Nail Art - Dainty Daisies

The Look:
I saw some gorgeous looks on Pinterest and just had to try it out myself! I love how soft this look is and at the same time very glamourous with the golden studs. If you don't have studs you can also use a droplet of gold polish.

I used two coats of Lunula to get a nice creamy beige base colour. I then used a generic white polish with my dotting tool to place the petals of the flowers. I then dipped my dotting tool in a tiny bit of base coat to pick the studs up and then placed them in the middle of the flowers. The studs sunk nicely into the polish, which meant they held well throughout the day. I then placed in some 'filler petals' between the gaps of the flowers to make the overall design look more cohesive. I topped my design with one coat of top coat to smooth it out.

Products Used:

  • Nail Juice Lunula (cream)
  • Nail Juice White (white)
  • Gold studs
  • Dotting tool

Nail Art - Purple and Gold


The Look:
I was inspired to create a look that used glitter to create the pattern rather than nail polish. I found that I liked using glitter in this way as the shapes are more consistent than if you were to use nail polish with a dotting tool.

To start with I used two coats of High Roller as my base colour. At the base of the nail I put four golden glitters beside one another, using my dotting tool, to create a single tessellation. For the accent nail I repeated this design. I dabbed my dotting tool in a tiny bit of base coat to help with picking up the glitters. I then sealed my nail design with a coat of Out the Door top coat. I used two coats of top coat over the accent nail as the glitter is bumpy.

Products Used:
  • Base colour - Revlon's High Roller from the Gel Envy range
  • Top coat - Out the Door
