Christmas Glitter Tips!

Christmas Glitter Tips!

Rating: ***

A little bit late for Christmas but better late than never!

Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Collection 2000 Top Coat Sparkle with Gloss Enhancer
• Barry M 245
• 17 Green
• La Femme Jupiter 84 
• LM Nail Polish 7
• Tape
• Star shaped gems 

Step 1

Paint your nails with the sparkly top coat.

Step 2

Stick the tape across the top half of your nail, diagonally, and paint the tips with the gold. Remove the tape immediately to avoid peeling or stretching the nail varnish.

Step 3

Paint over the gold parts with the green glitter. There is no need to use tape for this step as it doesn't need to be perfect.

Step 4

Paint over this again but with the red glitter. Again, there is no need to use tape.

Step 5

Cover the whole design in the top coat, and then stick a small star in the top corner of each nail.

Finally, cover the whole design in another top coat, making it quite thick, to ensure the star doesn't fall off.

New Year's Nails!

New Year's Nails!

Rating: ****

Apologies for our mini hiatus but we're back now!

This is a little late for New Year's Day, but an idea for next year.

Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Collection 2000 44 Parma Violet
• Chit Chat Violet 61856
• La Femme Top Coat 118
• Glitter Nails 20 Silver
• Stars
• Sponge
• Paintbrush
• Tweezers (optional)

Step 1

Sponge your nails with the blue. Make it nice and thick at the bottom, fading out towards the top and leave a small section at the top uncovered.

Step 2

Paint over the tips with the blue sparkles.

Step 3

Using a paintbrush, add a line of silver sparkles at an angle across each nail.

Step 4

Add stars to each nail, on either side of the silver line. Paint over the whole nail with the top coat and then place them on your nails. You can use tweezers if you need.

Finally cover the design with a top coat. You might need several top coats to ensure that the stars stay on your nails.

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.
