Loved up in pink!

Here's the set I did for a couple of friends.


Varnishes Used:


Base - Sally Hansen Double Duty
Main coat - Sinful Colours 'Easy Going' 300 
Top coat - George (ASDA) No.63 'Matte Finisher' BEFORE stamping.
Ring finger - Coat 1 George (ASDA) No.31 'Groove', Coat 2 Barry M 337 'Pink Silver Glitter'
Stamping - Konad Special Nail Varnish in Pink.
Dots - George (ASDA) No.33 'Sherbert Fizz'.
Nail Plates - Cheeky: Vibrant collection.

How-to:


Start with the base and wait to dry. Apply two coats of Sinful varnish on all fingers except the ring finger. Apply 1 coat of George (ASDA) No.31 'Groove' to the ring finger then once dry apply a thick coat of Barry M 337 'Pink Silver Glitter'. Wait for everything to dry fully. Apply one coat of the George (ASDA) No.63 'Matte Finisher' to all nails apart from the ring finger. Wait for all nails to dry fully (or the stamping will mooosh the varnish underneath). Choose your nail plate designs and apply using the stamping kit and the Konad Special Nail Varnish in Pink. I went for plates CH15 for all the pale pink fingers, with the bow from CH24 on the thumb, then used a dotting tool and George (ASDA) No.33 'Sherbert Fizz' for the dots. Plate CH8 was used for the ring finger over the glitter. I have not used a top coat over the stamping and it's been absolutely fine. I used the pink glitter and carefully painted around the top of the thumb. Voila!

Freehand: Matching to clothes!


Tonights nails had to be thrown together super fast. This one takes about 10-15 mins depending on how neat you want to be. As you can see from mine.. I wasn't very near! :/ However I picked the colours based on my top I think I am going to wear tomorrow (pictured) - used a thin (few strands) long haired brush for the stems. straight flat brush for the petals and blotted a few patches of red on there using the end of the varnish brush. Matte top coat to finish and..Tada! Bit scruffy but worth a play :).
