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!

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.

Zigzag glitter nails

Above shows the three nail varnishes I've used to create my zigzag glitter nails. 

Starting with Ciate Sugar plum I applied one layer to my nails leaving the finger nail next to my little finger without any.

Then I applied a second coat of sugar plum and waited awhile for the nails to dry and then continued to put a third coat. 

Then using ciate confetti nail varnish I applied this to the remaining fingernail.

Above shows the nail varnish Ciate Confetti which I used on one single nail. 

Above shows what the nail varnish looks after one layer.

You will need to keep re applying the confetti nail varnish as it is quite thin and i like to have a thick glitter effect.

Above shows the fingernail with two coats of glitter and I wasn't happy about how it looked so continued to apply the nail varnish until I had my desired nail.

Above now shows my nails with the final coat of glitter nail varnish, this took a while to do as I needed to make sure the glitter was even and consistent. 

I then applied my sticker zigzags to my nail pressing them down to make sure none of the varnish bleeds onto other parts of the nail. 

Using white Barry M paint I then painted over the top of the nail stickers. Make sure to use a thin coat.

Once painted I took the stickers off the nail instantly! This will prevent them getting stuck and a none messy look.

Above shows that the nails aren't perfect and it is messy. But after a good nail varnish remover and cotton bud you can touch them up. If the nails have bled and aren't perfect, go over the nails using your ordinary nail varnish brush. 

And that's it!!

Falling confetti nails

Confetti loreal nails with ciate pepperminty 

Just recently bought the loreal confetti nails in black and white which you can Buy Here at boots! I wanted to test it out but rather than having the confetti all over the nails I wanted to make them look as though they were falling in a gradient effect.

As a base colour I've chosen to use the ciate pepperminty colour which was taken from my ciate mini mani month advent calendar which is available at asos here, I think this colour works well as it's bright and will show up both the black and white spotted confetti. After layering the ciate pepperminty colour 3 times I then applied the loreal confetti to my nails, starting at the cuticle I just gently dabbed the confetti, layering lots of little dots and then bringing the brush (with fewer dots on the brush) to the top of the nail, below shows the final look!
