Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Rimmel 60 Seconds 703 White Hot Love
• Revlon 050 Surf Spray
• New Look Deep Navy
• Rimmel Finishing Touch Ultra Shine Top Coat
• Small dotting tool (or a skewer)

Step 1

Paint your nails with a base coat to protect them - I used the white for this. Paint all your nails, except the ring finger, with the light blue. I had to use several coats with this nail varnish as it isn't very thick.

Step 2

Paint your ring fingers with the dark blue.

Step 3

Using the dotting tool (or a skewer if you don't have one), paint three dark blue dots down the centre of each of the pale blue nails.

Step 4

Using the dotting tool again (make sure you clean it first) paint three light blue dots down the centre of the dark blue nails.

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

Pastel Rainbow Stripes Nails!

Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Barry M 245 Gold
• Barry M 304 Mint Green
• Barry M 306 Blueberry I/C
• Barry M 348 Prickly Pear
• Miss Sporty 480 Baby Pink
• Barry M 705 Quick dry top coat
• Striping tape

Step 1

Paint your nails gold.

Step 2

Put three strips of striping tape across each nail.

Step 3

Paint each section of the nail a different pastel colour. I used green, blue, purple, and pink. I did all the nails the same but you could change the ordering for the ring finger to make it an accent nail if you wanted. Make sure you remove the tape immediately after you have painted the colours either side of it so you don't end up pulling the nail varnish off once it is dry.

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

Autumn Glitter Gradient!

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.

Tools

I used:

• Barry M 629 Matte White
• Barry M 306 Blueberry
• Color Show 661 Ocean Blue
• Barry M Quick Dry Top Coat 704
• Striping tape
• Makeup sponge

Step 1

Paint your nails white. 

Step 2

Stick 3 or 4 pieces of striping tape across your nails. I also find it is a good idea to put liquid latex around your nails when doing gradients as it makes cleaning up your fingers much easier!

Step 3

Using the sponge, paint white, pale blue, and dark blue stripes on it and dab it on each nail to create the gradient. You may need to reapply the varnish a few times for each finger. Once you are happy with the gradient, carefully and quickly peel off the tape in the reverse order you applied it, and the liquid latex if you've used it.

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