Pink Heart Nail Art
This little heart design is very sweet, pink and Summery look however it is a little bit tricky.
For the nail design I used Nails Inc London 072 pale pink for the base. I got it free with the latest issue of InStyle Magazine and loved the pastel colour of it. For the heart I went for a brighter pink with Nails Inc Shoreditch colour. To do the little hearts on the right corner I actually used a little paintbrush from my A.S level art course, and I do not think I could of drawn the hearts on with it. A little cheats trick that I think I may very well use more often!
I recently bought some base coats and top coats as I thought I had so many colourful and sparkly polishes but actually hardly any before and after care ones. I chose to get a Boots own brand base coat and Collection 2000 lasting colour ice cube top coat. It has made my nails look much more shiny and gloss like as well as making them less likely to chip.

Union Jack Jubilee Nails
I think this may be my favourite nail art I've done so far! I originally wanted to do a crown on one of my nails but it came out looking very un crown like, so I chose to do union jack ones instead.
I used my Boots own brand base coat to prep my nails, and then used Nails Inc London's Wimpole Street colour. As I think purple is meant to be a royal-ish colour? To do the union jack design, I used Andrea Fulertons nail boutique dot and stripe brush in silver. I chose silver to represent the Diamond feel. However, I didn't think the silver was striking enough so I dipped the brush into a 17 silver nail polish that I got in a set for Christmas!
I hope all of you have an amazing Royal weekend!
