No Nail Tech? Here’s how to do your DIY New Year Nails

Most of us can’t go to our nail techs these days, so here’s a way to do some great nails yourself! You can do it straight onto your own (polished) nails, or if you have any falsies, use them instead.

Happy New Year!

My (heaps of) Holiday Nails

Here’s some inspiration for your nail do-up for the holiday season πŸ™‚

As usual I used sets of false nails in colors of my liking, and decorated them – mostly with decals this time.

So go on and go for your own Glam Holiday Nails – after watching my video of course πŸ™‚

Free Tutorial: Working with Nail Decals

Handpainting your own nails is one thing – and I need lots more practicing! – but using decals instead is a whole different category! It’s easy, quick, with consistency in image quality and – most importantly – your nails will look gorgeous!

This week I show you how I apply them to fake nails; you could of course apply them to your own nails, but that is more difficult unless you’re seriously ambidextrous…

Decorating your own nails – with papercraft supplies?!

Here’s part 1 of what will probably become a new monthly or bi-monthly Nail Art series – hopefully – or else at least Attempted nail art…). Anyway, this week’s video offers you a nail art tutorial, using not just nail polish but also some of my scrapbooking supplies like blings, flatback pearls, and even glitter glue. Because, why not πŸ˜‰

I’m also showing you my secret to doing your left hand (when right-handed; and vice versa): use press-on nails with a very strong nail glue. These will last you 7-10 days and are a lot more budget-friendly than a monthly visit to a nail salon.

My goal is to learn more and more sophisticated techniques, delivering better art every time I try my hand at it. I’ll leave it up to you guys to be the judges of my progress…

Hope you’ll enjoy joining me on this new venture – this is just a bonus by the way, this will stay a papercraft blog πŸ™‚
