The Disaster Mani.


After taking to Ebay last week to order myself some nail art bits and bobs I thought it would be a good idea to attempt a non-dot design using dotting tools. Truthfully I didn't know what I was doing, I just knew I wanted some pastel shades on my nails. I'm rubbish at nail art and to be honest I'm a glossy creme nail girl and always will be. Textured finishes are completely lost on me and I only try my hand at nail art when I'm bored but more often than not remove it before I leave the house. So I armed myself with 2 Nails Inc shades: 'Brompton Place' and  'Bluebell'. A lovely lilac from Revlon: 'Charming', and Essie 'Fiji' was my base colour of choice.

I splodged 'Bluebell', 'Brompton Place' & 'Charming' on to certain areas of my nails then wiggled a dotting tool around to mess it up a bit but still keep them in their sections. After it'd had time to dry I added a dollop of top coat and that's it.

Do I like it? No, not really but I'm going to attempt different nail arty looks so thought uploading them on here would be nice to look back on.

      I wish the leather/crackle/concrete/fur and everything else effects were illegal, they should be!

      Lately I've saw some really nice nail art designs, not tacky in the slightest and really subtle. I wish I wasn't so cackhanded! lol
