Simple Nail Art

Admittedly we are not the Biggest lovers of nail art here at VII...Although we can appreciate it, we tend to go for more simple, pastel and natural shades on our nails but recently (when we had a bit of time on our hands) we thought we'd be a bit adventurous and give it a go!! 

We put up our finished nail art attempt on our facebook page (see image below) and a lot of you wanted to see how we achieved this look and the products used! You will not believe how simple this is to achieve girls yet it looks so effective and funky!

So first up you want to prep your nails for the polish by removing any existing polish and  filing etc...then apply two coats of your base colour and for this we chose a gorgeous pastel, lilac  from Barry M in the shade 308 Berry. 

Once the two coats have dried then we can start having some fun!! 

We picked up this Maybelline ColorShow Polish a few months ago as we thought it was really pretty and different but never got around to using it!

It's basically a polka dot, confetti type of polish which can be used on it's own, all over the nail (see image below) or as we chose over a different polish! 

Maybelline Colorshow on it's own!

So all we did was layer up two coats of the Maybelline Colorshow just half way down each nail to give a cute scattered effect...You don't have to be too precise with it girls just have fun!

Then we would advise to apply two coats of clear nail polish over the top to seal in the confetti/polka dots and your good to go! 

We used Bourjois 1 seconde gel polish over the top!

Not to complicated huh? All you need is a little time and some imagination...

The Maybelline Colourshow Polka Dots come in a range of different colours and are available from Boots and Superdrug!

Price: €4.65

We will definitely be giving this another go...Will you??
