Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Collection 2000 5 Fire Engine Red
• Collection 2000 103 French White
• Color Show 749 Electric Yellow
• Miss Beauty 355 Neon Green
• Kiko 041 Brown
• Barry M Blackjack
• Essence 01 Absolute Pure
• Masking tape
• Small dotting tool
• Small paintbrush

Step 1

Stick the tape over most your nail and paint the tip red. Remove the tape immediately to stop it pulling the varnish off.

Step 2

Using a small dotting tool, or a cocktail stick, paint white dots on the red section of your nail.

Step 3

Using the paintbrush, paint 4 teardrops all pointing towards the centre of the flower, slightly offset to one side of your nail.

Step 4

Using the dotting tool add a yellow dot in the centre of the petals.

Step 5

I didn't have the right shade of green so I mixed together some of the lime green and the brown on a palette until I had the right shade. Then, using the paintbrush, create a swipe and two teardrops. You may need to do two or more coats to get it thick enough.

Step 6

Using the paintbrush, draw a semicircle above the flower on your ring fingers.

Step 7

Add tiny dots to the semicircle.

Step 8

Using the paintbrush, add a black dot to the same side as the leaves. Then add two curls going up, for the antennae. Also, add a top coat to smooth it out and give it a nice shine.

Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Seventeen Pink 59628
• Miss Beauty 21 Sunset
• Color Show 749 Electric Yellow 
• Black acrylic paint 
• Barry M Quick Dry Top Coat 704

Step 1

Paint a gradient on your nails with the pink, orange and yellow nail varnishes using the make up sponge.

Step 2

Using the small paintbrush, add a palm tree or two to each nail. To paint the trees, first add a stripe for the trunk then 5 stripes radiating from the top keeping them curving downwards at the tips for the branches. Then carefully add little flecks along each branch for the leaves. Finally add a very rough line for the ground at the base of the tree.

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

Finished Nails

Tools

Tools:

• Colletion 2000 5 Fire Engine
• Black Stamping Polish
• Cllection 2000 Blackjack 2
• H&M Sparkling Silver
• Colour Cosmetic 07 Top Coat
• Stamping tool
• Tape
• Diamond gems
• Paintbrush

Step 1

Paint your nails red.

Step 2

Using the stamp and the black stamping polish, paint the small squares on the base of your nail. Make sure you cover at least half the nail, but it doesn't need to be precise as you will paint over the tips in a minute.

Step 3

Place a piece of tape over the squares, with a corner in the middle of your nail, and then paint over your nails with the black nail varnish. Remove the tape immediately after painting the nail.

Step 4

Using a paintbrush, paint a silver line along the edge of the black nail varnish.

Step 5

Stick a diamond gem onto the centre of each nail, below the point of the black, using a generous amount of top coat.

Cover your nails in a thick top coat to prevent the gem coming off too easily.
