Water Decals

I would say that water decals are one of the easiest ways to create intricate nail art designs on your nails, once you have figured out how to use them.

  

There are two types of water decals

Nail Art - detailed designs that are put on top of your chosen nail polish colour

And...

Full Nail - a patterened water decal that will cover your whole nail, leaving you with a similar look like many nail wraps or minx.

Check out my videos below to learn how to apply them!

And by the way, I bought mine from Amazon by a company called 'Viva La Nails' but if you just type in 'nail art water decal' and you will be spoilt for choice!

Cath Kidston Inspired Nail Art

I love all the gorgeous vintage inspired patterns and products from Cath Kidston and thought it would be really cute to create some nail art inspired by this.

Below are the patterns that caught my eye... (http://www.cathkidston.co.uk/c-1214-knitting-sewing-crafts.aspx)

And this is what I came up with...

I used Barry M's Blueberry Ice-Cream on all my fingers except for my ring finger which was Essie's Mint Candy Apple and then I used acrylic paint for the floral pattern. Watch my video below to find out how I created the design...it's easier than you'd think!

I also wore the design as just a ring finger manicure and everyone loved it! :) I even had to paint it for one of my friends that wanted it over the top of her Shellac manicure.

What's your favourite Cath Kidston design?

Quick And Easy Ombre

I am loving the 'ombre' look at the moment for hair and nails so thought I would make a quick little video to show how easy it is to achieve for your nails.

I chose to use 'Aqua Baby' by China Glaze and 'Mint Candy Apple' by Essie for mine but you can use any colours you think will look good together, you can even add more colours if you're feeling adventurous!
Apart from the polishes of your choice you will also need:
- Top and base coats
- Cosmetic Sponge
- Scrap Paper
- Cotton buds with polish remover (this can get a little messy)


This is the finished look, i think it's great to wear on its own or is a good starting point if you want to get a little more artistic and use it as a base for other nail art.

What colours do you love for your ombre look?
