Nail art - Bubbles

Here again with another nail art, another really simple one!  I love this bubble effect and the possibilities are endless.
Simply paint your nails a base colour of your choice. I used Maybelline Forever Strong in 'Really Rosy'.

While the base coat is still wet apply small dots of your top colour. I used Barry M in 'Mint Green'. Applying the 'bubbles' while the base coat is still wet allows them to move more fluidly and creates a more unique look/pattern.

Once dry apply a clear top coat to seal.
I think I'm going to try a confetti looks next time with lots of different colours!

Nail Art - Marble Effect

Hello all!
I'm here today with a really simple nail art. One good thing about not working in the catering & baking business anymore is that I  get to paint my nails again. It's a real relaxation thing for me & I get to be creative too!

Warning! This method is slightly addictive!

Begin by choosing your base colour. I used "Put a medal on it" by Maybelline Forever Strong. I use Maybelline Forever Strong most of the time. I could not recommend it enough. It gives a really smooth finish and I've only ever needed one coat. It's fast drying & stays on my nails really well - It usually lasts about 5 days without a single chip.


Choose three colours to go on top. I've used a dark glitter forest green & a teal colour - both came from a nail polish set from my sister as a gift. The set was called Gold by Giles which I think can be found in New Look. The third colour is 'Sky High' by Rimmel 60 Seconds. Place a blob of each on your nail as seen in the image below.


Use a cocktail stick or a very thin paintbrush to blend the three colours together. Don't blend too much because you still want to see all three colours. Leave to dry (you may want to do this while watching a film because drying time will be longer than normal).

Seal your marble effect with a clear top coat. Then spend all week admiring your work!


ENJOY!
