NAIL IT....

I am crazy inlove with the new trends for nails. Gone are the days of the gothic-fab look and in with the neon brights and customised nail art.

So now you can reflect your personality onto your nails... while some people may find it abit OTT, I think its awesome! Now I wont seem as awkward while every1 else is also sporting leopard print nails.
The best part about this trend is you can do it on short , rounded nails OR with tips on.

One of THE easiest ways to do this at home without the possibility of messing up is using my new BFF of nail polishes.. China Glaze. It's a light weight water based nail polish that spreads evenly and dries almost instantly.... and best of all its reasonably priced!
China Glaze is the only nail polish with which you can do this trick..
Step1: Fill a small bowl with water . Choose 4 china glaze colours you wish to use and organise them into the order you wish to use them.
Step 2:use the 1st colour of your choice and drop a blob into the middle of the water (notice how it floats) and repeat steps with the 3 other colours.
Step 3: take a toothpick and "draw a line" across the colours (i.e swirl them together)
Step 4: dip your nail into the colour design by placing it onto the colour then pulling itunder the water and back up. let it dry for a few seconds and blot dry. Use acetone to remove any nail polish from around the nail plate.

For a variation you could aslo pre paint a coat of white or black... or any colour of your choice as a base to the "nail art"
