I'm Back

Hi Everyone! I'm finally back after a 13 month break! For those of you wondering, I was away as I was working in a lab for a year, so was unable to paint my nails at all. Not even a clear nail strengthener. I was awful at first but then I got used to it. Now that's over and I'm back at uni for my final year, and I can start this up again! My nails aren't in the best condition, and I'm pretty out of practice with the art (as you can probably tell from the photo) so it'll take me a month or two to get back to how I was, but I'm really looking forward to starting this up again.

So yeah, thanks for sticking with me and hopefully you'll like what I'm going to be doing! 

Green Crosshatch

I've been doing some pretty complex designs lately so decided to take it down a few notches today and do something simple. I ended up doing this classic crosshatch design with diamontes. 

To create this design I first painted two thin coats of OPI - Alpine Snow  on my index and pinky fingers, and two thin coats of China Glaze - Treble Maker on my middle and ring fingers.

1. Start with two thin coats of your base colour.
2. Using a thin brush draw three diagonal lines on your nail with the other polish.
3. Draw three more diagonal lines in the opposite direction then seal with a top coat.
4. Start with two thin coats of your base colour.
5. Place the diamontes on your nail and then put a top coat over to seal them in.
