<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Hey guys! Today I'm going to show you my MOVEMBER inspired nails and incorporate a tutorial on how to use nail transfers. Yep I was a bit of a cheat and used moustache transfers I bought off ebay. They are so easy to use and apply so I'm going to show you how.</span></h2>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Nail transfers work on any nails, whether they are; short, long, fake, covered with nail polish or natural with no polish. Today I decided to do a multicoloured french manicure ( I showed you how to do your own french manicure in this post <a href="http://zanesnails.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/french-manicure-tutorial.html" target="_blank">http://zanesnails.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/french-manicure-tutorial.html</a> ) on mine before applying my moustache transfers.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">To apply your nail transfers you will need; the transfers, a pair of sharp scissors, a pair of tweezers and some water.</span></div>

Once you have one that fits you want to cut it out, try to cut as close as possible (I made this mistake the first time I used them and had a lot of clear left around them and they didn't sit well on the nails). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I find using a pair of tweezers helps to do this.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Once you have cut out your transfer you want to use the tweezers again to grab it and dip it into some water for about 20-30 seconds. When you take it out the white backing paper will come off easily.</span></div>

<h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">These nails were inspired by my friend Amy. She was round at mine so I could do her nails before going away on a cruise and she decided on the grey pictured above on my ring finger and we decided to do the same colour on her toes and a row of the decals (also seen on my ring finger). This inspired me to use this grey along side some brighter colours and decals myself for my own holiday nails.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large; font-weight: normal;">The polishes I used were all nails inc and the decals I actually got in a pack from poundland. I decided on the yellow/gold triangles for my ring fingers and small diamontes at the base of each other. They are really easy to apply, some people use nail glue or gel but I just use clear nail varnish and place them on with a small amount of the polish on a cocktail stick just enough for it to pick up the decal. Place a coat where you want to stick your decals, put your decals on straight away and once dry coat and set with another coat of your clear polish.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">These nails were inspired by a purchase I made on holiday; a large tub or small sequence/large glitter I suppose you could say. Again on my ring finger (pictured in the middle on the top row) I decided to go wild and coat the whole nail with the sequence, just using clear nail polish to stick them down as before. With these I started from the bottom, worked around the side then filled in the middle.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I decided to go with a purple theme, (mind you the picture makes it look more pink than purple). The pinky finger I used a few different shades of purple to create a leopard print (you can see how to do this in my previous blogs). The ring finger like I said above I covered with sequence. The middle finger I painted a pale purple and at the tip painted it like dripping paint/blood I suppose you could say, I don't know the actual name for it. The pointer finger I think it's called again had a base coat of light purple and I then using clear polish to stick them down placed a row of sequence. Finally on my thumb I made a triangular shape with the sequence at the tip of my nail and randomly dotted all the other polishes used on the rest of the nail.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">These nails were inspired by breast cancer awareness month and tickled pink. I just an array of my different shades of pink polishes (again all nails inc). The main feature nails were my thumb (heart tip, shown how to do in a previous blog, as well as a pink leopard pink on the pointer finger which I've previously shown you how to do). As for my ring finger I went to Sally's (because I wanted them there and then, but you could get them online, and probably cheaper) and bought a set of nail art brushes, basically they just look like thin paint brushes (I'll try and upload a picture for you). So I used the thinnest brush and dipped it into my polish and tried my best at painting the ribbon/logo for breast cancer awareness, I have to say this did take me a couple of attempts!! Getting used to using these brushes does take a while, I wouldn't say I'm that good with them yet, mind you I haven't practised much! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This nail art I can't really say was inspired by anything, more of a stick them on and see what happens. I bought the decals on ebay and as per usual didn't really read the description properly, I thought they would be bigger and I could use them to make a 3-D phone case, but as you can see they were tiny! So I came up with a few little ideas, tried things out, one of which was my full ring finger covered but that looked terrible, and as you can see I ended up just sticking to a triangle. </span></div>

So go on and have a go and don't be worried about trying out decals, even start of cheap with ones out of poundland and see where it takes you!</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Hey guys so today I'm going to show you how to do crackle nails. My little cousin wanted me to do her nails like this the other day, so I thought I'd do a blog showing you how to do it using my mum as my hand model. :) </span><br />

<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">step one</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Firstly, as always ensure your nails are clean and free from any oils or polishes and file your nails into shape. Apply a base coat polish to your nails to protect them from the colours you are going to apply on top of them.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Applying the base colours to your nails. I chose 4 bright nail polishes, nails inc; notting hill gate, spring mews, kensington park road and carnaby street.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Using each of the above colours paint your nails with each colour, (see picture below). You can randomly paint your nails with the coloured polishes in any kind of pattern, don't worry about leaving any spaces or overlapping as it does not matter once you go to apply the crackle nail polish.</span></div>

<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">step three</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once your nails have completely dried you want to carefully paint on your crackle polish, being careful not to paint too much on your nails, as they wont crackle or too little as you wont get a good coverage. This may take a little patience and trial and error.</span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It will take a few moments, but as you nails dry the polish will start to crackle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">step four</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Tidying up; don't worry if you get any polish onto the skin around your nails. You can remove it with a cotton wool bud dipped in nail varnish remover.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once you have tidied your nails up they should look like this. As you can see it doesn't matter what your polish looked like underneath as you will only get glimpses of it through the crackles.</span></div>

Now there are many things, you just need to use your imagination but what I am going to show you is perfect for the summer, simple to do, quick and really pretty! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here are a couple of examples of the kebab stick nails, you can either do a single flower or a few flowers on each nail or completely cover your nails in flowers. Now I'm going to show you how to do this technique.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">step one</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ensure your nails are clean of any oils or nail polish. At this stage you can either apply a clear nail polish to your nails or a pale/lighter colour to the colours you have chosen for your flowers.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As my acrylic overlay is growing out I decided to apply a pale pink nail polish over my nail.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">step two </span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Using your kebab/cocktail stick make a centre dot for your flower by dipping the stick into a blob of polish on either an unwanted surface or piece of old plastic. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I also chose a pale yellow as the centre of my flower.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">step three</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Clean your stick and </span>using the same technique as step two chose a different colour for the petals of your flower. You are then going to place dots around the centre dot of your flower.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I chose a nice coral pink colour, don't worry if your flower is not perfect, it does not matter :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">step four</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This step is optional, you may decide to just paint one flower on your nail but you can also repeat the above technique and add more flowers to your nail.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I decided to alternate the different colours of my flowers and kept them around the side of my nail. As you can see some of the flowers are just half a flower (the purple one).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">step five </span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once the polish has completely dried and set paint a top coat over your nails to seal them.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Applying the white curved strip at the bottom of your nails once your base colour has completely dried. This can be quite tricky, especially if you don't have a steady hand so just take your time and go slowly. Start off with a small white strip and once you have your shape then go over it again making it a little thicker. </span></div>

Just try different ways to hold your brush and perhaps steady your hand on something. Once you have found a way you will stick with it. How I paint with my left hand is a lot different to how I paint with my left. I also tend to start by painting my right hand first as it usually takes longer than my left and at the beginning I always seem to have more patience! :D</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Hey guys! Today's blog is going to be about the OPI Nicki Minaj Collection, I know I'm always ranting and raving about nails inc but I'm always being told how great OPI is and thought I'd give it a go and see how it compares to nails inc.</span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I tried to find a link to buy this on the OPI website but was unable to, I found the site pretty tricky to use if I'm being honest. If you type it into google however many websites come up enabling you to buy it. I myself didn't buy mine online, I spotted mine in my local nail and beauty salon and purchased it from there. <a href="http://www.nailandbeautybar.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.nailandbeautybar.co.uk/</a></span></i></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I decided to try out these colours on my toes, I thought the pink and light green/yellow colour would be great summer colours. So as always I removed all polish from my nails and filed and shaped them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">These are my toes again with the second coat, they all look a lot better with the two coats on them, I'm sure you'll agree. The pink evened out well without leaving any streaks, the colour of the yellow/green became a lot richer and better looking, the green/blue didn't really need a second coat, but with it it definitely makes the colour a lot richer and the black glitter look so much better with a second coat, there was a lot more coverage and more sparkle too. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I found the pink polish to be quite thick and sticky and you really needed alot on the brush to try and avoid a lot of streaks. The greeny blue colour again was quite a thick polish but went on really well (this was the best one for a one coat coverage). Both the yellow colour and the black glitter were quite watery, hence why the first coat was so light. However all with a second coat turned out well. I personally wasn't that impressed with my first try of OPI products especially for the price they charge. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">If you use or have used OPI and found different results or recommend any I should try please let me know, I'd be really interested to hear from you and your opinion.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Whilst you are waiting for your white filled zigzag to dry you can add some dots to the rest of the nail. I used the nail art pen again but as you can see from the pictures at the beginning of the blog I did paint one red with yellow dots. You can pick whatever colour you want and if you don't have a nail art pen in the colour you want to use you can just use the kebab/cocktail stick. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(see </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7926081553613185029#editor/target=post;postID=5347760447589870587" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7926081553613185029#editor/target=post;postID=5347760447589870587</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> for how to do this).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Hey guys! So today I went to afternoon tea with my bestie, and decided to fancy myself up a little, inspired by my gorgeous new blazer/jacket I treated myself to in Primark during the week. It's a gorgeous navy blue with white polka dots, so last night at about midnight (when I still couldn't sleep) I decided to polka dot up my nails to tie in with my jacket and outfit for this afternoon. This blog will now show you how to do it yourself! :) </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now it's time to do your white ring finger. If you wanted you could just leave this nail plain or do the same technique in step four with the blue polish (random dots).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">However I decided to go for a sort of waterfall of tiny polka dots. This is the first time I have tried this technique out. I've seen loads of pictures online and thought I would give it a do as something a little different.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Firstly I started off at the tip of the nail using the blue polish and my kebab stick making tiny dots, I tried to keep them tight together and random, trying to not just paint them in rows. As I went down the nail I spaced the dots a bit more and tried to paint them randomly as you can see in the picture above.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Hey guys! A friend of mine was telling me how much she enjoyed my blog the other day and was saying how she struggled to do a french manicure on herself. It's something that is really simple and easy to do at home yourself! I think it's something for any age and makes your hands just 'pop'. We have a wedding coming up soon so I have been doing my mum's nails for her (she never wears nail polish so I've started early to get her used to it) so she'll be my model for today.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Start off with clean nails (no polish). You are now going to file your nails into the shape you want them, I personally like a square shape, but my mum likes hers round.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The bottom part of your nail where it starts to come out from the skin if you look closely has a bit of skin I suppose you could call it on the bottom of the actual nail, this is your cuticle. With the cuticle oil you want to go along each nail painting it horizontally along the nail bed over the cuticles. Leave them for about 3-5minutes to let the oil sink in then using either a cuticle remover or your own nail push them back, don't push too hard or too much, this is not meant to hurt! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Again this is optional, however I think it's always good to apply a basecoat as it can protect your nails. You need to make sure using a paper towel for example that the nails are clean again and oil free. Then apply a basecoat over the nails and wait till they dry.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Time for the iconic white tip. This is the part most people think they cannot do or dread to do, but I'm going to show you you don't need to be perfect at it or have a steady hand.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Starting at the top left and going in a clockwise direction you can see how you sweep the brush in a 'u' shape along the top of the nail, if possible following the shape of the nail. If your 'u' shape isn't perfect don't worry, in the next step I will show you how to correct and perfect it.</span></div>
<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">step five</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Make sure your white tip is completely dry! Now you are going to take your cotton wool bud and dip it into the nail varnish remover (sometimes it's easier if you pour a wee bit into the lid). You are going to use the cotton wool bud to tidy up your nail, you can go around the edge and remove any polish you have got on your skin. You also use it in a sweeping movement to tidy the 'u' shape of your white tip. Don't be worried to reapply the nail varnish remover and if you take off too much you can always reapply the white or touch it up.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once you are happy with your white tips and again they are completely dry you are going to paint over a coat of your pink polish.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well that's how to do a french manicure yourself, simple and easy. The key thing to remember is ensuring your nails are completely dry after each step! If they aren't the next step you do will take ages to set and dry and in the end will smudge, something you don't want after all the effort you have put into them.</span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cotton buds (the ones for applying makeup with the different shaped tips are great, but a little pricey so I just buy the normal ones from your local chemist or pound shop, just shop around) and finally,</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A fast drying topcoat. You can also use nail art pens instead of the wooden stick, although I will show you that for the majority of my nail designs you don't need one.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This top coat from nails inc is my absolute favourite! It is amazing, a little pricey but well worth it, your nails will be dry in 45 seconds and set within about 5 minutes. Here's the link if you wish to invest in one yourself <a href="http://www.nailsinc.com/nailpolish/kensington-caviar-45-second-top-coat/426/" target="_blank">http://www.nailsinc.com/nailpolish/kensington-caviar-45-second-top-coat/426/</a> Any other topcoats are perfectly fine, actually i recently invested in a Rimmel 60 second drying topcoat for £2.99 in Boots yesterday as I had ran out of my nails inc and you can only get it online or in House of Fraser or Debenhams in Belfast. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you are an addicted user of nails inc like myself or would just like to try some of their products for yourself or for gifts I would recommend becoming a VIP member for just £5 for the year <a href="http://www.nailsinc.com/vip" target="_blank">http://www.nailsinc.com/vip</a> By becoming a VIP member you receive a free full sized nail polish, 10% discount every time you place an order, £5 off online voucher on your birthday and you can also get reward points every time you buy something, which is always handy to use as a treat or to pay for your postage when you have gathered enough.</span></div>

<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Step one</span></h3>
</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Firstly file/cut your nails into the shape and length you wish, make sure your nails are clean of any nail varnish or oils and you are all set to go. Now it's up to you whether you want to apply a base coat, I sometimes would if my nails are perhaps not in the best condition or need protection from a strong colour I am going to apply, as some colours can stain your nails. If you do decide to use a base coat just make sure it is completely dry before moving on to the next step (this applies to every step I will be showing you).</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Step two</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Apply a layer of a light colour, you may need to apply 2 layers depending on the polish or the colour you wish to achieve. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The dots/random blobs - I put a blob of the colour I want to use onto an old piece of plastic or something you don't mind getting a bit messy (mind you it always comes off with a little nail varnish remover). So once you've put your blob onto the plastic you need to work quite quickly as the polish will start to set and dry and get really tacky (you don't want this).</span> </span><br />

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use your wooden stick (cocktail or kebab) and put a bit of the polish onto the end of the stick (this may be a bit of trial and error with practise as to how much you want to put on the end of your stick) and randomly do blobs or colour on your nail.</span>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now it's time to highlight those blobs you have painted on. I'm now using nails inc mount street and have put a blob of this polish onto the plastic as before. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now using the same technique as before you are going to use a darker or contrasting colour to go around the edges, I think it looks better if you only fully go around the odd blob with this colour, leaving gaps makes it look a little more realistic. </span></div>

Welcome to my first ever blog, please bare with me because I have no idea what to do here. So what I plan to do on my blog is show you how to do your own nail art, it honestly is so easy, all you need is the 3 P's . . . <strong>Practise, Patience</strong> and <strong>Products</strong> :) I am not trained in nails or an artist, just a pretty creative person who gets bored of my nails really quickly and love to have something different. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My nails are my own with acrylic over the top of them, I go to an amazing nail technician about once a month or a little more, as once my nails start to grow out a little i start nail arting them :) Remember though nail art can be done on any nails, they dont need to be fake, acrylic covered or really long.</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today as I am just starting out and have recently just painted my nails I will show you the first technique I'm going to show you on my next blog.</span></h3>
