Tools

I used:

• Rimmel 60 Seconds 703 White Hot Love
• Barry M Confetti Liquorice 319
• Rio Professional Nail Art Pen in Black
• Rimmel Lasting Touch Ultra Shine Top Coat

Step 1

Paint your nails white.

Step 2

Paint all your nails, except the ring finger on each hand with the confetti.

Step 3

With the black pen, draw a treble clef in the middle of each ring finger (you may need a friend to help you on your dominant hand). I used the dotting tool as a pen and squeezed gently. This may take some practice so don't launch straight into doing it on your final nail design! Then add some musical notes around it. I did one either side but you could do more or less, as you see fit.

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

Finished nails

Tools

I used:

• H&M Sparkling Silver
• Barry M black nail art pen
• La Femme Top Coat 118

Step 1

Paint your nails silver.

Step 2

With the nail art pen, draw three lines from the middle of the base of your nail. Don't draw them all the way to the tip, you want to stop about half way down.

Step 3

With the pen, draw curvy lines joining up the spokes of the spider web. You will probably fit two rows in, unless you have really long nails!

Finally, cover the design with the top coat to protect it.
