Flower nails!

Flower Nails!
A perfect design for Remembrance Sunday

Rating: **

Finished nails
Tools
I used:
  • 'Collection 2000 103 French White'
  • 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 030 Double Decker Red'
  • 'Collection 2000 Nail Care Top Coat'
  • Salon Express Stamper 
  • Nail Varnish remover
  • Tissue

Step 1

Paint the nails white.


Step 2

Paint the nails red.



Step 3

Use the stamper to put the flower design onto each nail. You will need to clean the stamper with the nail varnish remover and tissue between each nail. The stamper is quite tricky to use so do some practices beforehand and don't expect it to be perfect the first time around. 


Finally, cover the nails in the top coat and clean up around them with nail varnish remover.

Halloween Nails!

Halloween Nails!
(slightly belated but better late than never, right..?)

Rating: **

Finished nails
Tools
I used:
  • 'Collection 2000 103 French White'
  • 'Miss Beauty 21 Sunset'
  • 'Barry M black Nail Art Pen'
  • 'Barry M 54 Clear'
  • Sponge

Step 1

Paint your nails white to protect them from staining when you remove the orange


Step 2

Paint your nails orange. I only used one coat and got a pretty decent coverage but you might want to use two if your orange isn't as thick.


Step 3

Dab a bit of the black onto the sponge and make the tips of each nail black. You want the part of your nail which is usually white to be completely covered with black (like a French tip mani) and then you want it to fade into the orange.



Step 4

Use the pen to draw bats on the remaining orange section of your nail. Draw the ones at the top slightly smaller than those at the bottom, if you can, although this is a little tricky.



Step 5

Cover the nails in a top coat to protect the design. If you do this immediately after doing the bats it is liable to smudge so wait a few hours before doing this to prevent it. Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look presentable!
