nail art: starry cosmos

I finally got down to doing galaxy nails, something I've wanted to try for a very long time already but I didn't think I had the right colours for it.  I used dark purple, blue and a dark metallic purple/pink. You can try using metallic nail polish or (concentrated) glitter nail polish, they should work nicely as well and give a shimmer finish.This nail art makes use of a sponge to dab on the colours so that it blends nicely.  Paint a black base coat for the night sky.

nail art: flower power

This week's nail art is nothing much, it's really simple to do. I was actually hoping to create different designs for each nail but I wasn't liking what I was doing so I just put flowers on every nail.  Each flower consists of five dots, so that's all you need to do to create them. Join the portion of the dots towards the centre so that the shape is more defined.  And, they totally match my outfit to school today!  I think the ombre nail trend is back with a twist. Shall try it out and show you guys soon. xoxo
