Half and Half


This style is popping up every where, and yet again, its really easy to do! 
Paint half your nail a plain colour, I used purple. Then paint the other half glitter. The line doesn't have to be neat because your going to go over it. 
Either using a black precision pen or a dotting tool, paint squiggly lines down the centre of the nail. 
Put on a top coat and its done.
Its a really nice effect and can be done in all sorts of ways.

Cath Kidston inspired nails


I did these by applying a base coat, adding a straight white line in the middle, dotting white along the line, and then adding flowers. They are done by randomly dotting large dark pink, and lighter smaller pink dots on top. Add some little leaves with a brush and enjoy your cath kidston style nails!

Pink Hearts and Sparkle


I love this sweet and simple design. 

I did base colours of different shades of pink, finishing with white on the pinky. Then using a contrasting colour, did the hearts using a small dotting tool. 

The sparkly nail on the ring finger just brakes up the pattern a bit more and makes the design even more girly! 

Rainbow Dots


I did these using a dotting tool and tape to do the line at the bottom. 

They remind me of an artists painting palette, love the bright colours.

Spotty Clusters


These were inspired by some nails I saw on a nail board on Pinterest (below). 

I did the base coats and then did the spots using a dotting tool. 

Its so simple and easy to do and looks quite effective, love them!
