Tiger print nail wraps

I rarely use wraps, but I had these lying around so I thought I'd use them. They're these glitter textured tiger print nail wraps which are really easy to apply. 

First, you select a suitable size and stick it on your nail. Then, you get a hairdryer and blow heat over the nail to melt the glue onto your nail. Let it cool and file off the excess. You can also apply a bit of top coat on the tip of your nail to secure them and so they don't chip. I wouldn't advise putting a top coat over the whole nail as that will ruin the textured effect. 

This is what they look like:

 

These lasted me a little longer than a whole week which i think is pretty good. There's loads of different designs you can try and they're great if you don't have time to do your nails yourself.

Galaxy Nails!

I have really wanted to try out the ombre technique on my nails for ages which is basically when you blend two or more colours to get a gradation effect. So, I thought I'd do this to achieve a galaxy/cosmic style look.

The nail varnishes I used ranged from a really dark green to a royal blue to a deep purple. I blended them together in a vertical manner but I guess you could even do this in a swirly style to make it seem more like galaxy.

The products I used were:

-Collection Hot Looks in '24 Shameless'

-Sally Hansen HD in '18 DVD'
-Collection Lasting Colour in '6 Purple Rain'




Although I used shimmery nail varnishes, I added on a thin coat of gold glitter just to make it extra sparkly. The nails will be quite rough from the blending so you have to put on a good layer of clear top coat. It can also get quite messy so I found it helpful to clean up the edges of my nails with a cotton bud stick dipped in nail polish remover.
This is what it looked like at the end....

Pink sparkle and bow

Today, I am going to share with you this super cute and girly nail design. It's really bright and eye catching with some subtle details, so let's get started....

Products used:
-C200 Hot Looks in Hoola Hoop (click to buy)
-Chit Chat Pink Glitter
-LA Colors Black art lacquer 
-2 small gems, glue, applicator stick





First, you simply want to paint your all your nails in a vibrant pink colour. I used Collection 2000 Hot Looks in 34 Hoola Hoop. The really good thing about this is that you get quite an intense colour in just one coat and it also dries within 60 seconds so you can quickly move on to the next stage. They're only £1.99 aswell!





Next, I used the LA Colors Art Lacquer in Black and drew a bow in the corner of my thumb nail. It has a really fine brush so you can draw it very precisely. Follow the outline shown below and fill it in.
As shown in the 4th stage, draw a curved line from the side of the bow to the end of your nail so it seems as if the bow is tied on.



Once that has dried, take one of your gems and glue in the centre of your bow. The size of the gem depends on the size of the bow. Make sure it is small enough so that it doesn't cover the shape of the bow. I found that using an applicator stick helped a lot rather than using my fingers to pick it up.

I used  little, circular, light blue gems

The last bit of detail I added to this design is the pink glitter from Chit Chat. I applied this on my ring finger nail and this just gave the look a bit of a sparkle and added something irregular against the other plain nails.









And that's all! Here is the finished nail design.

I hope you enjoy this and please let me know what you think :)
