Makeup Savvy: Dazzle Dust Nail Tutorial - StumbleUpon

Makeup Savvy: Dazzle Dust Nail Tutorial - StumbleUpon
I've been wanting to try out paint splattered nails for ages now, however it seems like alot of hard work and also kind of messy! So me being supposedly 'savvy' and all I came up with a probably just as messy idea...but slightly more fun and prettier. Also it looks alot more delicate than having a paint splattered effect and alot less nail arty and more wearable. Now like I say... it is kind of messy so you will need at least one face wipe/baby wipe and something to do it on like the back of a magazine. Also your nail polish of choice and a pigment or dazzle dust! I used a Barry M Dazzle Dust in Brass (100) £4.50 and the nail polish is by Beauty UK in Smokey Lilac £1.79. 1) Firstly you need to give your nails one coat of nail polish. 2) Once dry you can apply the second coat. 4) You can either place the pigment on every finger all in one go or do one nail at a time. 5) Then you basically blow the pigment in the direction of the nail. At this stage your nails will look something like this!

Manicure Mondays - Essie LuxeEffects & Fab Fatale Essie LuxeEffects is a gorgeous collection of five shimmer, glitter and flakies top coats.

See Creatures & The Perfect Mermaid Curls Although “perfect” is a relative term, this method for curling hair is pretty much perfect by my standards, mostly because it isn’t fussy.
