Nails !



They are by no means perfect ! but this is my first attempt at any type of nail art :)
I got the idea from this amazing blog where all the nail art is done using cello-tape 
Some of there designs are amazing but as a first timer i thought to stick to a very simple one!
I painted all my nails in the lighter green which is Barry M - Mint Green. 
Then on create my thumb and 3rd finger i used strips of cellotape to create stripes and then painted over the exposed nail  in Barry M - Spring Green to  get the two toned stripes.
I then just bent one of my bobby pins and dipped that in nail varnish to create my spots ! 
Sorry i'm awful at explaining ! 
Next time i will take some pictures during the process :) 
I dont think they turned out too bad ! 
Will definitely be trying more nail art ! i am dying for one of those nail art pens to try leopard print.

  5. This is great - especially for a first attempt! Really cute :)

    You could always use liquid eyeliner to give leopard print a go - I haven't got a nail art pen, & I do it quite a lot - worth a try!
