Winter Wonderland Nails

Hi guysss :)
As promised here's another winter inspired nail design.


I thought I'd have a go at sponging :) to create a snowy effect. Its an effective technique but pretty messy :)
Here's how I did it...
  • I used Barry M Navy for the base coat (two coats if you want a really deep blue)
  • Then once the blue was dry I dripped some white nail varnish onto some paper
    (it would probably be better to use something like foil because the varnish did soak into the paper)
  • Then I used a small make-up sponge, dipped it into the white, and blotted it on top of the blue.
  • Less is more, its best to start at the tip with a faint coat and gradually build up the colour.
  • For a bit of extra sparkle I added some silver glitter on top of the white. If you wanted to bling it up you could add a few silver nail gems :)
So what'cha think? :)

It Won't Be Long Now...

Hi guys!
First of I'll I just want to tell you my poppy design when down a treat and I've ended up painting it for five members of my family! They loved it :)
Anyway...
Winter is well on its way so I thought I'd get cracking on my winter design nails.
So here's a little sneak peak...

I used the Barry M Grey (293) for the base coat and then added the white on top to create a snow effect. My way of cheering up the grey skys :)
So this is the first of my winter designs but I will have many more to come :)
So guys What'cha think?7

P.S. Guysss! you might have noticed I've tried to have a little re-vamp with my blog, and its pretty amateur. So if any of you have any tips or advice?? I'd be very grateful :)
