Painting Other People's Nails

Hey everyone! It's almost a year since I did one of these posts and as I'm doing nails at Pastille nail bar in Leeds tomorrow (14th December) I thought it would be a good time to post all the nails I've been doing on other people. These are only over the past couple of months because I'm not very good at documenting it but hopefully you still get an idea! Don't forget you can come in tomorrow for walk-in appointments and I'll be there from 10-4 if you'd like any of my designs, or if you'd like christmas nails! I'll put the rest of the nails after the jump otherwise it'll be a bit long.

Tutorial Tuesday: Christmas Trees

Hey everyone! This post has been such a nightmare to get sorted. All my applications seemed to be crashing and I couldn't get anything sorted, and I almost gave up, but I wanted to get Tutorial Tuesday up on time and luckily I have! I'm going to be posting tutorials every Tuesday and Thursday before Christmas as I have quite a few to show you. I'm excited for you to see them all, and I also love to see what you do with the tutorials. Don't forget to tag me on Instagram or Twitter, or post on my Facebook, with any designs you do so I can see! The first one for this week is this sparkly christmas tree design on a base of Barry M - Crush from the Classic Matte collection. The rest of the post will be after the jump!


As mentioned before, the base for these nails is Barry M - Crush. For the tree I used Barry M - Emerald Green, and the glitter on the tree is a mixture of Barry M - (Limited Edition) Silver Lights and Barry M - Majesty for the top of the tree from the Royal Glitter collection. The glitter on the finger is again Barry M - Silver Lights, and it's all topped off with a coat of Barry M - All in One Nail Paint.



Step 1: Paint your nails with a base of Barry M - Crush
Step 2: Using striping tape, or normal tape cut into thin strips, make a triangle shape on your nails
Step 3: Fill in the triangle with more tape placed diagonally
Step 4: Paint over the tape using Barry M - Emerald Green
Step 5: Remove the tape
Step 6: Using a dotting tool, brush, or toothpick, paint glitter on the tree for the lights
Step 7: Paint the rest of your nails using Barry M - Silver Lights
Step 8: Finish off with a topcoat to seal in your design, and you're done!
