How to | Sparkly Christmassy Nails

You can also do another layer of the Sally Hansen clear polish as a top coat but I didn't because I don't like having too many layers on as it takes ages to dry and I end up smudging it!

How to | Galaxy nails!

I apologize for the fact that it looks like a 5 year old has painted them for me,
I did actually do it myself...

1. Choose a dark colour to paint as the background for this effect and apply one layer.

If you do more than one then it becomes gloopy and will take sooo long to dry, and it's going to have more coats on top so it doesn't matter too much how good it looks!

2. Use a sponge to dab on the first colour. It doesn't have to be neat or look the same on each nail.

3. Wait for this to dry before you use another sponge (or the other side of the same one like I did!) to apply the lighter colour, focussing on the other side of the nail but it looks good if it overlaps a bit too!

4. Paint a glitter polish all over the top for the starry effect! 

Easy peasy intergalactic nails!

Triangle nails...

Wasn't sure what to call this style, not really triangles but I can't think of any other way to accurately describe them...
Hmmm... Anyway here is an easy peasy way of making short nails appear longer and also a tad pointier, at least I think so! You can use any colour combo you like, I may add some glitter next time, or when the sun decides to show I may use pastels!

So for this I began with this little gem, as my nails have been a bit weak lately...

Then I painted them with two coats of Barry M Dusky Mauve...

Then I used a white nail art pen to draw lines from the corner of each nail into a point near the tip...

I finished it off with a clear top coat and that was that, triangle-y mauve-y pointy looking nails :)

Hope you like! Has anyone got any other (easy to do with a rather shaky hand...) nail art ideas can I try?

Have a good weekend!

Jubilee nails!

Happy Diamond Jubilee Queeny and citizens of the UK! Thought I'd get into the spirit the best way I know how... nail art :) Here are my Jubilee nails, they are little Union Jacks but I didn't go for the conventional red, white and blue as I wanted to be different and use some pastels! So I have have used three colours, the green is  Bourjois So Laque, the pink is Rimmel 60 second nail polish and I also used a white nail art pen. I realise they aren't the neatest of union jacks but it is very tricky (I haven't photographed my right hand!) I think they look quirky and like they are meant to be a bit wobbly... that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it! If you have an easy way of doing a straight line please do tell :)

                                                                Step 1: Paint base coat...

  Step 2: paint a cross and then a wonky cross in white...

Step three: Paint over white lines in pink, leaving outline!

Waa laa slightly... rustic, shall we say, Jubilee nails! 

I wore them today whilst celebrating the bank holiday by looking round the stalls and having a pic-nic at Hampton Court. The sun even came out, and I took a few good snaps, which I'll put in below! What are you doing to celebrate?

Enjoy the bank holiday!
