HOUSE OF HOLLAND INSPIRED NAILS

Today I decided to take some inspiration from the Autumn/Winter 2014 House of Holland show when painting my nails.
The infamous HOH polka dots were back this season and surrounded by neon oranges, bright pinks and emerald greens.

FIREWORKS INSPIRED NAILS

It's bonfire night. A night when we celebrate Parliament not being blown up by sending explosives into the sky.
Right.
I'm not planning on going to any displays this year. It's cold and I can see the local park display from my house for free!

I did create a firework inspired nail art the other day though and it seemed apt to share. This is literally the easiest nail art ever. All you need in a black, gold and glitter nail varnish.


I always use Rimmel Nail Rescue as a base coat and if I'm having a no nail varnish day or two). It definitely has helped my nails grow and stay strong. It dries super quickly too.
I then used Rimmel's 60 Seconds polish in Black Out on all my nails. I did use two coats because some came up a bit streaky but you could probably get away with one coat. These polishes are great. The brush is a nice width and they do dry very fast.
Then on my thumbs, I used a nail art brush and Models Own Gold Rush to just draw a diagonal line from the bottom corner, to almost the opposite corner.
Using Models Own Hed Kandi Ibiza Mix, I, a bit messily, put it on to the top of each nail (except the thumb) in a sort of french manicure style. Then on the thumb, I didn't put the diagonal line all the way to the other corner so I could use the glitter to look like the firework explosion.
And I finished it off with Sally Hansen's Inst-dri top coat.



Not the greatest photos, I'm afraid!

Hope you like them and if you are going out tonight, please be safe :)
