Purple Crossed Nails!

Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Barry M 348 Prickly Pear
• Cairuo Blueberry 13
• Rimmel 430 Porcelain 
• Cairuo Top Coat 
• Masking tape
• Small paintbrush

Step 1

Paint your nails with the pale purple. 

Step 2

Stick a corner of the tape over the two sides of your nail and paint over your whole nail in the dark purple to make this effect. Peel the tape off immediately so it doesn't pull off the edges of the dark purple.

Step 3

Using the paintbrush, paint white crosses across your nails.

Step 4

Cover your nails in the top coat. Surprisingly, it actually brings out the dark purple a lot - in the photo below, the finger on the right has a top coat on and the one on the left does not!

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.

Tools

I used:

• Collection 2000 Blackjack 2
• Barry M MNTP3 633
• Primark Mini Silver Glitter
• Colour Cosmetic 07 Top Coat
• Silver glitter
• Small paintbrush 

Step 1

Paint your nails black.

Step 2

Using the paintbrush, paint curved silver lines on your nails.

Step 3

Fill in some of the gaps between the silver lines with the glitter nail polish. You could use the paintbrush or the nail polish brush itself.

Step 4

Using the top coat, stick some silver glitter dots to the silver lines. You may wish to use tweezers to position the dots and ensure they are pushed down onto the nail completely.

Finally, cover your nails in a thick layer of top coat to protect them and make sure the glitter doesn't fall off.

Blue and White Gradient Nails!

Finished Nails

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.

Chequered Chevron Nails!

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.
