Morning After the Night Before Skincare

 

If this describes your current state this Sunday morning grab a cuppa and read on...

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!
