Black and White Split Nails

Black and White Split

Rating: **

Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Rimmel 621 Mary Mary Quite Contrary
• Collection 2000 1 Liquorice
• H&M Sparkling Glitter
• La Femme Top Coat 118
• Paintbrush
• Small dotting tool

Step 1

Paint your nails white.

Step 2

Paint a small curve of black on one side of your nail. This does not need to be perfectly neat as you will not see much of the dividing line.

Step 3

Using the dotting tool, add small silver dots along the join between the two colours.

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

Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Barry M Cotton 505
• Collection 2000 Berry Hot 19
• Unknown
• H&M Super Glitter
• La Femme 118 Top Coat
• Paintbrush

Step 1

Paint your nails white.

Step 2

Paint red streaks across your nails using the paintbrush. Don't make the edges straight, give them a little bit of curve. One main stripe across the middle and a small one at the tip works nicely.

Step 3

Using the paintbrush, paint green lines either side of the red stripes. Also add one or two thin lines on the white sections. Again, don't make these lines completely straight.

Finally cover the design in a top coat to smooth it out and protect it.

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.

Water Marbled Nails!

Finished Nails

Tools

 I used:

• Maybelline New York 661 Ocean Blue
• Barry M Gelly Cotton 505
• Love Your Nails Fast Dry Spray
• Water
• Cocktail stick

Step 1

Paint your nails blue.

Step 2

For the water marbled effect, fill a small pot with water. Drip a small amount of white nail varnish into it.

Step 3

Spray it with the drying spray as this will cause it to separate.

Step 4

Immediately dip a nail into the water, over the part of nail varnish which looks the best.

Step 5

Wait a few seconds for the nail varnish to start drying and then collect up the spare with a cocktail stick. You can then lift the finger carefully out of the water.

Step 6
 
Cover over the design in a top coat to protect it.

Finished Nails!

Tools

I used:

• Barry M Gelly Cotton 505
• H&M Super Red
• Barry M Gelly Blue Grape 417
• La Femme Top Coat 118
• Tape
• Metal Tipped Small Paintbrush

Step 1

Paint your nails white. Between each step below, spray your nails with the Fast Dry Spray following the instructions on the can so you don't have to spend ages waiting for each layer to dry.

Step 2

Put tape on the four corners of your nails to paint a red cross one each one. Don't make it too wide or too narrow.

Step 3

Using the paintbrush, paint diagonal red lines in the four corners. Make sure they do not touch the red cross you did before.

Step 4

Using the paintbrush (clean the red off with nail varnish remover first), fill in the blue sections, leaving white around all the red. Don't worry too much about which bits of white should be thicker than others - it's too small to make much difference!

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

Finished Nails

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.
