DIY Icing On The Nails...


For this DIY, my inspiration came from the cover of the latest ASDA Magazine, don't they look yummy.





~~~

This is how they looked like once I finished



~~~

Things you need:
- Base Coat (OPI Natural Nail Base Coat)
- Base Colour (Revlon 185 Sweet Tart)
- Nude Polish (Rimmel 60 Seconds 500 Caramel Cupcake)
- White Polish (OPI Alpine Snow)
- Red Polish (Barry M 262)
- Top Coat (Couldn't find mine so used the base coat)
- Fine Brush



~~~

 First apply a base coat and a base colour...



~~~


...next draw a heart on each nail...



~~~

...on my small finger I wanted the look of dusted icing sugar, I did this using the brush and stippling on the while polish...


~~~

...the next nail I did a red outline inside the heart...



~~~

...on the middle nail I drew red lines diagonally across the heart...



~~~

...then I painted the inside of the heart leaving an inner border...


~~~

...on the thumb I used white and pink polish to create the look of piped icing...


~~~

...finish the look with a top coat.

Have a great Valentine's Day everyone.
