Nail art: Double dots

Having found a new love for all things Pinterest I've been checking out and pinning lots of fab nail art ideas, which means then creating them myself. I also recently acquired a set of nail art tools from a lovely friend. I always thought I could create nail art deigns just using a steady hand and being imaginative with the brush but turns out dotting tools are amazing and I can't wait to try out lots more designs. I'll be posting them on here every so often too.

So this one is fairly simple but very effective... using a desired colour firstly paint all your nails and patiently wait for them to completely dry.... Next create a line of dots along one side of you nail and another line directly next to it. I liked using two different shades of the same colour for a bit of an ombre effect. Once all dry finish off with a slick of top coat.

Nail art: Chic triangles

i always get a lot of insta love for my nail art so i thought i would bite the bullet and re introduce a bit of beauty to my blog and slip in the occasional nail art tutorial. i'm going to start with an easy one that simply requires one nail polish of choice, a fine nail brush and a steady hand, although as you can see, mine aren't the neatest so don't worry if you wobble a bit (they always look better from afar anyway).

firstly choose a colour and on each nail draw a cross with a fine brush. then simply fill in the rest as you would normally paint your nails, taking care to stay within the lines.

once dry seal with a top coat and voila simple yet chic and effective nails.

hope you like these kind of posts, would you like to see more?

Thanks

Festive nail art

Its christmas tomorrow!!! Eek.... how did that happen? If you follow me on instagram (@lazy2lovely) you'll have seen my festive nails at the weekend, they are super duper easy so i though i would share with you here on the blog too. Simply paint all your nails a nice Father Christmas red apart from your ring finger. With this nail, paint a line of red across the top and then another line going down the right side to about 3/4 of the way down the nail. Once the red is completely dry ( i advise leaving it about 30 mins to be sure its dry ) add a dot of white to the end of the hat and a white line along the bottom of the red line at the top. Finish off with top coat and you're all ready for a glass of mulled wine to celebrate a job well done.
