by Robin Moses to something more on my current level. More details after the jump.

This is a look that was inspired by a couple of Robin Moses designs. The original designs can be found:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkZ8GpukWBE  and  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7dEXyB4WY8 More details after the break.

Lots of posts to upload this week after a quite week away! For Monkey See Monkey Do Monday I have attempted the dotty rainbow from Robin Moses  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm6019M1O6g .  Many of my MSMD Monday posts have and will be inspired by this amazing artist.  Her explanations of how to apply pressure when painting various shapes has really helped me get to grips with painting on nails with acrylic paint and added a whole new dimension to my nail art. I had a quick practice on a tip to get the technique down. More details after the break.

This is a look inspired by this Robin Moses tutorial on You Tube .   As this week sees the tri colour polish challenge as well I have broken out the false tips to paint these designs.  It was just too cute not to have a go at and I will definitely be having another go at this one on my real nails. More details after the jump.

The nail art brushes got a bit of an airing for this one.  I wanted to create a nice, fresh spring look and couldn't find an image on any of my stamping plates that I thought would fit the bill, so I had to create something for myself.  Also I was feeling quite inspired after watching a few of Robin Moses ( http://www.youtube.com/user/robinmosesnailart ) tutorial videos on You Tube.  There are over 900 videos on this channel and it was quite difficult to tear myself away from the computer long enough to paint my own nails.  Robin describes the painting technique (how to place the brush and the pressure to apply, etc) as she creates the design, which is very helpful if you are new to nail art.  I need a lot more practice painting freehand designs on nails but I think this one turned out quite well.
