NAIL,That Nail Art:October Edition

so i thought it was time to yet another nail tutorial, seen as they prove to be quite popular and i have no other ideas at the moment :)

So i was looking through a magazine when this advertisement caught my eye.

MUA Nail Beads
(beads similar have been called the caviar manicure eww!)
they're like little coloured balls that go on your nails, that if I'm being honest remind me of hundreds and thousands

see the resemblance!

anyway.......i think they look really cool espsilly when used on just the ring finger

how to apply the beads
  1. after applying a clear base coat apply a colour coat
  2. while still wet dip your finger into the beads
  3. remove finger from the pot of beads and apply a small amount of pressure to make sure they are on proply
  4. apply a top coat over the beads
and they're done!

You can get the beads from Superdrug , they come in a range of colours and are £3 which int bad

this nail art is something abit different,and the 3D balls create a great effect.i havent seen many people wearing them but thats no excuse for you not too! (if you like them that is)

NAIL,that nail art-September Edition

Sorry for not posting I have no excuses apart from the fact that I haven't got round to it, for which I apologise.

This is my tenth post Yey!! During which I have gained 3 lovely followers and 113 page views which is ok I guess as I am relatively new,so let's make it a good one! I hope you like :)

If you don't know Like to post about creative nail art not just the standard plain colour,don't get me wrong I love one colour nails but I feel amazing nails bring out your creativity and can complete an outfit.so here we go!

Tuxedo Nails


These nails have been spotted on Zooey dechanel, I LOVE the idea of them as there original and quirky.
There are many versions of this nail art, ill do both of the ones above.

HOW TO CREATE THE TUXEDO NAIL:VERSION 1
(picture on the right like Zooeys)

  1. Paint all of your nails white (use more then one coat if needed)
  2. make a dot near the top of your nail
  3. with a dotting tool make 4 more dots that outline a basic bow shape
  4. join the dots to the centre dot to create a bow
  5. paint a line across the bottom of your nail,like you would paint the white when doing a french manicure.
  6. add three more dots between the black line and bow

this is the version zooey wore for version 2 (picture on the left (top)) just change the black manicure line into a v shape so you are left with a white triangle in the middle,this my be best drawn before the bow and dots
hope that's not confusing :/

so i love this look, and collars are big this season so why not mix the two together and make a peter pan collar version.
