Why Wear A Base Coat?......

Three weeks ago for my Christmas party i wore a nice black and gold glittery nail art design. As i was in such a rush to get ready i skipped the base coat....oh how i regretted that.

A couple of days later ,when the hangover finally wore off, i removed my nail vanish to find my nails had stained a horrible yellow colour. 

Naively i thought the yellow would wear off after a couple of days BUT...it never.

After buffing my nails several time it took approximately two weeks for my nails to go back to normal.


 

Monarch Butterfly Nail Art Tutorial

The monarch butterfly is such a lovely nail art design.

Its so pretty people cant keep their eyes off my nails.. including me.

Its a tough one to crack and i don think i have fully mastered it as of yet but practise certainly does make perfect.

 

If your new to the nail art scene you may find it a little difficult as i did when i first tried it.

 
Have fun!
