Nude confetti nails

Today I decided to use my loreal confetti nail varnish! I've used the nail varnish with a base coat, the base colour is by Ciate and is called Amazing Gracie! 



I love this colour from Ciate its so pretty and the loreal confetti has added a lovely touch to my nails! It requires you to delicately dab the brush and keep layering the confetti up!

Fairy dust sparkle nails


Did my nails today using my favourite brand - Ciate! I've chosen to use two bottles.



These shades are shown below - one consists of just glitter to go over the top of the pink nail varnish


I use a small funnel to get rid of any unnecessary glitter that hasn't stuck to the nail. This means when applying the glitter, I do it over a cup so that all the glitter can be poured back into the bottle using the funnel!


This is the final result!

Ciate hopscotch


Really impressed with this shade of Ciates, it's called hopscotch and is colour which id describe as a shade inbetween red and orange.



It's a lovely summer shade and works well with most outfits! It's a really bright colour and not very shiny so I added some uv nail varnish to give them a shiny finish! 


Ok magazine have recently done a feature of summer nail varnishes and I'm shocked that this varnish isn't in the magazine! There are similar colours in the magazine, featuring the Ciate bubblegum which looks really good! I've taken a picture of the page here for you to see!

Holiday nails!

Just started to do my nails for my holiday as I'll be flying away to Magaluf on Monday!


These nails went a bit wrong so I haven't used this design for my holiday unfortunately! But I will go through what I used and did to create this look.


To create this look I've used DIY nails, nail decals. I'd chosen to use the pineapple design. You can get these from the DIYnails website or Asos.


Here shows the decals, when using them just dip them in the water and place onto the nails but hold them down onto your nails for around 10 seconds so they have chance to stick.



After I painted my nails using beauty Uk nail varnish in green I then applied the decals to the white nail only. I've chosen my middle finger as I will do a zigzag design on the remaining white nail.


I then wanted to create a zig zag nail so I applied a white Barry m varnish on top of the zig zag stickers. As shown in previous posts.


Advice would be to not use glitter over the top of the decals as I found it didn't look as good!

Loreal Confetti speckled egg


Using loreal confetti and Ciate Amazing Gracie, I've decided to create a speckled egg look on my nails!


Starting with Loreal Confetti, I applied one coat to the nails.

This is how it should look! 

I've used too much confetti on one of the nails so I've chosen to remove some as I think it looks a bit too fussy!
I then applied ciate Amazing Gracie over the top of the nails!


I applied one coat, and then continued to apply coats until you can hardly see the confetti!

Below shows how the nails looked after a third coat of Ciate! 

I then applied some more confetti to go over the top to show some darker speckles and overlay the confetti.
