Nail Art: Silver Tips.






Recently, I've been experimenting with nail art. I'm really impatient and I hate painting my nails as it is, but blogs are inspiring and I can't help but join in with the nail obsession!

I painted my nails with Models Own Blooboo (I used three coats to get it just right) and then used Nailene Perfect Tips to do the tips silver. I think it turned out really well, so I shall be experimenting a bit more with coloured tips and maybe even some half-moons!

Any other nail art ideas I should try? I really want to try Aztek nails but I think this is beyond me!

  3. Oh, I've just done silver tips on mine, too, but I have to say, I'm liking your colour combination much more!
    I'm really wanting to try Aztec nails, too, but I have such an unsteady hand - have you tried any tape manicures? They're quite easy but always look great! xx

  4. They are gorgeous, fab combination, every time I try though, I always pull of the polish underneath :( I dont know what I'm doing wrong.

  18. Ohh these look so effective! I really want to try aztec nails too, but the design looks so intricate I know I'll mess it up. It may be time to treat myself to a WAH! manicure.

  23. Everyone has such wicked nail art these days, I'm so jealous! I can't do it because of work, my boss said orange nail polish was 'too much!' Dammnnnn! Found you through Gembear and will spend the afternoon trawling through your old posts! Following you for sure!
