Flower Nails! Yay!



So I started off with a natural green for the base, this nail polish is quite thick so I only needed one coat. You might need two.



Once that is done you need to build your flowers out of little dots. I used a white for the centre of mine. I have this special little tool I use for making dots but a blunted toothpick or orange stick will work just as well.


Put a blob on the end of your dotting stick (I have no idea what this tool is actually called!) Not too much or it will make a mess of your nail.

Put one or two white dots on each nail. Remember that each is the centre for a flower so don't put them too close together or near the edge of your nail.


You will need two more colours to make up the rest of the flowers, both of these are from Penneys and are pretty good for the price of them.

Using the same method as the white central dots put five dots circling the central one 


 Repeat for all the nails, leave them dry then apply a top coat! And there you have it, quick cute nails!

Wildly show them all to your friends and let them know where you got the idea!

Caviar Nails



GUYS!!! CAVIAR NAIL ART!!!
Why haven't I tried this before!! It is so cute, for my first try it's okay, I didn't use enough beads BUT still very cute, I couldn't decide on a colour so mixed up loads of of different ones!

Just paint a base coat on, let it dry then put a really thick layer of paint on and pour tons of beads onto it. Make sure you have a tray underneath to catch all the excess beads. Let the beads settle and press down on the nail gently, brush the excess beads off the side of your nail and voila!!
Let it dry for 15 minutes and apply a clear top coat.
I got a small set of 10 different colours for €1.50 in Dealz, I'd recommend getting a small set first, experimenting and then if you love it (which I know you totally will) buy a larger bag of beads from e-bay for like 99p!

Not my photo but they turned out exactly like this

Next time I do them I am going to put on plenty more beads than this.
