Kyleigh 'Handmade By Kyleigh'

I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful (if not small) parts of the world ♥ . I love to paint freehand with acrylic paints - it's my play time ;)

Tasman, New Zealand

Summer Nautical

Some nautical stripes with a compass and anchor all freehanded in acrylic paints. I'm not sure what the white spots are in the photo ... maybe dust? They definitely aren't there IRL ;)

One Stroke Floral

I've been practicing my one stroke again. Still a long way off perfect, but I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out ;) *This is a design inspired by the incredibly talented Cherry Nail Art

Stripes & Roses

I just love how pretty these colours are together! The roses were actually painted while I was on board a yacht that was bobbing around in the sea on a beautiful sunny day ;)

Monarchy

I used acrylic paint to freehand paint my butterflies over my base of three coats of 'It's Up To Blu' followed by two coats of HK Girl.

Roses

Over a base of 'My Boyfriend Scales Walls' I sponged a franken blend of My BF Scales Walls and 'Black Onyx' to add some texture. I then added my roses using acrylic paint and topped it off with two coats of HK Girl. p.s. Please excuse my dry cuticles it's been very hot and dry here lately!

New Years Bling

For this mani I used a few different techniques including drag marble and vertical gradient as well as incorporating 24 carat gold flake and gold studs for a very feminine New Year look. *Inspired by Chic Pretty Nails

Delicate Snowflakes

I felt like doing some fine line work so I freehand painted these delicate snowflakes in acrylic paint on a gradient background.

Watercolour Floral

I thought I'd try a different technique; watercolour painting. I used watered down acrylic paints for the floral print, added some gold studs to the navy nails and topped it all off with a couple of coats of glossy top coat.

Triple Scaled Gradient

I was inspired by Cristine from Simply Nailogical who did a gorgeous quadruple scaled gradient. I, however only did a triple because it took me forever to do! lol I still love the result though! ♥

Fun at the Beach

Trying to encourage the onset of Summer here in New Zealand with some fun beach nails ... ... Although I think I've upset the Weather Gods instead, it's freezing! All of the details were painted with my Just Nails Dance 24 nail art brush and acrylic paints.

Houndstooth Gradient

I started with a gradient of Camelot and Ice Castle, then freehanded the houndstooth pattern with black acrylic paint and added two coats of HK girl to give a smooth glossy finish.
