Fairydust at your Fingertips - Welcome!

I started doing 'nail art' around 2 years ago when I was at uni. Me and the girls I lived with used to sit watching girly movies (read 'girly' as 'Disney'), reading gossip magazines and painting our nails.
I've always wanted to have brightly coloured nails: from being about 5 or 6, whenever my Godmother came to babysit me, I'd always ask her to paint my nails. I always wanted 10 different colours, a different one for each finger, but she'd never let me. Then, as I got older, I never felt that I could enjoy having lovely coloured fingernails because I was a nail biter!!! I'd buy rainbow coloured nail varnishes with the hope of one day being able to wear them with pride and had quite a collection! So when I was in my third year at uni, had time to spare, and nail art was making a definite appearance in the fashion and beauty scene, I decided to jump aboard! I've gone from having short, icky nails, to being asked at least once a week if if I've painted them myself!
As I said before, nail art was, and still is, having "a fashion moment" so I had lots of sources from which to draw inspritation. There are so many youtube channels where girls post video tutorials of their latest designs, magazines are writing about the latest nail trends, and celebrities are sporting wacky and alternative styles (remember Zooey Deschanel's adorable tuxedo design?).

My favourite youtube channels are cutepolish and ihaveacupcake; they have really great designs, which are easy to follow and not too difficult (check them out!). I copy some of their designs, but mostly use them for inspiration, and that's what I plan on showing you guys here. I want to show you some step-by-step guides on how to do my favourite designs, so that you and your friends can have the same 'movie, nail painting, and chocolate eating' shaped fun that me and my friends have had. I also want to tell you about my favourite products and colours, and how I like to use them. I'll point you in the direction of any new youtube channels or magazine articles that I think you'll like, and will take requests for any trends or designs you'd like to see my interpretation of.
I've posted a couple of 'taster' photos below so you can see what's to come. This is my first blog, and something I'd like to do just as a bit of fun. I'd be painting my nails all the colours of the rainbow anyway, but if you guys want to get involved too, then that's great!
