Mini Christmas present nails :)

It's Christmass! 

It's been agess since I last posted anything so sorry about that, I've had loads of work. But Its only 9 days until Christmas now, so here are some Christmassy nails to celebrate!

I had a bit of a shopping spree when I was buying Christmas presents, and ended up buying loads of new stuff for myself! I bought this Models Own nail art pen which was £5.78 from Boots, and so far im impressed! Its a little bit fiddly at first, but once you get the hang of it it's very easy :)

Sorry about the poor quality photos, I can't find my camera so i've had to use my webcam to take the pictures.

I started by painting my entire nails in Models Own 'Gold Rush' (got this free in Boots the other day-yay!). I needed a few coats because it gives a very sheer coverage.

Next, using a Models Own nail art pen I painted a cross onto my nails.

Finally, using the nail art pen again, I painted bows onto my nails.

Flower Nail Art :)

This is probably my favourite way to paint my nails!! Its sooo easy and I think it looks quite cool :)

All you need it 2 polishes which contrast well together ,and a thick and thin dotting tool (or just use the end of a hair pin and a cocktail stick).

1) First paint your nails in whatever colour you like. I Love pink, so im using a Nails Inc polish in 'Omp' (it was a freebee in the paper! woohoo).

2) Next, using your hair pin or thick dotting tool draw 5 dots in a sort of star shape. You need to apply enough polish to be able to spread the dot along in the next step.

3) You need to be quick so it doesn't dry! Using your cocktail stick or pointy dotting tool, drag each dot into the middle of your star shape, so that at the end it looks like a flower.

If you make a mess, sometimes putting a dot in the middle of the flower can make it look a bit neater :)
