Olympic 2010

This is such a lovely design inspired and created for the winter olympics!

If you don't already have french tips, use image plate #m19

You will need blue, red, green, yellow, black, and white
Use the "O" on image plate #m18 to create the rings and
follow the Olympic symbol's colours. You can have a picture
for reference if you are not sure or forgot the order.


For the colourful flames, you will need image plate #m62 (top left)

This Olympic nail design will take a bit of time, since you are painting
on different colours for each flame, but you can also paint the flame in
one colour instead of creating a gradient effect.

You can also use m20 or m59 for the snowflakes =]

have fun =]

Holiday Design #7

Another snowflake design, but with rhinestones!
This will be great for parties or for special occasions... Christmas Eve or New Years?
Paint your nails in a light colour, then use the special white nail polish for the design.
Then put on the rhinestones in the middle of each snowflake =]

To put on the rhinestones:
01. dab a small amount of top coat onto the desired spot on the nail
02. find a toothpick, pen, or anything thin
03. dip the toothpick, pen, etc into the top coat to pick up the stone
04. place the rhinestone on the nail on the desired spot
05. apply a layer of top coat on the whole nail so that the stone is more secure

Holiday Design #6

This is a more festive design where you can use the Christmas tree on M12.
The red and green flower decoration is selected from the bell design on M12.
You can find the snowflake on M20 or M59.

The colours used in this design are white, green and red.
You can paint your nails in any colour as the base.

Hope most of you are enjoying your holidays!

Holiday Design #4

This is a Holiday gift inspired nail design.
This is used for the tips of the nails and you can combine
a variety of colours you wish to be used for the design.
M56 is used for the design below.



You can also use M59 if you would like to use a different type of bow for the design.

Holiday Design #3

This is another snowflake design, but including a french tip design.
You can do the french tips by hand or you can use plate M19.
A variety of snowflakes are used in this nail design.
All of the snowflakes used are on M59 for this specific design.

The small white dots can be done by dipping a toothpick or
a pen into the white polish for a snowfall effect.

Halloween Designs!

Halloween is just around the corner and here are a few simple designs you can do with plate #M13 and M14. M13 is the Halloween themed plate. M14 is used for the lollipop you see on the right of the pumpkin. You can combine designs from different plates to create your own design.

On the 3rd nail design, all the images are from plate M13 (the blood, "Halloween" text, and the pumpkin)

use several different colours to create a different effect, like the 2nd nail design you see with the zombies. It helps to separate objects.

Please click on the images to enlarge.



Essential colours:
- black, orange, white, deep red

For a spider's web effect, M57 has the crosshatch design that can be used as the background for the spiders from M28. Don't forget about the skulls on M13 and M28. You don't have to use the whole design. You can paint on top of the bones and create a separate design from the skull.



Add some bows or some french tip designs for a decorative and sophisticated touch.
