Lava Lamp Nail Art Tutorial

Day 6 of 31 day challenge: Purple Nails

 

I haven't really seen this design about but i think it look... FAB!!

You seen it here first. :)

 

For this tutorial you will need:

- Base and top coat

- light and dark colour nail varnish

- Glitter nail varnish

- Dotting tool

 

 

 

First off (as always) apply your base coat to protect your natural nails.

 

Once dry apply 2-3 thin layers of your base colour

I am using Barry M berry ice cream

 

 

Allow your base colour to completely dry.

Dollop a large blob of your darker colour on to a paper plate/ scrap paper

(or whatever you can get your hands on)

I am using Barry M vivid purple.

Dip your dotting tool in to nail varnish making you sure you have a generous amount on the end.

Get creative and make lava lamp like blobs on your nails.

 

Once your nails have completely dried.

Dollop a large amount of glitter nail varnish on to your paper plate.

I am using Models own - Ibiza mix (one of my fave varnishes)

 

With the same dotting tool apply the glitter on to the lava blobs.

 

Complete the look with a shiny top coat.

I am using Revlon quick dry top coat.

 

Your now ready to rock you new look.

*Don't have a dotting tool?.... You can use a blunt pencil ,the end of a hair grip or blunt the end of a tooth pick.
