My Models Own x Salon WAH art pens arrived this week and I'm in love with them, though this picture hasn't done justice to what my nails looked like this week. The white with Beth's Blue looked so pretty, and I'm currently polka dotting every nail in sight (I've got yellow and white fingernails and red and white toenails at the moment!). If you haven't bought them yet, definitely make the purchase because they're so easy to use. I half-heartedly attempted the leopard print like WAH show on their online tutorial, and I still don't see how she gets the print like that. Let me know if you have better luck!

I watched Amelie with my boyfriend for the first time last night and it's now reigning as one of my favourite movies. All I can say is: Fur pie doesn't sell.

You need to see the official video for this, it's so sweet and the dance makes me smile. It seemed appropriate last Wednesday when everyone was whipping out the hammocks and bbqs in our student accommodation.

Yesterday, I came across a tutorial by WAH nails for their famous leopard print design on their Tumblr page. They used the nail art pens which were released as part of their collaboration with Models Own. I haven't bought them yet, but I think I'll add them to my cart as a post-essay treat as everyone seems to think they're pretty good. In the video the woman says to make disconnected triangle shapes, or kind of semi-circle shapes, which didn't work out too great on my first trial. My thumb nail in the first photo was my first attempt, and it didn't really come out looking like leopard print. It started getting a little better across the rest of my nails, but by the time I got to my second hand I went back to my old technique - random splodges - which came out much better.

No doubt if you use the art pens, and have a little more practice at the technique, then it will come out better as the tutorial shows. I hope they do more tutorials because it will be amazing to see how they do some of the more complex designs.

Have you tried this technique? Do you use the art pens?
