Set aside some time to make sure that you are not going to get disturbed.  Make sure that the area you will be working is has good lighting, gather together what you need and here we go.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

First give yourself a manicure and miss out the enamelling.

Base coat.

Enamel colours of your choice.

Very fine, small paint brush.

Pot of water.

Water based paints.  The great thing about water based paint is that if you make a mistake then you can wipe it off with a tissue and water and start again.

Glitters and rhinestones if you wish.

Nail art sealer.

Top coat.

Orange stick or cocktail stick - to push stones or decoration onto the nail.

Tweezers - To pick up and place rhinestones.

NAIL ART PROCEDURE:

Design 1:  Combat nails.

1.    Put your base coat on and wait for it to dry.          

2.    Choose your coloured enamel  and paint on making sure that you leave time for it to dry in between each coat. (in this case you will need two types of green, one light and one dark, also some black water based paint)

3.   Then get your next colour and thinly dot it over the nail.

4.    With you paint brush, dip it in the black water based paint and draw lines in between and over the other colours.

5.    Use your nail art sealer to go over it all and when dry go over with a top coat!  You do not need to even do this one in greens, mix and match with colours that you like, red and pinks, different shades of orange!

Design 2:

1.    As before put base coat on your nails.

2.    Choose your coloured enamel.  Here I have used a yellow.

3.    Tip the end with a contrasting enamel.  I have used orange.

4.    Then with your brush add your water based paint in another contrasting colour in small dots going up the nail between the centre tip.  I have used white.

5.    Then with a matching colour in your water based paint add your tipped colour.  I have used the orange.

6.    Add your nail art sealer, then your top coat.

Below are some more colours for the same design, so you could match them to anything you are wearing.  Believe me people will notice them.  I have been stopped many times asking me where I get them done!
