It's been a while since I've posted
nail art, I've been bad! I've been wearing
slightly more sensible designs on my fingertips since changing jobs (you really have to work out the lay of the land before turning up with
panda nails) but in celebration of Star Trek coming out this week, here's some sci-fi nails!

| Models Own - Feeling blue | Black magic | Red alert | Lemon meringue | Barry M - Black glitter (np333) |
It's probably worth pointing out that this is NOT my hand - it is the much more manly hand of my pal Joshua, who has become my partner in nail polish crime (he had kawaii animals painted on his nails last month, which you can see in
April's instagram post).
I grew up watching Star Trek with my dad, who would definitely not call himself a Trekkie, but did sneak into a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas with me (a fun day, sorry security guards!). I love it because I've watched it my whole life, but I'm also a HUGE fan of the new movies... I like that Star Trek is so cool these days!
Anyway, this design is pretty simple. There's a whole world of potential designs out there, but we stuck with the colours of the crew uniforms, a spacey-warp-speed thumb (it glitters) and, obviously, the Starfleet logo. I mainly used
Models Own polishes as they are always so lovely and reliable, I highly recommend them! For the finer detail I used an old liquid eyeliner brush dipped in polish - much cheaper than a nail art pen and it won't run out or clog up!
Live long and paint nails...
