Tools

I used:

• Collection French Mani 322 French Pink
• Rimmel 60 Seconds 703 White Hot Love
• Barry M Black Nail Art Pen
• La Femme Top Coat 118
• Sponge
• Circular gems

Step 1

Paint your nails with the nude nail varnish.

Step 2

Using the sponge, dab white onto the tips of your nails, making it fade from the tip upwards.

Step 3

Using the black nail art pen, draw half a snowflake, as described in this previous post, against the cuticle.

Step 4

Paint over the whole nail with the top coat and, while it is still wet, place a gem in the centre of the snowflake. Then, once it has dried, cover it all in another top coat to stop the gem falling off.

Firework nails!

Firework Nails!

(I know this is a little late for Bonfire Night but better late than never, right!)

Finished nails

Tools

I used:

• Collection French Mani 103 French White
• La Femme Ultra Yellow 128
• La Femme Ultra Gold 135
• La Femme  Ultra Pink 132
• La Femme Ultra Blue 127
• Rimmel Lasting Finish 080 Black Cab
• La Femme Top Coat 118
• Masking tape

Step 1

Paint your nails with the white. You will probably need two coats to get a smooth effect.

Step 2

Paint a yellow spot on each nail using the brush that comes with the nail varnish as fireworks aren't perfectly symmetrical. I tried doing two on some fingers but it came out quite messy in the end so I wouldn't recommend it.

Step 3

Paint around the yellow using the orange, also using the brush that comes with the varnish to create the feathered effect.

Step 4

Paint around the orange with the red, the same way you did the orange.

Step 5

Repeat again with the blue.

Step 6

Cut lots of tiny curved pieces of tape (this can take a while!) and stick them on your nail radiating out from the centre of the yellow, all the way to the edge of your nail. Paint over this using the black and then remove all the tape immediately, before the nail varnish becomes tacky as this can pull as you remove the tape. 

Step 7

Cover over the design with a top coat to protect it and give it a nice finish.

Spider Web Nails!

A perfect design for Hallowe'en this year

Finished nails

Tools

I used:

• H&M Sparkling Silver
• Barry M black nail art pen
• La Femme Top Coat 118

Step 1

Paint your nails silver.

Step 2

With the nail art pen, draw three lines from the middle of the base of your nail. Don't draw them all the way to the tip, you want to stop about half way down.

Step 3

With the pen, draw curvy lines joining up the spokes of the spider web. You will probably fit two rows in, unless you have really long nails!

Finally, cover the design with the top coat to protect it.
