The best way of procrastinating is definitely getting caught up on Youtube videos and quite a few of the girls that I had watched all had these gorgeous, summery, flower nail designs on which kept catching my eye. Investigating a little further I found out that they were Sally Hansens 'Spring Fever' Nail Strips.
After searching through my local Boots and Superdrug and coming out empty handed I decided Iw ould just have a go at creating my own. This is what I came up with and I'm pretty pleased with the result! :)
They were actually fairly easy to do, just quite time consuming to get the design on all 10 nails. I used a base coat of Alpine Snow by OPI and all the other colours on top were with acrylic paint making it easier to work with. And of course I filmed it to show you guys...
I would love if you gave it a go and sent me photos on Twitter or Facebook (both are 'iBeautyBoutique) it's a lot easier to re-create than it looks, plus it will save you money on buying the strips!
One of my favourite TV shows is Dexter, so this October I thought I
would do a Dexter inspired blood splatter nail art look as I think it
will be a great look for Halloween.
It's really simple to do, I used OPI's Alpine Snow for the white base and for the blood splatter I dipped one end of a straw into Big Apple Red by OPI blowing through the straw to get the splattered effect on the nail. Be warned though, this can get very messy, so make sure you cover the table you are working on and I taped around my nails so there was less clean up to do!
I've linked my video below so you can watch how to re-create this look.
