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.
Thanks for reading ♥

Rawr! Traditional Tiger...

This is a really easy but bold nail design that is super quick and can be done in two simple steps:

The products I used are:
-Charlie Nail Enamel in Orange (this came in a Charlie Revlon Essence gift set and I don't think they sell them separately)
-LA Colours Nail Laquer in Black

So, first of all, paint all your nails orange:










Then, take your black art brush and free handedly paint on stripes from the sides of your nail. A really fine art brish creates the best effect. Flick them as you reach the end of the stripe to create that fine point.


And that's it!

This nail design is very popular and there are many different takes on this...such as using different colours or creating an ombre effect with white like Rihanna....

 





Have fun trying out this design!
