Crystal Tipped Nails

American Apparel's Glitter nail polish - Super pretty, nightmare to remove....


Clear base coat to start, then use a fine glitter polish to create a glitter gradient down the nail
Finally use American Apparel Glitter in 'Galaxy' to tip each nail. May take a couple of coats to get full crystal tipped effect.

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!

Star Wars Day Nails - May the 4th Be With You

Today I received a bunch of packages I've been waiting for from overseas, including lower-lash eyelashes, a set of nail art pens and my first pair of EOS lenses!


As today is May 4th, I've used my new pens to do a Star Wars inspired nail set featuring Boba Fett, a stormtrooper and R2D2 :)

I bought these nail pens really cheap (about £8) on ebay from an international seller and they're really good for getting to grips with nail designs.
The lower lashes seen above are also from ebay, but im not completely convinced that these are good quality ones, so I'll have to test them out later.

I'll be trying out and reviewing my first EOS lenses tomorrow, with links and more info about lenses....
