Stripes and Flower nail art


Hi everyone,
Testing a new flower technique, didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted, but anyway there we are.

Step 1: Paint two nails white and the rest blue, I used essie; strut your stuff.

Step 2: Using a black polish paint some stripes on one of the white nails. You can either free hand or use tape, I attempted free hand with a varying degree of success.


Step 3:  Now for the flower, start by painting the stem using black. Then using a square brush dipped in a mixture of different blues, now going round in semi-circular motions create the petals. Then using a small dotting tool, add some black spots in the middle. 

Step 4: Use a matte finish topcoat.

Scotland nail art

Image
Hi everyone, I went to Scotland in the summer holiday last year and as usual I did a country specific nail design. Step 1: Start by painting one nail red, one light blue, one dark blue and two white.  Step 2: Paint half of the light blue nail green. Then sponge on different greens, blues, and whites to add a natural feel. Step 3: Write Scotland on the dark blue nail. Step 4: Paint a blue thistle on the white nail. Step 5: Mix black and clear polish and paint the first two vertical stripes, use nail tape to make sure they are straight. Then add four black horizontal stripes and thereafter paint two white lines one vertical and one horizontal. Step 6: Now paint the Scottish cow using brown and beige. Step 7: Finish off with a top-coat. Have a lovely week.

Pink nail tape nail art

Hi everyone, I have continued to experiment with nail stickers. I started playing with nail tape as well and I think it turned out quite well. The only problem is that I can’t quite make the tape stick to my nails properly. Step 1: Paint all nails light pink, I used a Ciaté nail polish in the colour dollhouse. Step 2: Now place two pieces of pink nail tape on all nails. Personally, I think the horizontal lines worked best. Step 3: Finish off with a top-coat. I hope you have a lovely week
