What I’m going to wear to Cheltenham Races Ladies Day on 11th March

Today I have been asked to take part in the #ColourMeMarch campaign so I have put together an outfit idea for Ladies Day Wednesday 11th March at Cheltenham Races. The theme of the Colour Me March campaign is colour, so for my entry I chose my brightest dress which has neon pink hearts and splashes of neon yellow in the design. I have also created some matching nail art designs because if you are going to wear a statement dress you need to have some bright standout nails to go with it!

If you want to enter the competition you just need to put together your own colourful outfit and tweet a photo using the hashtag #ColourMeMarch or you can enter online by following the link below:

These are my two nail designs I have created to match the amazing pattern on my dress. I used two coats of black polish for the base colour on both designs. For the design on the left I used a pink Wah Nails nail art pen to draw tiny hearts in a polka dot pattern. For the design on the right I used a neon yellow polish and a thin brush to draw a big heart outline in the centre of the nail and then filled it in with two coats of neon yellow. To create the pink pattern I painted one coat of a Barry M pink crackle polish over the yellow heart and then waited for it to crack. As always I finished off my nails with a top coat to make the colours super shiny.

My dress below was from the Versace for H&M collection. I love the combination of neon colours and the heart pattern with black fringing on the top and bottom of the dress. It is definitely a statement dress and it grabs attention when I wear it which is why I have chosen it for my #ColourMeMarch outfit.

Victorias Secret Pink Nails

These are my Pink Victorias Secret themed nails. I saw this design on a picture by MissJenFabulous and loved the idea so I created my own version.

How to get this look:

Apply a base coat and then paint three nails white, one pink and one silver.

Put another glitter polish over the silver polish to make it extra sparkly.

Create a pink ombré on the thumb using a makeup sponge and draw the dog, heart and 'pink' lettering with a black nail art pen.

To make the leopard print paint random dots in different colours on the nail and then draw broken circles around them with a black nail art pen.

Finish by applying a top coat.

Hello Kitty Nails

These are my Hello Kitty nails, a simple design for anyone who loves Hello Kitty. The base colour I used is OPI's Alpine Snow and the black nail art pen I used was from Models Own. 

How to get this look:

Apply a base coat and then two coats of your white polish (or more if necessary - some white polishes are not very opaque.)

Use a nail art pen to draw the black outline of Hello Kitty's head and bow.

Add the eyes and whiskers with your black nail art pen, then add a yellow nose and fill in the bow with your colour of choice, I used a glitter pink.

Draw the Hello Kitty lettering on your other nails with your black nail art pen, you should practice the lettering first so it looks like the font used for the logo.

Finish by applying a top coat to protect your cute kitty nails.

Converse Nails

I love shoes...especially Converse! These are my Converse inspired nails with a shoe on each nail and the logo on my thumb. The trainers are a fairly simple design to try and will also look good on shorter nails.

To get this look:  Start by applying a base coat and then paint your nails with a colour of your choice. Paint white on the tip of each nail with a brush just like a french manicure. Draw six white dots on the coloured part of the nail and then draw lines to join them up in the style of shoe laces. Use a black nail art pen to draw a semi-circle on the white tip and a small dot inside each white dot for detailing. Finally apply a top coat to make your Converse nails look super shiny and protect them from chipping.
