New Years Nails!

Firework Nails

  Hello everyone. To celebrate the end of a great year and hopefully the beginning of another I've done some nail art. What's the most popular way to celebrate the New Year? Fireworks!

 

 I achieved this look by firstly painting all my nails in a clear basecoat, I used the Barry M basecoat which is a basecoat, topcoat and nail hardener all in one. I then painted all my nails in the black nail polish from the 17 Mini Nail Library. Don't worry too much if it is sheer in places, the night sky isn't completely black. I then painted the design in white, to make the bright colours stand out more over the black, using a two way white nail art pen from Claire's. Finally, I went over the white in different colours. I used a Marks & Spencer red nail colour, Perfection Long Wear Nail Laquer in pink, a beautyuk nail polish in Neon Orange, Sage Green also by beautyuk and a bright blue from Topshop. I received all of the colours I used for the fireworks recently for Christmas and am currently very impressed with the colour and quality. I applied them using cocktail sticks which I find is a very cheap and easy way to apply small details. I recommend that once you have finished and your nails have dried that you apply a clear topcoat.

 

 

  This is a fun, easy and colourful nail art design which is really flexible and creative. The design doesn't have to be perfect, little mistakes are fine as fireworks are crazy explosions of colour which always vary.

  I wish you all a very happy New Year and hope you enjoy your celebrations!
