Spider Web Nails!

A perfect design for Hallowe'en this year

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.

TARDIS nails | 1 day to go!

TARDIS in Space Nails!

Rating: ****

Finished nails

Tools

I used:

• 17 Navy Glint
• Rimmel 60 Seconds 819 Green With Envy
• Collection Work the Colour 24 Fairy Dust
• Rimmel Space Dust 006 Moon Walking
• La Femme Electra 98
• Collection 2000 2 in 1 Strengthener and Hardener
• Make up sponge
• 2 small pictures of TARDISs, printed and then cut out

Step 1

Paint your nails with the Navy nail varnish.

Step 2

Using the sponge, dab on some of the green on part of the nail. Do it in a different place on each nail but don't cover more than half of each nail.

Step 3

Using the sponge, dab on some of the pale blue on top of the green. Don't cover all the green up though.

Step 4

Using the sponge, dab some of the purple space dust onto a different part of the nail.

Step 5

Cover the whole design in the sparkly nail varnish. Make sure you get a couple of the large sparkles onto each nail but you don't want them to clump together or it's too overpowering. 

Step 6

Paint a stripe of clear top coat on the nail you want the TARDIS on and immediately place the picture on it. You will need to hold it down until the nail varnish is almost dry to make sure all the corners are stuck. We found that tweezers can be quite useful at this stage.

Step 7

Cover all the nails in a coat of clear nail varnish to smooth it out and protect the design. Take particular care over the TARDIS to make sure it is firmly stuck or it will get caught on things and pull off.
