Finished Nails
Tools

I used:
  • 'Collection 2000 103 French White'
  • 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 500 Disco Ball'
  • 'Barry M 290 Spring Green'
  • 'Collection 44 Parma Violet'
  • 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 030 Double Decker Red'
  • 'Miss Beauty No. 21 Sunset'
  • 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 280 Sunshine'
  • 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 198 Azure'
  • 'Collection 2000  Nail Care Top Coat'
  • A tissue
  • Nail varnish remover
  • A small, metal banded paintbrush (plastic would dissolve!) - I used size 10/0

Step 1

Paint your nails white. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!



Step 2

Paint over the white with a coat of sparkly. Try not to get too many sparkles on each nail or it will look cluttered.



Step 3

Using the paintbrush, paint a balloon shape with the green on your thumbs. Position it slightly to one side to allow for the other balloon.



Step 4

Using the paintbrush, paint another balloon shape with the purple on your thumbs. If need be, repeat steps 3 and 4 with another coat of varnish.



Step 5

Add on the strings of the balloons using the black.



Step 6

Paint wavy lines on each of your other fingers for the streamers. I chose to do three on each finger but you can do as many or as few as you like. I also chose to do them in several colours but, if you want it to look more uniform, you could use different shades of one colour or two complementing colours.



Step 7

Paint over each nail with the top coat to seal in the design.



Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.
