Light Galaxy Nails Tutorial

I really love this top that I got from Matalan once and I thought the design would look really cute on nails. To recreate this look, apply a base coat and then: (1) Apply one coat of opaque white polish. (2-5) Make sure the white is thoroughly dry, then using a sponge, dab any colours that you'd like to use in random places. It will look odd at this point but it all comes together at the final stage! I used a yellow, blue, purple and pink by Barry M. (6) Apply a glitter coat! The one I used is by OPI and it has a mixture of really fine and chunky glitter pieces in it. This creates the illusion of stars! Don't forget to add a final top coat to ensure it lasts. If you like this and recreate it yourself, I'd love to see it, tag me in your pictures on Twitter or Instagram - @kazzmetics :) Have fun!

May - November 2012

Wonder Woman | Lightning Bolt | Clouds | My Nan with Galaxy nails! | Gotcha with Tutti Frutti Tips* (first Shellac manicure I ever did!) | Leopard Print | French with Glitter* | Galaxy Nails* | Red Baroness Galaxy* | The Flash! | Natural French* | Gold & Black* | Bollywood* | Black and Silver Gels | Cupcakes!!*

I recently celebrated my one year anniversary of running Kazzmetics (April 5th!) and these are some of the nails I did when I was first starting out :) The first few are just with regular polish because I didn't have any Shellac at that point. Any marked with a (*) means they were done with CND Shellac which I paid for myself. I'd like to think that I'm always improving in my work, I'm constantly learning in this job and I wouldn't change it for the world!

Delivery April 3rd

I absolutely love it when I wake up and the sun is shining so bright through my window and a man knocks on my door with a box full of CND goodies!!!! Also another little package from eBay arrived with my colour pops fan :) So excited to have a play with these and display all my colours on them. I'm expecting more nail art wheels over the next few days too so I can get some more art out there! eeeeeeee! I love my job!!

My most favourite thing: Placed Glitter

I am a magpie. Any excuse to play with glitter, I will jump at the chance. I saw a blog called Polishallthenails, her designs are so amazing I took some inspiration from her. Placed glitter is really time-consuming, the nails above took me an hour per hand! (I had to take a dinner break in between each hand) but they are SO worth it, especially when done with CND Shellac which means they should last for a couple of weeks rather than days. My model was my mum and she was so patient :) but she loves the nails now and I think she'll be super sad when the time comes that they do actually need removing. What do you think of these pretties?
