Chanel Nail Polishes Art

Chanel Nail Polishes painting

Acrylic on deep edge canvas

These are just a few of the recent Chanel nail polishes commissions I've painted for customers.  The nail polish colours were their favourite shades chosen by them.

The hardest part was mixing the right colours to try and get the shade as close as possible to the actual nail polish colour.  I think they turned out pretty close to the real colours.  Although I am a perfectionist, I try not to get too worked up about the detail as it is a painting inspired by Chanel, very difficult to not keep on perfecting the painting!  Loved painting Chanel nail polishes, a simple iconic design just looks amazing on canvas.

Bedroom Inspiration: Shades Of Grey

Grey and white are my favourite colours for home interiors especially the bedroom.  I'm currently redecorating my bedroom in white and grey, the perfect neutral colours for a modern minimal style bedroom. I'm planning on having a grey feature wall and already have white furniture.

These are my inspiration images that I'll use for ideas, love the beautiful shades of grey and textures in the cushions and throws.  The grey desk lamp looks perfect in these bedrooms and am seriously thinking about buying one, I've already spotted one in Ikea!  A feature wall in grey or patterned grey wallpaper just transforms the rooms, I don't think it's a dull colour at all!  Also love the black and white art work and prints and all the different ways you can style a bedside table.

All images are pinned on my Pinterest board here.

What colours do you have in your bedroom?

Afternoon Tea Party

Crockery: Charity shops (some vintage I got from my mum), Ikea,
Tea cups (old) & glasses: Habitat

Cake Stands: Dunelm, Homebase (now half price!)

Teapot (borrowed from my sister): Next

As I mentioned in a previous post, I recently hosted a few tea parties as I adore afternoon tea, one was for mothers day and another for friends (tea party club as we like to call it!).  The pictures are from both parties, I had so much fun organising and hosting the parties, I've never really done tea parties like these with proper crockery etc.  Most of the crockery, doilies, napkins were all really inexpensive so you don't need to go crazy spending when planning a tea party, charity shops are the best places to start, all I need now is some vintage teacups!  Obviously there had to be scones and clotted cream, lemonade,
I baked most of the cakes such as marble cake, madeira cake, cheesecake brownies and all the proper sandwiches (no crusts here!) we all over indulged but it was all worth it!  Will definitely be doing more tea parties.

Have you hosted any tea parties?

Pink Flamingo Kitsch

Pink Flamingo Glasses & Napkins: Ikea

When I saw these glasses in Ikea, I instantly knew I had to get them, love the kitsch pink flamingo design! Then I spotted the napkins and obviously had to buy those too, perfect for summer drinks and parties.  I never normally buy such a statement design but there's something about flamingos that I just couldn't resist! There were a bargain, you must go get some of these!  I noticed they also had flamingo trays online but didn't see these in store, is that a step too far?!

Do you love or hate these?!
