Leopard Print Rainbow Nails



You need: 11 colours, black is essential the others can be pretty much anything, topcoat, dotting tool

1) Base coat in a light colour (I've picked beige, pale pink, slightly brighter pink, mint green and pale blue)
2) Using the normal brush paint different sized blobs over each nail, this should be in a darker colour (I've picked brown for the beige nail, beige for the pale pink, hot pink for the brighter pink, turquoise for the mint green, and purple for the pale blue)
3) Use a dotting tool to paint broken circles and 'c' shapes around each blob
4) Fill any spaces with dots, dashes and 'c' shapes
5) Topcoat

First nails with no art in a long time, not particularly exciting and the colours look all funny in photos. But still.

They are literally just a pink base with multicoloured glitter topcoat and normal topcoat.

...that's it

French Manicure + Baby Bows 




You Need:
Nude, White, Pink, Silver Gem, Angled brush, Fine brush, Cocktail stick, Top Coat

1) Using an angled brush paint the white tips of your nail, when it's dry apply a second coat
2) Paint entire nail with the nude colour
3) Top coat, this sets the 2 layers together and will make it last longer
3) For the bows paint 2 small triangles facing inwards with a fine brush
5) When they are still wet use a cocktail stick to pick up and place a gem in the middle of it
6) Top coat a thick layer over the nails with gems and a second coat over the other nails.

Scrabble Nails - Happy New Year!





The 'BOOM' is quite messy but I like the 2K13!



You Need:
Peach colour
Black
Top Coat
Pen tool
Gel Pen

1) Base coat with the peach colour
2) When it's completely dry draw on the letters/numbers using the gel pen, this will work as a guide for doing it in black and means you don't have to keep redoing the base coat if you make mistakes (it wipes off)
3) Paint over the pen in black using a pen tool
4) Top coat.
