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.

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.
