Another manicure from the Grazia Magazine nail art ideas...

This one is Cloudy Nails... I looks a bit better in the magazine that my final attempt...

You begin with a solid base colour (I used pale yellow) then using eye-make up applicator sponges dab different pale shades of nail polish all over. 

Final Result

(Also this doesn't have top coat on)

Yellow: Australis Rub-a-dub-dub

Pale Green: Australis Sweetpea

Dark Green: Elf Bright Turquoise

Purple: OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender

So after spending a lot of time reading up on "Franken" nail polishes I decided to try some for myself.

Franken polishes are pretty much a nail polish that are created by mixing other nail polishes, pigments (loose coloured powder) or glitters.

This is my first attempt where I mixed :

- My left over Colour Stay Top Coat (Revlon)

- some old make-up powder foundation

-round silver glitter

So decided to add

- some more nude coloured powder (from an old make-up pallet)

- Some Revlon "Sheer Petal" nail polish (to try and thicken it up a little)

-and Sally Hansen "Rockstar Pink" to add a bit of multi-colour shimmer

Again following on from the trying all the nail ides from Grazia Magazine...

I did these pretty easily, I painted the nail a nudey brown shade and then used a nail art pen to draw my outline. 

Next time I might try with Orange or Green!

As promised here is my Green geometric manicure...

This manicure was super easy to do! 

Firstly I painted the pale green as a base, then once dry I used a nail art pen to paint the bright green and then darker green.

Pale Green: Australis Sweetpea

Bright Green: L.A. Colours Art Deco Mint Green

Dark Green: L.A. Colours Art Deco Quirky Turquoise

I was flicking through Grazia magazine and came across these cool nail ideas!

so I decided to try them all!

firstly Geometric nails!

I couldn't choose just one colour...

and I did them using different methods.

I painted my entire nail white then used a sheer pink to do the pale pink colour (this only really shows up well over white)

I then taped over sections of the pale pink and painted with the light purple.

but this was a mistake!

The masking tape pulled off bits of the pale pink (probably didn't leave enough dry time)

I then masking taped over the pale pink and purple to do the dark purple streaks, and again when I pulled off the masking tape it pulled off heaps of colour! 

so I ended up carefully going over each coloured section again with nail polish (that is why the lines aren't so crisp.

White (under colour): Sally Hansen Sheer Romance Naturel White

Pale Pink: Revlon Pink Orchid

Pale Purple: OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender 

Dark Purple: Elf Dark Purple Shimmer
