DIY Sugar Spun Rainbow Nails...

A little over a week ago I painted my nails like this and thought I would post a DIY on how I created it.


You will need...
- Base Coat (OPI Natural Nail Base Coat)
- White Nail Polish (Natural Collection White)
- Glitter Nail Polish (OPI Pirouette My Whistle)
- Purple Nail Polish (2true Glossywear Nail Polish Shade 12)
- Blue Nail Polish (SurePromise from Ebay)
- Green Nail Polish (SurePromise from Ebay)
- Yellow Nail Polish (BarryM 134 Yellow 820)
- Coral Nail Polish (Revlon 990 One Perfect Coral)
- Safety Pin or Needle or Pin



Paint your nails with a base coat followed by a white nail polish...

OPI - Natural Nail Base Coat
Natural Collection White


...apply one coat of a glitter nail polish...


...starting with a green nail polish apply a small amount on some paper...


...using a safety pin or something with a fine point, mix the polish around until it becomes stringy...


...place the nail you want to paint next to the polish, with the other hand dip the safety pin into the polish and over the nail, repeat this a few times...


...repeat to all the nails...


...repeat with a blue nail polish...


...repeat with a purple nail polish...


...repeat with a yellow nail polish...


...finally finish with a coral nail polish...


...clean around the cuticles with an eyeliner brush dipped in some nail varnish remover, using a cotton bud will leave fluff on your nails and doesn't work as good...


...if you are thinking about adding a top coat it will mix the colours together and ruin the 'sugar spun effect'...it still looks good though like a rainbow...

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.
