Glittery and Glamorous Baubles

My festive collection! 




This is my first collection of the same inspired design but with a different coloured base, these particular colours that link with Christmas and new year!

Here is a image of the particular Bauble that I took inspiration from, and below the image is my nail design.


This whole design came to mind when I was putting up the Christmas tree and noticed how beautiful the decorations were  and thought to myself this would be a simple and effective nail design.




This is the list of equipment you will need:
  • Chosen colour for your base of the design
  • Gold glitter nail polish
  • Top and base coat
  • Dotting tool
Here is a list of instructions to help you create this design. Don't worry it really is as simple as it looks.

  • Firstly paint a clear base coat to protect your nails from polish stains, and leave to dry.
  • Secondly chose any particular colour for your base of the design (paint double for full coverage and colour) and leave dry.
  • Thirdly once all your nails are dry get a dotting tool with a small tip and dip it into gold glitter polish ( this will give the touch of glamour).
  • Now with the dotting tool draw three curved lines (starting from the bottom with small curved line and work your way up with larger curved line.)
  • Finally once all your nails are dry paint you Top coat, this will not only prevent your nails from chipping but also give your nails that extra sparkle for the New Year!

MY NAILS GO FESTIVE!

FESTIVE NAILS


This is my first nail design that shows my love for Christmas.
This colourful nail design is simple and easy to do, perfect to get others inspired and excited for Christmas!

This is the list of equipment I used for the nail design:
  • White, red, gold glitter and green nail polish (Traditional Christmas colours)
  • Small and thin nail art brush
  • Topcoat and base coat
These are my straight-forward instructions to help you create this simple design:
  • Firstly make sure your nails are free from any old polish and filed perfectly and then as usual paint your base coat to protect your nails from polish stains.
  • Secondly paint your thumb,middle and baby finger in green and leave to dry ( If you are using a light green then I would suggest you double coat it for full coverage ) 
  • Whilst they are drying paint your index and fourth finger in Matt white and leave to dry.
  • Now for the touch of Christmas........ on my nails that are painted white I used a small and thin paintbrush which is then dipped it the same green polish and used to draw my Christmas tree. (for those of you that are new to nail art and need some tips, to draw the Christmas tree I painted three triangles going down from small to big this will create a defined and realistic Christmas tree) Then still on the same nails, paint the tips in red.  
  • Whilst they are drying, for the nails that are painted green paint the nail tips in gold glitter for that extra sparkle on Christmas.
  • Finally once all your nails are dried you then paint your topcoat to secure your amazing nail art in one neat place.
I know these instructions seem long but hopefully it is clear enough to help and guide through your own Christmas nail art inspired by my latest festive design. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2 YOU ALL! x

Monochromatic Nails!!

Monochromatic Butterflies!!

This is my latest nail design, which i love because the colour scheme black and white; it is always on trend for nails, and butterflies are different for me.

This design is as simple as it looks!


Here is my list of equipment that I used to complete this simplistic design:

Base and Topcoat
black and white nail polish (Barry M)
Nail art brush (Thin size)


Here are my instructions to help you create this monochromatic design:

Firstly make sure your nails are free of polish and perfectly shaped.

Secondly paint your base coat which will help protect your nails.


Thirdly paint your thumb, middle, and baby nail in Matt white by  Barry M (double coat for full coverage)

Whilst they are drying paint your index and fourth nails in Black by Barry M (double coat)

when they are all dry get your nail art brush and dip it in the Black polish and on the white nails draw (neatly as possible) a butterfly it can be big or small whatever you prefer.

finally once they are dry add your top coat for prevention of chipping.
