I did it myself!

So, I blogged about my favourite nail tutorials.. and thought it would be best to try them out!
Over the last few days I have tried out the nail marbling tutorial.
To be honest, the first time I tried it I found it very tricky! If you want to try and recreate this look make sure you have plenty of time on your hands. First time I tried this out it took me over an hour! So this is not something you can do if your running late or as a last minute thing.. this takes time!

Here's the marbling process.

I covered the top of my fingers and around the nail  with sellotape. I did this because it was much easier to clean up afterwards, just pull the tape off and all the mess is gone!






You can use a small dish, or plastic cup to drop the nail varnish into, with filtered water (works best! all you need to do is use boiled water which is left to cool completely!) 


As long as you follow the tutorials, you can't go wrong!
I chose to use pink and coral.. however, I don't think these colours were too effective as they are very similar.. So I tried again, but used pink, white and coral and I thought it was much better!


The nail varnishes I used were Pink and Coral from Barry M, and the white was from natural collection. (I got mine from Boots as they were on offer, three for the price of two!)

Second attempt.

I was so pleased with how these turned out. By mixing the white in I think it gave it a much better pattern... it made them stand out! This look will be perfect for festivals. I can't wait to try all the different colours, and your guaranteed a different design every time.

Have you tried out any of the designs? Let me know how you found them!

My favourite Spring Summer nail tutorials!

Hopefully, you will have had a look at my sneak peak into spring summer blog post... if you haven't click here to take a look! 


Here are some nail tutorials, which will match perfectly with what's big this spring summer!


1. Aztec Nails

Unfortunately I couldn't share the link, but if you click here you'll be forwarded straight to the page!
Here, there are two designs which are so simple and easy to do.
I watched the nail tutorial and instantly wanted to try this.. As soon as my student loan comes in i'll be stocking up on some new nail varnishes! You pay around £25 or more for a minx manicure and personally I think these nails look just as good and will be a fraction of the price. I think this design will be perfect for festival season.




2. Tropical nails.

I LOVE these nails! They are so cute, but from watching the video it does look as if it would take a few goes to get the technique just right. 

I love that you can pick and choose whatever colours you want and change them to match your outfit. Why not get the girls around for a night in and practice designs on each other? Practice makes perfect!

3. Pastel coloured nails.

This is my favourite nail tutorial... Look how FAB they look! This is called water marbling. When I first saw these designs I couldn't even begin to imagine how you would do it, but after watching several video how to tutorials I can't believe how easy it is! This was my favourite video and design as the author clearly shows just how easy it is. Again, you can pick and choose the colours you wish to use.. and how many! The options are endless. I can't wait to try this one.

How about you, which is your favourite? Have you tried to do any of these nail designs? Post a comment and let me know!
