I was just browsing the net for cute nail art ideas and came across this video by youtuber “cutepolish” for creating Nyan cat nail art! I thought it was super-cute and had to share it!

A couple of weeks ago I saw this photo on pinterest and tracked it down to the blog fabfatale.com which is full of inspiring manicures!

Check out the links to have a look at the picture – it’s so pretty!

I ordered myself a bottle of Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer, Boom Boom Pow which arrived today, so today I had a go at recreating this look!

Thank you pinterest and fabfatale.com for providing an endless source of inspiration! :D
