For someone who is
obsessed with painting her nails, mainly because it stops me from biting them, I
am pretty unadventurous. This makes me feel a bit ashamed really when there are
so many cool nail art products out there, I think I worry they will look awful
and tacky.
However this week I decided
to be a little creative and decided to attempt doing my own glitter tips. For
the base colour I used Models Own Hyper Gel Polish in Lilac Sheen, this is one
of my favorite colours this summer and has become my go to nail colour. I put
on two coats of this polish and let it dry.
When it was fully dry
I used a sponge makeup brush (you can pick these pretty cheap in places like Superdrug)
to dab on the glitter. For my glitter polish I used another Models Own polish in
Southern Lights. It’s quite a fine glitter and very pretty and colour so I thought
it would complement the lilac. I just dabbed the glitter to the tips of my
nails but if you wanted you could easily do more or make patterns.
I am pretty impressed
with my handy work and have had some lovely compliments. I think next time I am
going to use the same technique and attempt ombre nails!
These look really gorgeous!!! I am useless at nail art but want to get better at just painting them haha xx
