Nail tutorial: Starry Night!

Hi everyone,

Today i  have a nail tutorial for you because i am extremely busy at the moment, but i will have some more reviews coming Wednesday and next Saturday!

So this is what i did to create this look:


Apply a base coat so the nail polishes don't stain your fingernails, i just used a clear nail polish,

Sally Hansen diamond strength no ship nail colour, in :  1 Flawless


I waited for that to dry then i applied a thin coat of the nail colour you need to make the night time, so any dark blue/black will be perfect, i used,

Nail inc. in:  Motcomb street ( In glamour magazine)


When that has dried i applied another coat to make sure that it is completely opaque:


Now the nails are dry, we are going to make the stars in the sky, now as i didn't know i was even going to do a starry night look i was just putting glitter over mine then people commented on how it looked that way. So i used a fine/sheer gold and silver glitter polish, but as the stars are white, it would probably be more effective with just silver glitter, but i still loved how mine turned out! I used:


Nail inc. in:  Glamour Glitter (In glamour magazine)

Now the next step is to use you favourite top coat, i personally use a fast drying one because I'm so impatient just sitting down waiting for them to dry, so if i move i instantly smudge them! I use:

Then your all done! I hope you liked it and try and re-create this look, i think its perfect for winter months. Thanks for reading, bye!

Fierce Red and Leopard Nail Tutorial!

Hello there everyone! 

So today i am going to show you how to do these nails:

Its a touch of leopard on your ring finger(4th finger) and then red nail polish on the rest of your nails. I think this is a really cute, easy nail design which looks great day to day, or for even a special event!

NAIL ROCK designer nail wraps in leopard.
So first thing you want to do is start with the leopard, I used the NAIL ROCK designer nail wraps in leopard, just on the fourth finger next to your pinkie! 

You could actually just paint the leopard design on your nail yourself with nail pens, there are tutorials how to do it on you tube, but i found this abit easier for me.

What you want to do is buff, file and shape the nail.You then want to use the acetone on the nail that comes with it. Then apply the nail wrap and hold it down for a couple minutes, and then shape it so it matches your natural nails. 


All you want to do then is paint the rest of your nails with a classic red colour! Red is one of my favourite because it makes your nails look very elegant, but i feel it can look abit plain by itself, so that's why i added the leopard.


OPI RED
I painted mine with an O.P.I nail lacquer, and the shade was just 'OPI RED'


I actually want to mention one of my other favourite classic red colours because it is much cheaper than O.P.I, and not everybody can get there hands on O.P.I because of availability. So the MAX FACTOR nail finity one is better and easier for people to get:

549, Red Passion



It is in the shade, 549 Red passion if you cant see it on the picture, it is a very similar colour to opi one ,that's why i mention it



Sally Hansen, Insta-Dri
Anti-Chip Top Coat.
Then i thought i should say what top coat i use.
And this is an all time favourite, i cant find on that is similar or any better and i really recommend it.

So this is the final look, please know that my nails have been painted like this for just under a week that is why they look chipped and why the nail wrap is peeling off, i am about to take them of and re paint them now!

Thankyou all for reading, i hope you try this out, and please subscribe so you can be updated on my new post every Wednesday+Saturday, Bye!
