Nails Monday #6!

Hi there! So it is Monday which means I have decided to do my nails. So I only used two nail polishes which means I haven't done anything fancy to my nails. It is spring now. Well in my head it is! So, I thought it was reasonable to but on more bright colours than the darker colours I have been using during Autumn/Winter. So I started off by painting my nails with the Sally Hansen Miracle Cure and used that as a base coat.



Then I got my nail file and filed my nails into the shapes that I wanted and filed them down all to relatively the same size.



Then I got my Bourjois Nail Polish that I got in a set for Christmas. It has no name or number on it. Sorry! So I applied one coat onto my nails of this colour. The colour is kind of a coral/orange colour and is a perfect colour for spring. I haven't tried a Bourjois nail polish, so I will try it out and see how it is.



So after seeing the colour after just one coat I thought I would add another coat just to make sure that I have a solid colour and see how well my nails look after about a week and see if it chips.


After I had done that I put on a top coat of the Sally Hansen Nail Polish. I didn't take a picture of that because its just a glossy version of the picture above. So that's what my nails are like this week. Expect a lot of posts this week at least one everyday hopefully! So look forward to that! Just want to remind you all that once I reach 100 followers on my blog I will be doing a giveaway!

Nails Monday #3!

Hi there! It is Monday so you all know what that means! It's Nails Monday Week Number 3! So today I had to get up at 8 just to return a camera to college on the day that I have off. I went and had some breakfast at Costa. (If you know me that is no surprise at all!) I came home eat half a Lemon Meringue Pie and then slept and started on my nails. The nails I have decided on this week is something that I got from the book The Hunger Games. If you haven't read the Hunger Games I would definitely recommend it but it is a flame design on my nails. I have used the OPI Natural Base Coat, Barry M in the colour 347 in Blood Orange, Barry M in the colour 329 in Mango, Barry M in the colour 329 in B and Nails Inc. in New York Noir. To do this design I have used a Nail Tool.
 
 




 
To start of with I used my Nail Tool to do the red part of the flames. I used the brush end. I started off by doing the outline of the flames. Don't worry if it doesn't look quite right because you can just go back over it with the Black in the next step.
 
 
After I did the red flame part I used the Black Nail Polish to fill in the top part of my nail. I went in between the red flames, corrected any mistakes I made and made it look half presentable seeing as I am not as good at this. I cleaned the brush part of my Nail Tool and used that again.
 
 
After doing this I used the brush part of the Nail Tool again. I dabbed orange and yellow at the bottom of my nail to make it look more like a flame design. I did 2 layers of the Orange and then 1 layer of Yellow and the another layer of Orange on top, so it is all blended in. While each layer of each different colour is partly wet dab on the other colour and then wait til it is partly wet again and do it again. So then it should look like this.
 
 
What do you think about my Nail Art this week? Do you like it? Do you use any of the products I use this week? What do you think about the products if you have used them?
