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!

Current favourite nail varnish - Barry M


Just going to show you some pictures of my favourite nail varnish at the moment!



It's really glittery and sparkles in the sun, the colour is a neutral pink shade that will go with most outfits so there's no need to worry about it clashing with anything you wear!


Only downside is it's quite rough on the nails, but it looks really pretty! So who cares!?

Sparkle rhinestone nails!


Today I received my rhinestone that I'd ordered from eBay! But they're quite fiddly to put on your own hands so I've only put one on my nails to start with! Rhinestones here!

I'm going to use the colours Revlon Girly and Ciate Underwear (but as top coat, because I think it gives the nail a natural shine.) 


Above shows the first coat, it takes a good few coats for it to look good. As you can see it doesn't look too good at the moment, so I'll probably put another 3 layers on top.

Above now shows the nails with an extra 3 coats, I've left one nail blank because I want to use my hole reinforcer's to create a French manicure style on just one of the nails. 


Above shows the hole reinforcer's with one layer of nail varnish on top, again because I've used glittery nail varnish and it's quite watery, I need to add another 3 more layers!


I've layered the nails 3-4 times now and I'm happy with the glittery pale effect! And now it's just time to place one of the diamantés in the centre of the nail just below the French manicure!

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!
