Festive Christmas glitter nails.

I love these nails! I actually did these a couple of weeks ago and after some persuasion from myself my client agreed to a little bit of bling on the accent finger! When I look at them now they are quite nice for the festive Christmas party season! They were really easy to do..... They are full set tips with an acrylic overlay painted in Sinful ( too much fun ) neon red polish. I then painted just the tip using Bedazzled collection in razzle dazzle glitter polish then added a small silver rhinestone at the top of the nail just to finish it off. After painting on your top coat you can add the rhinestone, it will stick really well.... I advise not to paint over again using a top coat as I've found that that it can take the shine away from the rhinestone!!! And you won't want that!!!!!! It's all about the bling at the end of the day!!!! Hope this was informative, be back soon with some more hints and tips!!!!

Edgy almond, gel nails.

I loved doing these nails!! These were a while ago now and i really wanted to bling them up and go crazy with some nail art!! But i couldn't convince my client to let loose and go for it!! Cant wait to go crazy on a set of nails and let my imagination go wild!! These nails were created using almond/ pointed nail tips and clear acrylic. I used a tangy orange uv gel this time and think they look great!!

silver and gold glitter acrylic nails.

I did these nails a while back now but initially got inspired by Gemma Lambert's olympic nails that she had created. I didn't have any glitter acrylic at that particular moment so I had to put my thinking cap on! I have loads of small glitter pots of various colours so thought id just use clear acrylic powder mixed with these silver/gold and a splash of red glitters. The result wasn't too bad and it just goes to show you can mess about with what ever youv'e got already without having to splash out on expensive nail products!!! A bit of imagination can go a long way! I'll be back soon with some more money saving ideas in the world of nail art! :0)
