10 NAIL ART DESIGNS USING OPI SHEER TINTS

Hey  guys, sorry there's been no post for a few days, I have been working on this mammoth post !

When I first saw the Sheer Tints by OPI I was not excited, but then when I started seeing swatches etc. I thought they could be really good for nail art so I desperately waited for these and rung Sally's many times and dropped in (several times) after a long day of uni with the hope that they might have them in. They got them in about 2 weeks ago, I posted my haul on instagram so follow me on there to see more of my hauls etc.

I've created 10 different nail art designs using the I'm Never Embarrassed (yellow), Be Magentale With Me (pink), Don't Violet Me Down (purple) and I Can Teal You Like Me (blue).

All of the polishes have the same formula as a half used Seche Vite Top Coat, ie. thick and undesirable. They bubble like crazy though which you will see in all the pictures below, but they are so much fun to play with. 

 There's a lot to get through so I'll just talk over how I created each look. 

Sit down, grab a cuppa and click read more to see all of the designs below :)

RAINBOW STRAW DIPPED NAILS

Hey guys, I'm so sleepy today and I just feel so drained even though I haven't been doing anything strenuous! 

Anywho remember these nails I did, well this was my practice run before hand in which I learnt you shouldn't use too many different colours with the technique I think it looks much better when you use fewer colours like I did on the other nails. I used Sally Hansen Whirlwind White as a base and then used 6 different nail polishes for the details, I'm too tired to list all those nail polishes now but if you want to know then leave a comment and I shall let you know :) I finally topped it all with a layer of OPI Matte Top Coat.

Ok, so that's a wrap for today, I shall see you in my next post :)

MATTE & GLOSSY SPLATTER NAILS

Hi everyone, I'm so tired so this will be a really short post.

I love how shimmers look when they are mattified and of course I also love them when they are glossy :)

So for these nails I started with 2 coat of Smolder by Orly, I then applied a matte top coat on all the nails except the accent nail and used a regular top coat and straw to create the glossy splatter. On the accent nail I did the opposite, so I applied a coat of regular top coat ad used the matte top coat by OPI for the splatter. 

and that's a wrap, see you tomorrow :)

STRAW DIPPED NAILS & A TUTORIAL

Hey guys, how are you all?

So the other day when I was climbing into bed I was struck by nailspiration! Using a straw to make circles on the nails, how cool would that be? Anyways the next day I'd forgotten all about it until I sat at my nail desk and saw a straw in my pen pot (don't ask!)

I decided to try it out and well I love it, it's really simple and easy to do and I've created a tutorial to help you. 

For this design I used Illamasqua Load for the base colours and then used Illamasqua Grab, Urban Outfitters  Bandeau and Color Club Chelsea Club.
