So I'm back from a day's work and although we weren't that busy, 12 hour shifts are still tiring... on to my nails. I have been giving my nails a break from nail polish but last Friday, I had a birthday party and I went for a simple colour block nail design, matched to my new clutch bag from New Look :) Keep on reading for the tutorial!
1. Prep nails with a clear base coat and apply two coats of a nude beige polish like e.l.f. Desert Haze. Leave to dry completely.
2. I used nail guides (Nailene Perfect Tips & Toes) to do the stripes to get them as accurate as possible but you can always free-hand them! Start with the side stripe... adhere the guide as shown in the picture and paint the left side with a bright coral polish. Here I used one by Eugene Perma.
3. When the nail polish is totally dry, affix the guide to define the nail tip and paint it black. I used Essie Licorice.
4. Carefully remove the tip guide and apply a top coat!
Lastly, I wanted to share with you a half moon manicure on gel nails I did for a client:
I'm off to bed now lovelies! Hope you've all had a lovely weekend :) Good night, sweet dreams!
The half moon manicure whith this color is very romantic :)
