Award Night Nails!


First up, a quick apology for lack of posts today, the WiFi man has been though and we're the proud owners of a brand spanky modem. So, without further ado, is a quick looksee at how I did my nails for the L'Oreal Colour Trophy Awards last night.

I was unsure as to what to do with my talons but knew the night would be super glam so took inspiration from my new ring and went simple but effective. It was my first chance to use the Nail Art Pen I picked up in River Island for €10 at the weekend (It's €12 in TopShop so be sure to check RI first, y'all)
.

2 x 3 in 1 Nail Art Pens - €10 from River Island
Fancy a simple pictorial on how to get the finished nail look? Course you do...




This one is so simple it doesn't even require a step by step - be sure to start with a base coat and finish with a nice slather of Seche Vite to set the ickle rhinestones. The look is super simple to achieve but honestly received many compliments on the night. It can be done with any combination of colours and really doesn't require any specific skill at nail art or painting to get the effect. 


What think we? Doable?
