    LOL

    Like a lot of you here (you know who you are!), I’m a bit of a meme addict and I’m slowly but surely making my way through Know Your Meme on my nails! 
    I kind of cheated with this one by creating a decal rather than freehanding it straight on to my nail.
    I started by painting a thin coat of clear polish about 2x2cm on to a sheet of plastic and letting it dry. Then I used acrylic paint with a nail art brush to draw the face. Once it was all dry, I peeled the whole thing away from the plastic and stuck it to my nail using a coat of clear polish and smoothing it down with my finger. Finally I used a brush dipped in acetone to remove the excess at the edges and top coated it.
    Unfortunately the result is chock full of air bubbles but they’re not super visible unless you get very very close!
    I used Barry M White as my base colour and created the face using the method described above. For the LOL text, I used a nail art brush with Rimmel Heart on Fire.

    Feeling Like A Sir

    This week I found a gem of a bargain when I was in Asda. Don’t judge me when I tell you I buy clothes and jewellery from there on a regular basis! I was browsing the girls jewellery, as you do, and I spotted a little packet of moustaches. There was no indication on the packaging as to what they were but using my detective skills I quickly deduced that they were in fact, as I had immediately suspected, nail decals! Hidden away amongst the pink clip in hair streaks and plastic tiaras!
    They were a complete steal at £1.50 for 48 stickers and they’re absolutely great. They’re kind of foamy and the adhesive layer is really thin so they’re easy to handle and stick to the nails really well. The first time I wore them, I used a top coat and they were unmovable. This time around I didn’t and the sticker slid off after about 12 hours of wear so go for a top coat if you’re going to try them yourself. 
    The smallest design, the curly one, immediately made me think of the ‘Feel Like A Sir‘ meme so of course I had to put it on my nails!

    I used Sally Hansen Dorian Grey and A-England Guinevere as my base colours with a coat of WellNails Rock In The New Year on my thumb. The Mo’ decal is, as previously stated, from Asda and I painted on the Sir using a nail art brush and acrylic paint.
    Everything is topped with a coat of No7 Stay Perfect Top Coat except for the sticker, I put that on after the top coat.

    Paint ALL The Nails!

    I love memes. I have one friend IRL who loves memes too (and a few others who are slowly learning) and when we get together, half of our conversation is completely incomprehensible to everyone else because it consists of a lot of meme and fandom referencing! This particular meme, ‘X all the Y‘ originates on Allie Brosh’s amazing blog, Hyperbole and a Half.
    If you ‘get’ this manicure, you’re awesome. If you don’t – go learn about it here and be awesome like us.
