#NAILHACK: Get nailed and shimmer ~*(like a mermaid)*~

Here is an alternative method to achieving shiny/sparkly nails without glitter nail polish. I am afraid that I had to keep my nails short for this as I am a showjumper and ride horses on a daily basis - so it is unlikely that you find me with long nails! Still, the method works a treat and is great if you are short on time. For the example below, I used shimmer powder. This is how I was able to create such a unique look, if you would like to do your nails with normal glitter I recommend buying the nail polish (duh), otherwise stick with me...

1.

You will need - Glitter/Shimmer Powder, Coloured Nail Polish, Clear Nail Polish and a brush (eyeshadow brushes work well).

2.

Apply the nail polish in the colour of your choice.

3.

Whilst wet fill your brush with powder and lightly dab onto the nail.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all nails, wait until dry and cover with clear nail polish.

4.

VOILA! Super sparkly nails, far more shiny than most nail polishes!

Do you fancy trying this nail hack?

Oh, You Pretty Things

End of year exhibition!

Last Thursday I was asked to display my A-Level work in an end of year exhibition based on the Subculture of Punk. I had a great time and received some great praise, opportunities and advice. Next year I'm planning on studying the same topic but in more depth. I've recently also been to a Felting workshop, a Summer Ball, Uni open days and one of my friend's music gigs so I've had a lot going on. I'm also planning on travelling to Zambia/South Africa soon for a few weeks on an Art and Culture trip but should be posting fairly regularly again when I return. Until then, here are some photos taken at the exhibition.
