Howdy!
Well hello everybody, hope all is well. I thought that tonight I would do a short post on my current nails. I was inspired by the wonderful Jessie J's nails! Jessie has her nails done by a talented lady named Jenny, and Jessie's nails were just clear, with pastel spring coloured tips! So I took that kind of idea and put my own twist on it using some new manicure stencil stickers that I purchased at the weekend!
I have seen many people on Instagram, other social sites and in magazines with the half moon effect manicure and what I have done is tried to recreate it myself. I found it a bit fiddly because I'm not the steady steady nail art kind of gal!
So as you can probably tell, my nails are the top and left picture and Jessie's are the bottom right! I tried to use similar colours as Jessie's, even though when I finished doing these I realised that my thumb and pinky nails look practically identical in colour lol!
To do the glitter I used the manicure stickers to create a half moon-ish shape around my cuticle. I waited for it to dry a little and then painted the rest of my nail as normal with two coats of polish, followed by a fine glitter over everything to combine. It's not my favourite manicure I've ever done but it is just the first try so I'm curious as to what else I'm able to do with them on my nails! :-)
The nail polish brands I used to create this were Nails Inc, China Glaze, Opi and Ted Baker.
Also, I have created a new blog! It's for all things beauty related. Please have a look, you can click here to go there in another web window! :-)
As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them below or tweet me on the link! (@RiaHughesThen) - same name on Instagram!
