Exciting New Nail Art Designs

I have been busy with more nail art and have to say that I'm quite proud of this lot. The practice is certainly paying off but as always I would love your feedback as I'm thinking of adding nail art to my treatment menu. See if you can spot the two subtle Easter themed designs. Your feedback on favourite designs would be very much appreciated!!!

My First Attempt At Nail Art

I have never really had a go at nail art before. The places that do it near to where I live look really dated, and whilst you can see the amount of work and skill that is required I have never really appreciated it much before. That was until I discovered the world of nail blogging and found some very talented artists! There is one lady from Washington USA called Ami Vega who I contacted via Twitter (@AmiVNails) and she is amazing. Not only is she really skilled but she has some really modern, cool designs so she sort of inspired me to give it a try. To see more examples of her work visit her website at http://elsalonsito.com/

Now please remember that the pictures below are of my very first attempt and I was just playing around really. I didn't really have a plan of what I was going to paint, so some look really amateurish (i.e. the strawberry which looks a bit like an aubergine/eggplant to the Americans).
