ELECTRA HEART ♥

It's coming up to Valentine's Day and I wanted to create a design which would not only be appropriate for the specific day, but also one which anyone could wear on any day of the year (hearts aren't JUST for Valentine's Day!). 

I saw these heart-inspired nails sported by Kaley Cuoco and Kelly Osbourne, taken a couple of weeks ago, at the SAG awards:

I loved both of these designs and they inspired me to create my own version...

The pink tips were created with an OPI pink polish and I used a black WAH nail art pen to create the hearts. Finally, my nails were finished off with a light pink gem in the centre of the heart.

Happy Valentine's Day ♥.

HAD TO START SOMEWHERE...

Thought the best inspiration for my first blog post would be the title of it - Golden Claws. 

The main focus of my blog is my nail designs and the inspirations behind them. Although my nails are currently short, there is nothing I love more than to have long, sharp nails; therefore 'Claws' seemed appropriate. Why Golden? It could be that my hair resembles a similar colour, or the fact that gold has connotations of success and power, or just simply because I like it. You decide.

The inspiration for the name of my blog came from my Jeffrey Campbell Lita Claw shoes which I got for Christmas. I adore them.

For this post, I used Barry M nail paints, in black (np47) and gold (np289), Barry M nail effect crackle in gold and some gold studs. This was just a short introduction to my blog and, in future, I hope to have longer posts explaining more behind the inspirations for my nail designs.
