nail gems: ebay
Seen accent nails floating around for a while now, Mainly a different coloured polish or a sparkly nail. Naturally I wanted to take it a step further. While watching Fresh Meat on Channel 4 I thought I'd add some nail gems for a accent nail. I started off using Seche Vite to put them on, but it dries too quickly so you have to keep applying it as you go along. I found using the Models own topcoat then applying the gems worked much better, as its tackier and takes a bit longer to dry so you have more time to work with when applying the gems. I used tweezers to put them on, its a little fiddly but it really doesnt take that long! Followed with a thick coat of Seche Vite to seal it all in, perfect blinged nails!
That looks really cute! I want to try this now :) xxx
ReplyDeleteThey look great! Love blinged up nails! Another way to put the rhinestones on is using a cocktail stick - I dip it in a bit of top coat, then put the rhinestone on. :) xx
ReplyDeleteI love fresh meat. 'Absolute classic'. Lovely nails xxx
ReplyDeleteLOVE them!! Hope you're feeling better this week xx
ReplyDeleteIf you have M/O Juicy Jules, you should try putting underneath the gems for ultimate bling! That's what I like to do (:

ReplyDeletethose look super cute, I love that pink !!!
ReplyDeletedepending on the colour of the gems (although you can clean them up easily after!) I use an old lip/eye liner to pick up mine, and just use the nail glue from my false nails to stick them on, followed by lashings of top coat once I've cleaned all the gems up! Give it a try :) xx

Love this, going to do have to try it one day! x
ReplyDeleteOoo,I wanna try it too :) Where'd you get the 'gem' things from?
ReplyDeleteLove what you did on your nails !
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while that i'm watching your two blogs (especially the other one of course, since this one is quite new), and i really like your style, it's refreshing, because even if you're classical, you also have excentricity and this is not something we see really often in France, people don't really take risks in their outfits (including me!)
Anyway, love your blogs !
Have a nice day,
Mélanie
