Stay Within the Lines

This week I had absolutely no idea how I wanted to design my nails. After maybe five attempts and copious amounts of nail polish remover being inhaled I caved and came up with these babies!

I am quite delighted with these as I think it still follows quite well from last week's Sophisticated Minimal post. A steady hand and some extreme patience was required for these, and after five attempts of trying different designs I almost gave up.

Hope you like these as much as I do.

Have a happy week :)

Sophisticated Minimal

This weeks post is based on a minimalistic look. I wanted to try out the new polishes I had bought from Kiko http://www.kikocosmetics.com/eshop/uk they have the most amazing polishes. Fantastic quality and at an even better price. All the colours and shades of the rainbow, including sparkle polishes all for just £1.50 a bottle...BARGAIN! 

Any-one can achieve this look with a little bit of patience. All I used to get the straight-ish lines was scotch tape. Make sure that you don't use cello tape. That thing will peel your polish off like no-ones business. So to start off with I painted all my nails using the lightest tone. once dry I carefully stuck scotch tape down the middle. Carefully painted the exposed side with the darked tone. Let it dry and, voilà. I topped it of buy just adding an on trend motif on my ring finger. 

However to make it more interesting you can add rhinestones to create a sophisticated yet minimalistic look perfect for the office. 

Enjoy!
