Flowers, flowers, flowers!

Well you'll be pleased to know I found my camera!! Yay, so here is the tutorial I promised about a billion years ago! Sorry! x

This was don't on false white nails that I had because I like wearing them! And I find the design lasts longer and it's so much easier to paint on them!

First find the nails that fit you best, or prepare your natural nails by applying a base coat

These are the polishes that I used, my base and top coat is Sally Hansen double duty, and the base colour is Maybelline Forever strong PRO, in- 75 'Ivory Rose' 

The rest are just cheap and bright, the striper is my usual RIO one in black

Apply two coats of your pale base colour, or until it is opaque

Then with one of your bright colours or however many different colours you want on one nail, add small circles

I had a different colour per nail, but you can switch it up!

Then in the middle of your flower make a small black circle with your striper

The work outwards with petal shapes, and add and fill in the leaves

This flower is slightly different, add a semicircle at the bottom 

Then work outwards in rows till it's full

Like this! Then add leaves

This was my full set

Now enjoy wearing your lovely flowery nails!

Try out!

So I had a look at a totallycoolnails video linked here. For peach roses. As I was going out in a red dress, I thought I would tweak it slightly!

My nails are fake in this! I brought plain white ones, painted them and the glued them on. this is because I had to do my nails the day before I went out, and that meant surviving work (in a craft cafe) and my dreadful habit of peeling off my nail varnish. I fond wearing fakes makes it virtually impossible to peel off the design!

Hope you like it!

Sorry everyone for my complete lack of Christmas posts, but I had an insanely busy time!! More to come in the new year, I absolutely promise!

Panda!

This is a simple and easy and fast design. Its cute and fun to wear! The panda manicure! I did this on my sisters nails that are really short so good news all you nail biters!

First do your base coat, because your whole nail isn't covered in this design it gives it a nice shine.

Then make semi circles at the bottom of your nails leaving room above for ears!

Now on each side of the head add two small black semi circles and fill them in. do this with the striper.

Now add a tiny pick dot at the bottom this is his nose!

With a dotting tool or make up brush make two black dots for the eyes

Once they are dry add white spots on top of those.

And then tiny black spots in those for pupils!

And now your done! Enjoy the pandas! coming next is a cute heart design!
