Metallic Tips - For your Nails

Now then girlies, if you're anything like me you stick to the style you personally prefer , whether its on trend or not , but like me you like to incorporate elements of the newest styles and trends into your personal look .

Now one of the major trends whih has stayed la Mode since 2011 and is featuring more and more in Highstreet fashion is Metallic accenting - specifically through accesories however if your looking for a major metallic statement try some of these on for size :

metallic skirt - oasis £50.00

Metallic Skinny Jeans - Oasis - £58.00

Douliz Premium Sequin Hotpants - missguided.co.uk - £22.99

However , you can create a metallic look without overpowering your outfit with your nails !!

Its pretty simple to be honest ;

1) Paint your nails with a Base coat - i use my Nail Envy , but you can use any base/top coat to protect your nails .

2) Paint on a base colour - 2 or 3 coats should suffice dependent on the colour or quality of the polish . you can use a metallic, no base, black or brights - i like to use a mauve shade such as Miscellaneous by misguided.

3) using a metallic finish polish ( such as instant nail effects by Barry M , foil effects ) carefully paint your tip onto your nail, if you cant do it without a template , use white crescent stickers , they're cheap and available at most drugstores for guided application (make sure your base is dry or the sticker will peel it off and that the tip is dry before removal or it will ruin the nail.)

4) Topcoat for shine or play with effects and use a matte topcoat.

Easy, Quick and On Trend.
