Ombre Nails

This is an effect I have wanted to try for ages and I first gave it a go a couple of weeks ago when I did Pink Nails (keep scrolling, you'll find it!). It got a bit messy, so I would advise covering around your nails with cellotape or something similar, but was easier than I expected. I'm not really sure what type of sponge you are meant to use but I just cut up a washing up-sponge!

The picture on the left shows all the nail varnishes I used and they are:

- Kiss me Quick in Pale Green (although it's much more blue, I used this as the lightest base colour)

- Kiss Me Quick in Blue

- Model's Own in 

- Barry M's Aqua Glitter

- Barry M's Aqua Blue

- Barry M's Cyan Blue

- Rimmel 60 Seconds in Clear

I hope you like! :)

Cherry Nail Art!!

This week I have done some really cute bright red cherries on my nails. 

The photo below shows the nail polishes that I used. From left to right they are:

- Sinful Colors in Snow Me White

- Sinful Colous in Exotic Green

- Fearne Cotton from the Perfect Polish Gift Set

- Rimmel 60 Seconds in Clear

- Model' Own in Scarlet Sparkle 

Below is a short tutorial, showing how I achieved this effect. If you do this you will be sure to receive loads of compliments as they are so cute!

1. Paint your nails with two coats of a plain white base-coat.

2. Use a dotting tool to make the cherries. Don't do them too close together or you won't be able to add the stalks and they don't have to be all the same size either.

3. Use a teeny-weeny paintbrush to paint on the stalks.

4. Paint on the "shine" using a smaller dotting tool. Firstly do a white circle on the top right of each cherry then a small red circle overlapping the white one to make a half moon shape.

5. Apply a top-coat.

I hope you like! :)

Happy Easter from 10 Nails and Counting!!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!

So, today I've done some cute Easter bunnies with a carrot on the ring finger. They were pretty simple to do, I just used a dotting tool to make their head and little ears, then again to do the pink ears and nose and added the whiskers with a tiny dotting tool.

Happy Easter to everyone, try not to eat too much chocolate!!

I hope you like :)
