Simple Valentine's Day Nails

Hello everyone, I hope you are well!

As it's Valentine's Day tomorrow, I thought I would post a picture of the nail design that I will be wearing.

I have been LOVING  triangle accent nails recently so instead of going for my usual heart designs, I decided I wanted to do something simple and a little different. 

 This is the design that I came up with:-

I used a baby pink and a shimmery purple for this nail design. I think the two colours go really well together and I like them of my traditional pink nails with hearts.

The polishes I used are both from the Essie range, I used 'We're in it together' and 'It's genius'. This design is so simple to do and works with many different polishes and colours!

What nail designs have you come up with? Comment below and let me know!

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

We're in it together.

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well!

Today I'm sharing my current favourite nail polish/nail looks with you, featuring Essie's 'We're in it together' - This cost me just £1.99 from the Fragrance Direct Website I ordered a few other colours too as they were such a bargain!

This is such a beautiful colour, to me this is THE perfect pink! I've been enjoying mixing it up with other colours and glitter polishes epecially Barry M 'Diamond Glitter' and China Glaze 'Champagne Bubbles' (as shown below).

What are your current favourite nail designs?

Matte nails with shiny spots! ♥

Hello everyone,

Here is a nail look I came up with when playing around with matte nail polish.

 

To achieve this look I used Rimmel Pro Matte Finish Nail Polish over a black Barry M Nail Polish but any black nail polish will work just the same!

Directions

1. Apply your base coat. (When using a dark or bright colour I always apply a base coat, I used Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Top Coat. A clear nail polish can be used as an alternative if you don't have a base coat)
2. Paint all your nails with a black polish of your choice and wait until it is thoroughly dry.
3. Next apply an even layer of the Rimmel matte polish (or matter polish of your choice) and let dry, you will notice that the shine starts to fade out of your nail polish. 
4. When the matte polish has dried use a nail tool and the same black polish and begin to add the dots onto each nail. (if you don't have a nail tool, use a toothpick instead) Allow to dry.
5. Now you're ready to show off your nails!

I really like this look, it's an easy, stylish way to add texture to your nails!
