I decided that seeing as it's the royal wedding coming up on the 29th of April and Kate + William are giving us a bank holiday off to have fun, that I would join in the celebratory atmosphere. I've painted up these pearly princess false nails and aswell as the usual tutorial I will be giving them away to a lucky winner (who will be picked at random). Full details of how to enter can be found at the bottom of this post - Good luck and hope you like the royal mint nail tutorial of course!
1) I painted the base colours of pale purple on the right hand and mint on the left - the ring finger (3rd finger) on each hand is painted in the alternate colour.
The nail polishes I used were:
Revlon 028 MintedBarry M 308 Berry
beauty uk 47 white
clear top coat
model for both sets of nails, sorry)
2) When dry, I paint the tips white like a french manicure. On the right hand ring finger paint the top half with the mint polish - repeat on left hand but with pale purple colour on top half of the ring finger.
3)Again make sure its well dried before painting purple tips on the right hand (leaving a strip of white showing) then do the same with the mint on the left hand.
5) I have chosen to use purple and green heart gems, smaller purple and green round gems and white pearls for the detail - I also use a clear top coat and cuticle stick to pick up the gems.
-I paint a stripe of clear top coat along the thin white strip on each nail (one nail at a time though) and attach the heart gem, followed by the pearls in a line either side, keeping them neat along the base of the white line
-Next paint the top coat above the line of pearls- up to the tip and attach the pearls that are above the heart, repeat this step on the lower half of the nail so the heart gem is set all round with pearls now.6) On the ring finger I paint a stripe of clear top coat over the white stripe, using the small round purple and green gems I make a line of alternating colours through the middle of the stripe, I stick a line of white pearls above and below the coloured gems .
...or a coffee morning with the girls (just as good!)
