Step 1

Paint your nails red.

Step 2

Using the pen, draw a henna design on your ring finger. You may wish to look up henna designs online first, or you can create your own.

Using the pen, add three small dots down from the base of all your other nails.

Finally, cover your nails in the top coat to protect them.

Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• La Femme Gold
• Miss Sporty 063
• La Femme Jupiter 84
• Barry M 705 Quick dry top coat
• Make-up sponge

Step 1

Using the makeup sponge, dab the gold glitter onto each nail, making it thick at the tip and fading up to nothing at the base of the nail.

Step 2

Using the makeup sponge, dab the orange over the top of the gold, stopping further from the tip than you did with the gold. 

Step 3

Using the makeup sponge again, dab the red over the top of the orange, stopping even further from the tip than with the previous two colours.

Finally, cover your nails in the top coat to protect them.

Gold Stripes!

Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Barry M 245 Gold
• 17 Fury
• All About Nails 101 Cocoa
• La Femme Top Coat 118
• Tape

 Step 1

Paint your nails with the Barry M gold. You will probably want two coats to get a full coverage.

Step 2

Make sure the base coat is completely dry. Then put some tape over the left side of the base of your nail, about a third of the way across, at an angle and paint over the rest of the nail with the 17 gold. Make sure you remove the tape immediately, before the nail varnish goes tacky and pulls as you remove the tape.

Step 3

Repeat step 2 with the darkest gold, two thirds of the way across your nail.

Finally, cover over the design in a top coat to protect it and smooth it out.

Autumn Leaf Nails!

Autumn Leaves Nails!

Apologies for our mysterious absence but I found these from ages ago and thought I would post them. Don't expect posts to suddenly appear - it's surprisingly difficult to find time to do the more intricate designs but we do have a few ideas and old designs that are still on my camera which will be coming your way every fortnight for the next month or two!

Acrylic Paints

Tools

I used:

• Collection 2000 Lasting Colour19 Berry Hot
• 619 Cadmium Orange acrylic paint
• 651 Lemon Yellow acrylic paint
• 701 Gold Imit acrylic paint
• Clear top coat
• 20/0 paintbrush

Step 1

Paint the nails with the red nail varnish.

Step 2

Paint the orange leaves on the nail using the orange acrylic paint and a small paintbrush. You could use nail varnish instead of acrylic paint but I found it easier to paint the leaves using paint. To do each branch of the leaf, draw a line and then add the points.

Step 3

Repeat the process using the yellow acrylic paint.

Step 4

Repeat the process with the gold acrylic paint.

Step 5

Cover the design in clear nail varnish to protect it and make it shiny as acrylic paint is rather dull. Also, clean up around the nails with nail varnish remover.
