Nails of the Day - Alice In Wonderland v1.0

Heres todays Alice in Wonderland inspired look, using fimo cane slices and rhinestones.



I wanted to do two different Alice in Wonderland looks, this is the first - more based on the queen of hearts, a red/black colour scheme, crowns, playing cards, the white rabbit etc.

My second look will be a blue-based Alice inspired design, which I'll hopefully get up this week.

Super Cute Kawaii Nails

Just a short post of some nails I did for the weekend, using fimo rod slices and nail art rhinestones...

I wanted something really girly and I've just got a new set of fimo rods sent from china which included some hello kittys, hearts, stars, lollypops and bows...

The bases are all Barry M colours, I've used a pink, a lilac and a glitter polish. I used clear topcoat and attached the fimo slices directly to this while wet.

When dry, I used a second topcoat over the top of the gems and fimo pieces to seal them to the nail. I usually use nail glue for this, but this technique worked just as well and the pieces stayed put for several days, despite my poledance classes and going to a festival!
