Hey guys! So, first post? Pretty exciting, huh? To be honest, I'm pretty scared, but that's not the reason you visited my little corner of the internets - so let's get on to the nails!

| To do the look, apply a coat or two of a base coat, then when it's fully dry, stick some scotch tape at an angle over part of the nail and paint. This will give a clean edge when you peel it off. |
After that's dry, stick another piece of tape at a different angle further up the nail and paint a different colour. Then paint the third colour, and finally, using a nail art pen, brush or a toothpick, draw a thin line between each colour to make them look more geometrical. Oh, and top coat. Don't forget top coat - especially if you're not inclined to change your nail polish every three hours.

DeleteHey Natasha, I saw one of your comments on someone else's blog saying that you had recently started up, so as I am in the same position as you, I thought I'd come along and support you!
ReplyDeleteLove the nail art, your nails looked amazing in the marbling post. Will definitely be giving that a go soon, it looks easier than doing drawn-on nail art, which I find I am too clumsy to do very well! I can never do my right hand!
Anyway, keep up the good work! My blog is: melswallofmirrors.blogspot.co.uk

aww thanks for stopping by! i'll check out your blog as well xx
DeleteI love these nails, I play around with different styles of nail art and find it impossible to do my left hand. These design is great though.
ReplyDeleteI want to buy OPI's nail envy and was wondering your opinions on it.

i think it's really great if your nails are really weak or in need of a break, but if your nails are relatively healthy any other base coat is just as good :) x
